Full-Arch Digital Implant Solutions

Complete "Teeth-in-a-Day" workflows using

• AI-Planned Surgical Guides: Software analyzes CT scans to plan optimal implant placement, which is then translated into a precision 3D-printed surgical guide.
• Prefabricated Provisional/Final Prostheses: The lab designs and manufactures the full-arch bridge before surgery, based on the digital plan. After implants are placed, this prosthesis is immediately attached.

Digital Dentures

A fully digital workflow from scan to finish.

• Milled or Printed Denture Bases: Using advanced pink resins that are more hygienic and dimensionally stable than traditional acrylic.
• AI-Assisted Teeth Arrangement: Software suggests tooth positioning based on anatomy and aesthetics.
• "Duplicate-in-a-Day" Service: Using a patient's existing denture as a template, a lab can 3D scan it, make digital adjustments, and mill a replacement in hours.

Guided Surgery & Prosthetics

Beyond full-arch, this applies to single implants and complex cases.

• Dynamic Navigation Guides: While often surgeon-driven, labs provide the 3D-printed components that integrate with real-time surgical navigation systems.
• Custom Healing Abutments & Provisionals: Designed and printed/milled to emerge through the gum tissue with an ideal contour from day one, shaping the gingiva for a perfect final crown.

Enhanced Aesthetics with Digital Tools

• 3D Facial Scanning Integration: Merging data from an intraoral scan with a 3D facial scan to design restorations in harmony with the patient's lip support, smile line, and facial aesthetics.
• Digital Smile Design (DSD) Collaboration: Labs work directly from the dentist's DSD mock-up, using it as a digital blueprint to create restorations that match the approved preview.
• High-Translucency Zirconia Staining & Characterization: Digital files can now guide staining robots or technicians to apply characterization with incredible precision, mimicking natural tooth optical properties.

On-Demand & Distributed Manufacturing：

• Cloud-Based Lab Platforms: Dentists upload scans to a lab portal, where designs are made, approved digitally, and then manufactured at a centralized, high-tech production center—often with faster turnaround.
• In-Office/Peer-to-Peer Milling/Printing Support: Some labs provide "lab-in-a-box" services, where they handle the design remotely and then send the ready-to-print/mill file to the dentist's office for local fabrication.

Multi-Layered Zirconia

Multi-Layered Zirconia: The new gold standard for crowns and bridges. Discs are pre-sintered with gradient translucency (e.g., a more opaque layer near the preparation, a highly translucent incisal edge). This allows for monolithic (single-material) restorations that are incredibly strong and aesthetically indistinguishable from natural teeth, often eliminating the need for traditional porcelain layering.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) & PEKK: High-performance polymers for

• Removable Partial Denture Frameworks: Metal-free, lightweight, biocompatible, and flexible.
• Temporary Crown & Bridge Materials: Especially useful for implant provisionals due to their low wear against titanium.
• Final Crowns (as a composite-based material).

3D-Printed Permanent Restoratives

• Printed Ceramics & Hybrid Materials: New resins are classified as "hybrid ceramics" or "ceramic-filled polymers" (e.g., 3M Lava™ Ultimate, Vita Enamic). They are printed, then cured/polished for definitive inlays, onlays, and crowns.
• 4D-Printed Denture Teeth: Research is moving toward materials that can change properties or self-adjust over time.

Bio-Active & Smart Materials

• Bio-Active Glass Ceramics (e.g., LiSi from GC): Materials that release fluoride, calcium, and phosphate ions, potentially helping to remineralize adjacent tooth structure.
• Antimicrobial Polymers: For denture bases, incorporating agents to reduce candida albicans (thrush) growth.

Advanced Manufacturing Consumables

• High-Strength, Aesthetic 3D Printing Resins: For long-term temporary crowns, surgical guides, and models.
• Milling Blocks for Extended Edentulous Spans: New, reinforced composite blocks allow for milling full-arch provisional bridges in one piece.
