Perfect partners for your practice

Thanks to rapid developments in digital dentistry and improved access to the required tools and equipment, more and more dental practices are looking to bring the production of certain appliances in-house. Of course, your lab will always play an integral role in fulfilling complex cases and turning around high volume work. But day-to-day, it’s perfectly possible for a practice to produce its own appliances. You just need the right products, the right tools, and the right partner to help you make it happen.

The ability to produce your own appliances, such as retainers, mouthguards and bleaching trays will save you time and money in the long run. You’ll benefit from complete control over your workflow, up-skill your staff, expand your offer and improve your customer service.

Why bring appliance production in-house?

• Save money – your lab bills will reduce as you transition to in-house appliance production.
• Faster turnaround – with the best will in the world, communication between practice and lab regarding a case can take time, not to mention waiting for the delivery once your appliance has been posted out. Producing your appliances in-house gives you control over when your patients’ appliances are made and fitted
• Upskill your team – ensure your staff are trained up on the use of he latest technology and watch their motivation and job satisfaction levels increase
• Customer service – with your own machine, you can offer a premium service to your private patients, remaking lost or broken appliances and creating relief appliances on the spot for patients in need.
• Traceability – you’re in control of buying your own materials so you can be confident in their quality – and you can experiment with different options, rather than being limited to the materials stocked by your lab.
• Streamlined workflow – whether you’re a digital practice or not, you’ll be able to manage the entire process in-house, casting your own impressions or printing your own models from patient files. Your cases need never leave the practice, so you’re in full control of every aspect of production.

 

What do you need to get started?

If you have or are planning to buy an intraoral scanner, you can take digital impressions from your patients which will then be used to fabricate the appliances using 3D printing technology.

If your practice still takes alginate impressions, you can cast them up and create your appliances using our pressure forming machines and materials.
