Achieve Unmatched Precision in Dental Restorations with In-Clinic Milling
In-clinic dental milling transforms traditional restoration processes by utilizing precise, on-site equipment to craft dental prosthetics like crowns, veneers, and bridges.
This approach integrates detailed digital scans with high-accuracy milling devices, ensuring each restoration fits flawlessly according to the unique contours of each patient’s mouth.
The streamlined process not only increases the precision of each piece but also significantly reduces the time patients spend in the dental chair.
By bringing these capabilities directly to the clinic, patients benefit from quicker, more comfortable treatments and enjoy durable, aesthetically pleasing results faster than ever before.
What are the Benefits of Dental Milling?
Faster Turnaround Times
Traditional methods often require sending molds to external labs and waiting days or even weeks for the return of finished products. In-house milling significantly cuts down these waiting times, producing restorations in a matter of hours.
Reduced Costs
By eliminating the need to outsource to dental labs, clinics can save on the costs associated with shipping and lab fees. These savings can often be passed on to the patient, making treatments more affordable.
Greater Accuracy
Digital scanning and milling allow for extremely precise measurements and fit. This precision helps in creating restorations that align perfectly with the patient's existing teeth and gums, reducing the need for adjustments and remakes.
Immediate Adjustments
If a restoration needs any adjustments or refinishing, having the milling equipment on-site means these can be handled immediately, without the need to send the restoration back to a lab.
Customization Options
With direct control over the milling process, dentists can offer more personalized options in terms of materials and designs. Patients can benefit from restorations that are tailored not just for fit but also for color and aesthetics.
Better Patient Experience
Patients prefer quicker and fewer appointments. In-house milling means that procedures that traditionally took multiple visits can often be completed in a single visit, enhancing the overall patient experience and satisfaction.
