Fernando Polanco is a Computer Technician from his country Guatemala Central America. In 2011 he became a Registered Dental Assistant in California. In 2013 he started his career as a CAD CAM Dental Technologist. He got involved working in a In House Lab Implant Center using Cerec, 3shape, Implant Studio and exocad softwares, TRIOS 2, 3 and, Bluecam intraoral scanners. In CAM Sum 3D, Hyperdent, and exocam.

Fernando Polanco introduced in 2015 such a great technology to Digital Dentistry Artec Spider and in 2019 InstaRisa 3.0 3D facial scanner that offers great quality data and gives many solutions to Dentists for all AllonX treatments, and allows you to create digital workflows for Dentures in one or two appointments combined with TRIOS or any IOS scanner without using the conventional methods of wax rims. He tells us what are the main purposes of using a 3D face in Digital Dentistry and having the right alignment of the models with the 3D face is the key of predictable restorations. He loves to teach, help and share his knowledge to Dentists and Techs in our new digital era. 

Who are we?
Just a General Dentist and a Digital Dental Technologist who have been blessed to meet and work side by side since 2018. We will be the first to admit that there have been frustrations, failures and challenges along the way, but they motivated us to learn and improve our workflow. As a general dentist who provides procedures from fillings to All-On-X restorations, Dr. Art Mirelez and Fernando Polanco have created workflows for all types of cases (All on X, Implant over dentures, full mouth crown and bridge, veneers, complete and partial dentures). This synergistic combo has allowed for finding better, faster and less expensive digital ways of doing prosthetic and surgical procedures. We are not done yet, we are constantly working on improving our workflow. Passionately striving for perfection and achieving excellence is what drives InstaRisa.

Why is it called InstaRisa?
Simple, InstaSmile was trademarked already, so the fact that Dr. Mirelez and Fernando both speak Spanish, InstaRisa was perfect. Sonrisa means Smile and Risa means laughter and this is what InstaRisa brings to all involved.

How to implement InstaRisa?
Take a certification course from us or a partner certified laboratory. Private courses available now and group courses to be announced soon.
