An in-house dental lab means a dental clinic has its own laboratory to carry out the manufacturing or part of the technical work within the clinic. An in-house dental lab allows dental professionals and patients to deal with dental treatment more practically.
At Maltepe Dental Clinic, we have a well-equipped in-house dental lab that enables our dental professionals to have full control over any dental treatment. The in-house lab brings enormous advantages not only for the dentists but also for our patients in terms of service quality.
Almost any treatment in dentistry involves exact specifications tailored for each patient. Thus, the fabrication process of the dental products (e.g: veneers, braces, implants…etc.) should precisely meet those specifications set by the dentists. An in-house dental lab allows dentists to have full control over the manufacturing process.
Thanks to an in-house lab, a dentist can get the required restorations and appliances fabricated at the clinic right away. If any update is needed, the dental professional can make the adjustments directly. Sending the impressions to an external laboratory and dealing with the adjustments usually takes more time and thus reduces the efficiency of the treatment.
Communication between the dental professional and the technician in the laboratory is very important in the fabrication of dental appliances. An in-house dental lab makes their communication easier and more direct. As a result, the final product is more likely to meet the specific needs of the patient.
In some cases, patients might need to go to the laboratory for some advanced dental procedures in addition to the dentist’s office. If the dentist’s office and dental lab are far from each other, it is a huge burden for the patient. For this reason, an in-house laboratory is a great convenience for patients.
Custom restorations and appliances are key factors in the success of a dental treatment. An in-house dental lab maximizes the success rate through increased customization of the required dental appliances such as implants, veneers, crowns…etc. Therefore, an in-house dental lab can be an indicator of better patient care at a dental clinic.
Maltepe Dental Clinic has an in-house lab that allows their technicians to fabricate a lot of dental restoration materials. Some critical procedures of the treatments are conducted quickly and easily thanks to our in-house laboratory.
Our in-house lab is designed to create the most aesthetic and customized smiles for our patients with the help of cutting-edge technology while adhering to dental lab regulations. With our lab, we can do zirconium crowns, EMAX Laminate veneers, digital smile designs, mock-ups with a 3D printer, mouth guards for bruxism patients, implant crowns, as well as temporary prostheses and normal crowns. Each veneer or crown is digitally designed and produced.
Furthermore, our 20 years of experience is not limited to our technologically advanced tools. Our designer and ceramist spend a substantial amount of time and effort to apply the aesthetic touches on each tooth. Their meticulous effort and great expertise make Maltepe Dental Clinic special. Each smile is customized, and our lab technicians handcraft each smile to design unique smiles. We also believe that having cutting-edge technology wouldn’t make such a great impact unless we have highly competent technicians in our laboratory, as we do
At Maltepe Dental Clinic, we utilize the following technologies in the most effective way possible in our in-house dental laboratory:
Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing systems are used to create the above-mentioned 3D modeling of the impressions, and manufacture the custom-made dental devices.
3D printers enable the technicians to manufacture dental components.
Curing Systems: Curing systems provide us with a dental curing light so that technicians can deal with the resin materials more effectively.
A trishape scanner is a device that uses laser technology to create detailed 3D images of a patient’s teeth and gums, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and restoration design.
The systems enable us to fix the existing restorations in a practical manner. For example, relining old dentures is easier now than ever before.
So, as you can see, choosing a dental office with an in-house lab will save you a significant amount of time while offering you a more practical treatment experience.
