We’re proud to conclude the ALS Kindness Campaign spotlight, running across our laboratories for World Kindness Day 2025.

🔶 Today’s focus:
Compassion – “Pause, assume positive intent, respond with humanity.”

In our labs, compassion means taking a moment before reacting, recognising the pressures colleagues and clinicians may be under, and choosing actions that support the person as well as the task, whether that’s a considerate handover, a calm call to a practice, or kind, constructive feedback.

As part of the campaign, ALS will be donating to Crisis, helping support people experiencing homelessness through the winter period.

We’d love to hear from you: what does compassion at work look like in your practice or lab?

World Kindness Day! We’re proud to continue the ALS Kindness Campaign for today's World Kindness Day!

🔶 Today’s focus:
Thoughtfulness – “Prepare ahead, give context, remove friction.”

In our labs, thoughtfulness means planning ahead (clear prescriptions, shade info and scans), giving concise context (photos and clinical notes), and removing friction (flagging turnaround times, organising kits, scheduling couriers) so colleagues, clinicians and patients get a smoother experience.

We’d love to hear from you: what does thoughtfulness look like in your practice or lab?

We’re proud to continue the ALS Kindness Campaign, running across our laboratories in the lead-up to World Kindness Day on 13 November 2025.

🔶 Today’s focus: Helping – “Step in when the workload increases.”
In our labs, helping means stepping in during busy periods so colleagues can finish on time, offering support when cases stack up, and sharing tasks to keep things running smoothly for clinicians and patients.

As part of the campaign, ALS will be donating to Crisis, helping support people experiencing homelessness through the winter period.

We’d love to hear from you: what does helping at work look like in your practice or lab?

🔶 Today’s focus: Care – “Notice, check in, follow up.”

In our labs, care means noticing when something seems different, checking in kindly, and following up so people feel genuinely supported – whether that’s a colleague under pressure, a clinician facing a complex case or a patient who needs a little extra reassurance.

We’d love to hear from you: what does care at work look like in your practice or lab?

We’re proud to launch the ALS Kindness Campaign, running across our laboratories in the lead-up to World Kindness Day on 13 November 2025.

Over the week, we’ll be spotlighting five everyday habits that make a real difference for our teams, clinicians, and patients

🔶 Today’s focus: Empathy
“Seek to understand before you respond.”
In our labs, empathy means listening carefully, taking time to understand the context, and shaping our support around what people really need.

As part of the campaign, ALS will be donating to Crisis, helping support people experiencing homelessness through the winter period.

We’d love to hear from you: what does empathy at work look like in your practice or lab?

Go Digital: Photogrammetry vs Traditional Impressions

Traditional implant impressions are still widely used — but they’re messy and technique-sensitive. Every small inaccuracy can mean a remake, extra fittings, and more chair time.

Photogrammetry changes that.

🔸 Capture true 3D positions – accurate data, not a distorted analogue impression
🔸 Reduce remakes and chair time – better data in → better fit out
🔸 Labs get reliable files – technicians can design confidently without guessing or patching scans
🔸 Better patient experience – no mess, no retakes, quick process

Why the Shining 3D Aoralscan Elite?
Because it brings full-arch, implant-focused digital capture into one streamlined workflow — ideal for practices moving from analogue to predictable digital full-arch restorations.
