Our products are enhanced by the following precautions.
All clinicians would agree that knowing the prescribed dental materials is essential to get the optimum result for the patient. Material knowledge also enhances the dental laboratory experience. There are indications and limitations to the various restorative materials on offer, in addition to new products entering the market over time. It is difficult for the Laboratory to manage the aesthetic outcome of a case where insufficient room for materials is given. Pindan Dental provides consulting services on material selection and innovations in materials upon request.
Temporary crowns that are well made minimize chairside adjustments when inserting the final restoration.
The integration of photos or videos from the Clinic to the Laboratory via Pindan Dental’s dropbox network ensures the optimum aesthetic outcome for dental cases. Ensuring shade tabs are visible with specific characterizations identified optimizes the final product. Explicit instructions on the lab prescription form are essential.
