That's pretty much the idea!

A fully digital process would allow this treatment to be offered by any dentist, anywhere in the world (with a good internet connection, of course).

Could I have the X-ray taken in the US, digitally sent to your lab, and then show up at your lab with the new implant waiting? (Hypothetically)

Not yet...

With the right investor(s), that 'hypothetical' will change into an affirmative. (And you'd only have to travel to your local dentist.)
