Dentures are in growing demand as our population of denture users climbs each year. Considering the time it takes to manufacture traditional restorations, plus the number of try-in appointments, many physicians and their patients are looking for a faster, more timely, and more efficient alternative. Fortunately, today’s advancements in technology have provided a simpler solution: digital dentures. 

The advent of dental implants has provided superior tooth replacements and revolutionized dentistry. Within the past two decades, implants have greatly evolved.  As a result, many manufacturers are competing to provide the best implant solutions.

Partial dentures are a fully removable solution for partially edentulous patients to restore aesthetics and function. There are many types of partial dentures that are available in a variety of durable and high-grade materials, such as acrylic resin, metal, and thermoplastics. 

​The development of dental ceramics has enabled clinicians to offer highly aesthetic and functional cosmetic procedures. Veneers can help address certain cosmetic or structural issues. There are three main types of veneers: porcelain, composite, and removable.

​The Dental Lab is one of the top labs in creating smiles with brand-new, easy, and efficient technology. Our team is continuously evolving with the goal in mind to provide greater visibility and control over the lab work.

​Compared to traditional removable dentures, 3D-printed dentures are less labor-intensive, and they reduce the number of office visits. 3D dentures improve the workflow of the dentist by making it flexible, archivable, and repeatable with dental technology. The accuracy of digital dentures results in fewer try-in and adjustment stages, which means less chair time overall.

​Prosthetics can be built as full-contour monolithic restorations without the need for veneering ceramic. In turn, the preparation for pressed lithium disilicate is minimally invasive, while maximizing the aesthetic and strength of metal-free restorations.

The Dental Lab's CEO, Jay Collins, was recently featured in Evident's Lab-To-Lab Education Series where he spoke about how to secure DSO businesses. Evident has written an article that summarizes the key points from the webinar, Land a Whale: How to Get DSO Business:

​iTero has been a reliable source for dental scans for over 80 million restorative and orthodontic cases. It is renowned for designing innovative and aerodynamic intraoral scanners for dental practices. The introduction of the Element 2 imaging system has allowed general practitioners, orthodontists, and technicians to streamline their workflow.

​Today’s dental patients are investing in more than just function when it comes to their restorations. Now, aesthetics play a vital role in their choice of treatment. Due to the biocompatibility and the aesthetic ability of all-ceramic solutions, Emax lithium disilicate has been the material of choice for over 15 years to address a wide range of applications, including veneers, inlay, only, crowns, and bridges for anterior and posterior regions.
