In‑House Laboratory
At Columbia Implant Center, our state-of-the-art in-house lab represents the pinnacle of dental innovation and patient convenience. This 2020 addition has been integral to our mission of providing comprehensive, high-quality dental care that is both efficient and precise. By having a fully equipped lab within our practice, we can deliver a wide range of dental services that are tailored to the unique needs of each patient, often times, all within the same day. Cutting-Edge Dental TechnologyOur in-house lab is equipped with the latest dental technology, including advanced milling machines, intraoral scanners, and 3D printers. These cutting-edge tools allow us to produce high-quality dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, and implants, with exceptional accuracy. The integration of digital impressions and 3D printing technology ensures that each prosthetic is custom-made to fit perfectly, providing optimal comfort and functionality for our patients. Advanced Milling MachinesOur advanced milling machines utilize computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to fabricate dental prosthetics with exceptional accuracy. Intraoral ScannersIntraoral scanners help us create detailed 3D images of the teeth and gums, while eliminating the need for traditional, messy impression materials. The process is quick and non-invasive, providing a comfortable experience for patients. 3D PrintersRepresenting the cutting edge of dental technology, our 3D printers enable us to produce highly accurate and detailed models, guides, and prosthetics using digital designs. Same-Day Restorative SolutionsOne of the most significant advantages of our in-house lab is the ability to offer same-day restorative solutions. Many practices often require multiple visits over several weeks to complete restorative procedures, as they rely on external labs for the fabrication of dental prosthetics. Our in-house lab allows us to expedite this process. For instance, if you need a crown, we can take digital impressions, design the crown, and mill it on-site, all within a single appointment. This not only saves time but also reduces the inconvenience and discomfort associated with temporary restorations. Dental Implants and Our In-House LabOur in-house lab plays a crucial role in our implant dentistry. The success of dental implants relies heavily on precise planning and execution. Our lab's advanced imaging and modeling technology enable us to plan the implant placement with pinpoint accuracy, creating surgical guides that ensure optimal positioning and alignment. This precision minimizes the risk of complications and enhances the overall success of the implant procedure. Our lab also supports complex surgical procedures, such as full-mouth reconstructions and All on 4® implant solutions from Nobel Biocare. These treatments often require the fabrication of multiple prosthetics and components, which can be efficiently handled by our in-house team. By producing everything on-site, we can closely monitor quality and make necessary adjustments, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Experience the Benefits of a One-Stop Shop for YourselfThe close collaboration between our dental specialists and lab technicians ensures that every restoration meets our high standards for esthetics and durability. By consolidating all aspects of dental care under one roof, we are able to provide a more comfortable and personalized patient experience. Whether you need a simple restoration or a complex dental procedure, you can trust that our in-house lab will deliver exceptional results, ensuring that you leave our practice with a healthy, beautiful smile. |
