Meet Adrian Shaw, our Assistant Lab Manager and QA Technician 👋

Adrian has been a Watersedge team member since we first opened our doors in 2013! 🏢

He evaluates every finished case before it leaves the lab, ensuring each piece meets both our standards and our partners' expectations.

He also works directly with clinicians on challenging cases to determine the best restorative plan for each patient. 🦷

What makes Watersedge special to Adrian? "It's a family business and the staff here feels like one big extended family. I love how my days fly by and how well everyone gets along."

Outside the lab, Adrian enjoys spending time outdoors with his family by playing soccer in the park or biking along the river.

His go-to meal is chicken Pad Thai (extra spicy!) and his favourite movie is Fight Club. 🥊

We're so grateful to have you on our team, Adrian!

Essential Reading: Open Tray vs. Closed Tray Impressions 📚

Choosing between open tray and closed tray impression techniques? Your decision can make all the difference in complex implant cases. 🦷

Here's a quick guide:

Digital Scanning is best for:
✅ Limited-span implant fixed restorations
✅ Half an arch or no more than 3 implants

Closed Tray is best for:
✅ Straightforward cases
✅ Easily accessible, properly aligned implants

Open Tray is best for:
✅ Challenging angulations
✅ Difficult positions
✅ Multiple implants with varying orientations

From determining which technique fits your case to understanding impression copings and materials, our comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.

Whether you're new to implant work or looking to refine your technique, this is your go-to resource: https://www.watersedgedentallab.com/blog/open-tray-vs-closed-tray-impressions/

We love hearing from our partners and patients! ⭐

Thank you for sharing this kind feedback:
"I had wonderful great service from Sean and Morgan! They were great at taking care of my immediate need and I'd highly recommend them and the lab!"

Meet Shawn Parisien, our Lab Manager 👋

Shawn has been part of the Watersedge family for over 10 years. In his role, he oversees all staff and maintains the positive work environment that helps our team thrive.

He ensures quality and consistency across everything we produce, drives efficiency and productivity, and works directly with clinicians on complex cases. 🔍

What makes Watersedge special? Shawn puts it best: "The positive work environment and true care for the staff is a huge aspect that makes Watersedge a special place. We work hard but laugh while doing it.”

Outside the lab, Shawn is an avid rock climber (indoor and outdoor!) and has even taken up ice climbing and is working toward mountaineering. 🧗

He enjoys the trails near his home with his wife Anna and their dog Petzl. When it comes to food, nothing beats his wife's homemade pizzas. 🍕

Did you know that Watersedge is one of the few remaining privately Canadian-owned, medium-sized dental labs in Ontario? Shawn takes great pride in being a part of this legacy.

Thank you for everything you do, Shawn. We're so lucky to have you leading our team!

Imetric: Partner Spotlight🤝

We're proud to partner with Imetric, the creators of the ICam: the industry's only true four-camera photogrammetry system 📷

Imetric was born out of the recognition that existing methods weren't delivering the accuracy needed for complex full-arch cases.

What sets ICam apart?
✅ Four moving cameras (vs. two-camera systems)
✅ Accuracy under 5 microns, independent of operator
✅ Individually calibrated titanium scanbodies
✅ 24-hour live support from experienced professionals
✅ Over 1 million cases with zero failures

That's the kind of reliability that gives us (and you) peace of mind when tackling even the most complex restorations.

Photogrammetry Service Announcement 📸

We're proud to be the first dental lab in Ottawa to integrate photogrammetry into our fully coordinated CAD-CAM and full-arch production workflow. 🦷

This advanced imaging technology captures implant positions with micron-level precision, independent of soft tissue distortion, scanner drift, or operator variability.

Beyond higher patient satisfaction, here are the benefits you can expect:
➡️ Fewer verification appointments per full arch case
➡️ Less chairside adjustment at delivery
➡️ More predictable scheduling
➡️ Reduced back-and-forth late in treatment
➡️ Better use of clinical and staff time

For complex full-arch cases, photogrammetry gives us (and you) the confidence of knowing every detail has been captured with incredible accuracy. 🎯

Interested in learning how this technology can benefit your practice? Reach out to our team. We'd love to walk you through the process!
