Save for treatment planning 😎

Zirconia for everyday cases? 4Y sits between 3Y and 5Y.

More translucent than 3Y and tougher than 5Y, making it a dependable choice for premolars, anterior crowns, and short-span bridges.

Tell us the clinical goal up front (material, cementation plan, available prep/space, and shade + photos) and we’ll match the fabrication to that intent on the first try.

A clean, well-coordinated collaboration with Dr. Michael Kase and his team, together with KLS Martin Group, on the preprosthetic subperiosteal work, and our techs at Oral Arts on the prototype prosthetic.

Dr. Abdullah AlBaghli handled the pickup, and the teams at UAB’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, UAB’s Prosthodontics, and the UAB Oral Surgery Residents are taking it forward into the surgical phase.

It’s always rewarding to see teamwork like this come together so smoothly every step aligning for success.

Artificial intelligence is making its way into nearly every corner of dentistry including how insurance claims are processed.

AI-driven claim systems can speed up approvals and reduce administrative workload, but they also raise important questions about fairness, accuracy, and oversight.

As AI continues to shape the dental landscape, one guiding principle remains clear: technology should support care, not override it.

Our 3D printed surgical guides use your patient’s CT scan imported into Implant Studio to position each implant with consideration for bone structure, function, and esthetics.

Once the plan is approved, guides are printed using Stratasys technology for accuracy and fit. Suitable for both edentulous and dentate cases, each guide is produced to support precise placement and long-term restorative outcomes.

• Accurate: Implant placement designed for precision
• Fast: 5-day turnaround after treatment plan approval
• Consistent: Fixed pricing regardless of implant count

Our goal is to provide dependable support that allows you to plan and execute implant cases with confidence.

A scan is only as useful as the interpretation behind it. A design is only as strong as the context shared with the ceramist.

When both sides operate within a consistent framework, defined by clear photographic documentation, digital data integrity, and timely feedback, the process becomes measurable instead of variable. The goal is not speed, but reliability.

Cases that reach the highest level of esthetics and function typically share one trait: uninterrupted communication. Every touchpoint matters, from the first diagnostic file to the moment of delivery.

“A warm base always gives you more control in the glaze room. You can build depth with stain, but you can’t take gray out once it’s baked in.”

— Stain & Glaze Team Lead

The color you start with influences everything that follows. When both the prep and the lab work from a warm foundation, you preserve flexibility to reach the desired final shade together.

Even when prep design is right and materials are on point, a dark or uneven stump can shift the final value and make matching across units a real challenge.

A thin veneer beside a thicker one will never read the same if the underlying color isn’t consistent.

When we know exactly what’s beneath the surface, we can plan the build-up with precision instead of adjusting by guesswork. That simple step often makes the difference between a “close match” and a seamless one.

Curious how you handle tricky stump shades. Any go-to methods or setups you swear by?

👉 How do you approach shade variation when you’re planning veneer cases?

Shade differences across multiple preps can make veneer cases unpredictable. In this case with Dr. Mark McOmie, units 6 through 11 presented varied stump shades that required precise control over optical consistency and value.

Our Select Department used LiSi Press Veneers within a model-less digital workflow, designed for accuracy and strength while maintaining natural light transmission through the lithium disilicate structure.

With 508 MPa flexural strength and a fine microcrystalline matrix, LiSi Press allows predictable shade matching and reduced wear on opposing dentition.

Cases like this highlight how communication, digital precision, and material selection work together to achieve consistent esthetics across complex substrates.

Owning your practice means owning your potential. It gives you the autonomy to:

• Invest in the right technologies (from 3D printing to CBCT)
• Build and retain a strong, motivated team
• Shape patient experiences that drive referrals and case acceptance

While DSO models offer predictability, ownership continues to be the most direct path to financial growth and long-term freedom. The data shows that practice owners earn significantly more, not by working longer hours, but by building smarter systems that work for them.

In today’s landscape, the dentists leading in earnings are the ones leading their own operations.
