Is this for me?

This PDF is for dental professionals involved in implant dentistry, such as surgeons, lab techs, practice managers, and educators exploring digital/3D printing tech for surgical guide fabrication and guided implant surgery.

But I can just send it to a lab...

While sending surgical guides to an external dental lab is an option, having an in-clinic 3D printing system offers several advantages:

• Greater control over the entire process, from design to manufacturing
• Faster turnaround times
• Ability to make adjustments or reprints on-site if needed
• Potential cost savings by reducing lab fees over time
• Convenience for same-day dentistry patients

Knowing the workflows unlocks the ability to implement these techniques to your practice and increase your efficiency - which leads to treating more patients, having more precise outcomes and feeling confident in your implantology.
