A good smile can form a favorable first impression in a few seconds. Dental patients who opt for smile contouring or smile adjustments know this and they expect the very best from their dentists. quality lab karachi As a result, dental laboratories that actually create laminates, veneers, caps and bridges are held to very high standards. Every tooth replacement made by dental lab technology has to be completely life-like, esthetic and perfectly suited to the patients smile.

As a result, dental lab technicians ensure that their skills are honed with the latest in lab technology. CAD-CAM imaging, computer- based scanning and milling techniques and digital imaging and restoration planning procedures are a must even though they can be quite expensive to use and every technique-sensitive.

Many lower-order dental labs try to save costs by using talented lab technicians who do the work manually so that they can avoid investing in expensive technical appliances. However, we understand that patients expect the best and we deliver the best. A high quality of service is essential and that is possible by combining the services of talented lab technicians along with the best in imaging and milling technology.

In the last few decades, there has also been increasing demand for well-fitting dentures. Hand-made dentures or partial dentures tended to move and shift in the mouth causing quite a few problems for the user. However, the use of technology and trained technicians has made well-made dentures indistinguishable from natural teeth. They remain stable during coughing and sneezing and even allow the patient to chew quite comfortably. These are a world apart from the older models of dentures and patients who have seen the newer versions will always opt for them.

All this is possible only with the advent of computers in the dental lab arena. Personalized computer programs measure millimeters of difference in the oral measurements sent by dentists to the laboratory to create individualized, technician-error free dentures, laminates and veneers that are completely life-like and beyond error.

Says James Marsden, a dental lab marketing manager, "Skilled lab technicians are the mainstay of dental labs but they are not enough in these days...Patient's deserve the best when it is available. It is our duty to make sure that we use the best lab technology and technicians who have trained on that technology to provide world-class restorations that cannot be distinguished from natural teeth. And this is completely possible."

One of the latest advances offered by such advanced labs includes complete ceramic dentures. Full dentures were always a problem for patients as they shifted around during chewing and sometime came off during talking.

Talented lab technicians along with the best in imaging and milling technology overcame many of those problems. Ceramic dentures, on the other hand, are in a world by themselves as they are extremely strong, stable and feel very lifelike to the patient. However, they have to be fabricated by CAD-CAM technology and requires the use of a trained lab technician.

Apart from dentures, cosmetic dentistry also relies heavily on technology driven labs. More and more patients are opting for smile remodeling procedures even when they do not have any problems with their teeth.

Intricate laminates, veneer, full-ceramic caps etc have to be made to exacting standards, fits and shade to suit the smile of a patient. Maxine Miller, who practices dentistry in Los Angeles, echoes the sentiments of James Marsden saying, "Patients deserve the best smile when they are paying the best. If technology can provide the best, then its time that dental labs integrate the best technology, services and products to produce the best for discerning patients."
