What is a Digital Dental Laboratory?

A digital dental laboratory enables the production and design of dental restorations through the use of various technological tools and software programs.

One digital scan process is that the clinic has the intro-oral scanner and digital dental laboratories receive the intro-oral scans from the dentists. And another one is the clinic doesn’t have its scanner for a lab to be digital. the lab can take impressions and scan them into a software program using digital technology. Istar Dental Laboratory provides both technical and once we receive scans, our technicians use CAD software to design the the tooth based on the patient’s specific needs and anatomical considerations.

After the design is confirmed and finalized, the digital file will sent to a 3D printer and a milling machine to process. These machines can precisely carve or print the false tooth using ceramics, resins, or metals. Digital dentistry allows dental labs and dentists to provide more accurate, consistent and efficient diagnoses and treatments. It also allows them to provide a more personalized patient experience with greater precision, comfort, and convenience.

In addition to prosthetic fabrication, digital dental laboratories may also offer smile design simulations, digital treatment planning for orthodontics and implants, as well as virtual consultations with dentists and patients. Overall, digital dentistry is revolutionizing the design and manufacturing of dental prosthetics , making the process more efficient, cost-effective, and patient-friendly.
