Is iPad Scanning the Next Major Market Trend? A Conversation with Medit’s Matt Mock

Is iPad scanning about to reshape the intraoral scanner market? In this episode of Digital Dentistry Decoded, Dr. Ahmad sits down with Medit's Matt Mock to find out.

Matt Mock, Senior Director of Education Marketing at Medit, joins Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny for an in-depth conversation about where digital dentistry is headed. They discuss Medit's remarkable transformation over the past year, their shift from hardware-focused company to software solutions provider, and what the i900 Mobility's iPad-based approach signals for the broader industry.

The discussion covers a lot of ground, from the surprising utilization gap between 3D printers and mills in dental practices, to the new Ortho Suite with AI-powered treatment planning that had orthodontists buzzing at AAO. Matt shares candid insights on why scanner accuracy has become largely commoditized, the technical realities of Wi-Fi scanning, and the design philosophy behind Medit Link Express's streamlined interface.

Dr. Ahmad and Matt also dig into what's coming from Medit in 2026, including new diagnostic features, software innovations, and some hints at future hardware developments. Plus, they tackle the most common questions dentists have been asking about iPad scanning.

Whether you're a Medit user curious about what's next or simply interested in where intraoral scanning technology is headed, this conversation delivers practical insights straight from the source.
