Dental Lab Outsourcing

Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) processes are used across dental labs and dental offices to streamline and improve the dental restoration manufacturing process.

Computer aided operations make dental lab processes more accurate and efficient.

e.max, developed by Ivoclar Vivadent, is an all-ceramic material made of lithium disilicate (LS2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) for press manufacturing or for CAD/CAM.  Simple and versatile, e.max dominates the market of top-tier aesthetics and durability for the most life-like restorations. For a hand finished touch, there is a universally applicable nano-fluorapatite glass-ceramic available for veneering all e.max components.

Dental implants are “root” devices meant to anchor the restorations to the correct place in the mouth. Usually made of titanium or zirconia, they rest in the patient’s jaw to support crowns, bridges, prostheses, or dentures. Multi-unit abutments are available as well.

​

Implants and abutments permit movement along one axis without reciprocal movement of the restoration. Can be used as anchors for orthodontic tooth movement.

Zirconia crowns have quickly taken over the dental industry as the preferred material for crowns and bridges.  In addition to being a strong substance with excellent wear resistance, zirconia has aesthetic properties that allow it to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. The well-rounded nature of zirconia means that there are options appropriate for anterior as well as posterior restoration, especially in cases where the crown/bridge is directly adjacent to visible, natural teeth.
