As our current market transitions over to Full Contour digital crowns driven by a recent production surge from some of Canada's Largest Full Service Dental Manufacturing Laboratories - it is essential that Kastle Mills acts to provide a quality esthetic Zirconia crown for our clients at the right price!
Your dental lab is probably feeling the pressure from your dentist partners to `meet the advertised esthetic requirements' of products like Bruxir and Opalite in a Full Contour Zirconia Crown - then to complete such a restoration at under $200. Did you know Glidewell is milling up to 1000 BruxZir Crowns per day! or up to 5000 a week. - that's what we heard!
We have geared our operations for the past 10months towards equipment and personnel to meet this challenge and create new industry benchmarks for quality and esthetics. We anticipated this `new wave' of monolithic restorations about a year ago following trends in the US market.
Although you may be feeling `competitive pressure' from other large dental laboratories - rest assured it is nothing like the US market place. This is an opportunity for you as a dental lab owner to embrace competition and reassess your business model and processes and come out stronger than ever - staying agile and embracing change in this new emerging market place. This is unlikely a fad but a start of a necessary trend driven by price, speed and shift into digital design and manufacturing. We will be posting some interesting figures and facts provided by DIAC and other large industry `think tanks' on what is driving the industry to change so quickly now. - we will keep you posted
What we are doing to help empower dental lab owners across Canada.
We have worked over 10 months to
Create unmatched robust anatomy in our full contour digital crowns - we say unmatched because we have our own robust custom built 3Shape anatomy library (no other centre has it)
Ensure superior design and a precision fit to provide our customers with the ability to just stain and glaze - this has taken time! but we have nailed it with virtual articulation and the process of dialing in occusal relief
Provide our clients with 5axis milling and unmatched post production for better quality than any of our competitors - again refining our processes and resources
Provide the benchmark in speed for production turnarounds - partnering up up with Canada's best logistical companies for 48hour across Canada turnarounds for stl files.
We thought we had it all nailed down - We did monochromatic shading that was decent, then better with hand shading it still was not acceptable by our standards.
Want to learn about Zirconia: Making a Superior Full Contour Zirocnia Crown
Although Zirconia is after all `purpose built' to be a core, strong and translucent - it was not engineered to be a full contour restoration. Although dental labs have used the function of occulde on zirconia for some time now - the full contour zirconia crown is just too opaque.
We heard of stories of high translucency zirconia being like e.max press or like a layered zirconia crown - We have tried them all or our US counterparts have. Line up all the brands of high translucency zirconia and with the naked eye they all have a similar property - they all look somewhat opaque - yes all the brands.
Like BruxZir states and sells More brawn than beauty
Well after utilizing the most translucent zirconia that is approved for use in Canada at over 1200 Mpa and a shading recipe with roots in Germany and perfected by a few friends in the US and Canada - we have finally started to zero in on that as Walter puts it `a zirconia crown that is alive'.
These pictures were from `our search' for best product as work to further refine this zirconia restoration recipe - we have about another month before the product release - we recently sent a few singles into Alberta and the feedback was - the best they have seen to date.
We just wanted to let you know we are working hard for you to produce a product will exceed your dentist partners expectations for full contour zirconia restorations in Canada. ` a benchmark'
This full contour zirconia crown (90 percent) will be released in less than 30 days for production $59.99 (design file) a unit and $99.99 (we design) plus 3D shade option $8.00 a unit
3D shade is a unique clinical recipe that includes techniques refined to provide three dimensional - shade properties, fluorescence and combines new shades far outside the scope of Vita Classic. Alot of work but we are almost there!
We will keep you posted on a launch date for this new 3D Full Contour Zirconia with all specs and clinical studies.
