Unlike most implant clinics, we have our own in-house dental laboratory, Signature Ceramics.
The Lab has a dedicated team of qualified experienced Dental Technicians and fully equipped with the most advanced digital laboratory equipment and systems available. This combination of cutting-edge technology and our experienced team allows us to create and craft implant crowns and bridges into beautiful, natural-looking teeth.
For you, the patient, this means that the dental technician is an integral part of your clinical team. They ensure that the colour and contour of your crown and bridgework looks perfectly natural next to your existing teeth. It also means that any complications can be dealt with as you wait, instead of unnecessary delays caused by sending work back to external laboratories. For the dentist it provides a seamless relationship, overcoming normal remote communication problems and enabling integrated teamwork to produce beautiful smiles and exceptional fit.
Using both Zirkonzahn and Straumann CAD/Cam systems,alongside our 3D printer enable the Lab team to carry out all steps of the workflow in-house. The precision and capability of this software is truly remarkable, giving the best possible results every time.
Both systems work in conjunction with the Trios intra oral scanner which is used by the dentist to capture a 3D image of your teeth, meaning no impression taking is required.
We are very proud of being at the forefront of technology and having a digital laboratory on-site, so you will probably find yourself being shown around it at some point!
At Care Dental Implant Clinic we have our own in-house dental laboratory. It is staffed by four very experienced technicians and fully equipped with the most advanced digital laboratory equipment and system available – Zirkonzahn.
