Zirconia has become the material of choice for modern dental restorations, combining strength, biocompatibility, and aesthetics to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results. Whether you’re fabricating crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations, selecting the right zirconia blocks or pucks for your milling machine is essential for achieving precision and quality.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Annual Session is the must-attend event for orthodontic professionals, showcasing the latest innovations and technologies set to transform the industry. The AAO 2025 is set to take place at the Philadelphia Convention Center, hosted Friday April 25-Sunday April 27, 2025.

Traditional orthodontic wire bending relies heavily on the clinician’s manual dexterity and expertise. Using tools like pliers, orthodontists shape archwires and appliances to guide teeth into proper alignment.

Whether you’re a seasoned implantologist or an expanding dental practice, investing in photogrammetry technology will elevate your treatment outcomes and streamline your workflow, ensuring your patients receive the best care possible.

Staining and glazing are essential steps in creating lifelike, esthetic dental crowns that blend seamlessly with a patient’s natural dentition. These finishing techniques enhance the crown's color, translucency, and surface texture, ensuring both durability and esthetics.

Many orthodontic & GP practices are turning to in-office 3D printing to streamline workflows and reduce turnaround times on their patient's appliances. But, the next wave of the future happening right now: direct-print aligners (also known as same-day aligners). 

Many say: becoming a dentist means becoming a lifelong learner. As methodologies and technologies in the dental world are ever-evolving, it's important to stay at the cusp with annual CE learning and training to remain competitive in your local market. 

As we head into 2025, the field of dentistry is poised for remarkable innovations that will reshape patient care, enhance clinical precision, and improve workflow efficiencies. From advanced imaging to AI-powered diagnostics, new dental technologies are streamlining processes, creating new treatment possibilities, and driving patient satisfaction.

So you're thinking about making the investment in advanced dental equipment—such as CBCT, 3D printers, intraoral scanners, milling machines, photogrammetry units, wire bending robots, and other cutting-edge tools? Making the investment in new technologies can be a stepping stone for your practice, but it also can be a significant financial commitment for any dental practice.
