In-house milling and photogrammetry

Advanced CAD/CAM workflows, photogrammetry and in-house milling bridge the gap between digital treatment planning and the physical restoration.

Platforms

Zirkonzahn, Roland and Aidite

Running multiple milling platforms lets us match each restoration to the right machine and material — and keeps production moving. [Add machine models & photos]

Photogrammetry has long been the benchmark for digital implant position capture — the foundation for a passive-fitting full-arch prosthesis. PIC and iMetric are available for your cases at your request.

Roland

Roland dental mills are a lab staple for reliable, repeatable milling. We use them for crowns, bridges and provisional restorations. Milling · Japan.

  • Crowns, bridges and provisionals
  • PMMA [confirm]

PIC

Stereo-photogrammetry capture of implant positions for full-arch cases.

  • PIC camera system
  • Available for your cases at your request
  • Merged with intraoral scans for design

CAD design

Restorations are designed in CAD and shared for your approval before anything is milled.

  • Design software: [e.g. exocad / 3Shape]
  • Design approval before milling
  • Every restoration is inspected before it leaves the lab

Materials

Materials we work with

[Confirm this list — it's a starting point based on common AOX and crown & bridge work]

  • High-translucency zirconia
  • Multilayer zirconia
  • PMMA (provisionals / prototypes)
  • Titanium (bars / bases)
  • Implant components from major systems

The ProTec advantage

What the workflow is built around

In-house milling

Zirkonzahn, Roland and Aidite, so the platform can match the material.

Approval before milling

We share the digital design for your approval before anything is milled.

Photogrammetry on request

PIC and iMetric cameras can be facilitated for your cases.

All major implant systems

We work with all major implant companies and their components. [confirm component policy]

Digital or analogue

Send scans and photos digitally, or physical impressions if you prefer.

Checked before it leaves

Hand-finished, characterised and quality-checked. Turnaround times: [add per restoration type]
