From e-book readers to streaming services, everything seems to be going digital. However, some “old school” techniques are still valuable. For instance, diagnostic wax-ups may seem antiquated, especially if you use digital impressions, virtual smile software, and other technology on a regular basis, but they come in handy in many situations. In this blog post, you’ll learn about the things that wax-ups can still do for your practice, impact your bottom line, and how your dental lab can help.

You’ve worked hard to achieve your goals and build your dental practice. In addition to the years you sacrificed for dental school, every year you dedicate time to continuing education to keep your skills sharp and updated so that your patients can receive the best possible care.

In this blog post, you’ll learn about what to look for in the people who work at your dental lab.

Did you know that nearly 20 percent of orthodontic patients are over the age of 18? However, many of these patients don’t want to be stuck with brackets and wires for several years in order to have a smile they’re proud of.

Your patient is coming in to have their new crown placed. As you position it on the tooth, you immediately see that the restoration’s shade is way off. It stands out and looks unnatural compared to the surrounding teeth, and it doesn’t take long for the patient to notice and point it out too. You have to send the crown back to the dental laboratory for rework, and your patient leaves your practice disappointed to say the least. If this happens on a semi-regular basis, it may be to time to look for another lab.
