Milled chrome cobalt copings for Dental Wings!
Finally, we can talk about one of our latest projects!
After investing in the Dental Wings Scanning System we soon became very frustrated at the lack of a UK milling centre that could produce chrome copings for ceramic bonding. So, we decided to actively do something about it.
What we eventually found was an excellent team, who not only produced the best milled units of any company we had sent our test files to (Europe included) they also had the attitude we love.
Nothing is a problem for these guys, if there's an issue they rewrite their own software or even produce new a modified machine to give the results required.
They build their own 6 axis milling capability machines, every single element, which allows complete control over the final outcome. If something doesn't work for the specific item it was designed to make they redesign and rebuild it, and these are not small machines!
To see them in action reminds me of so many of the best laboratories I have visited and the great technicians I've met, true problem solvers, capable of approaching those problems from new angles and having the ability to do whatever it takes to get the perfect result.
Keeping this a secret has been very difficult, especially as it has taken so much of our time and effort, plus the team have been really excited about sharing the results.
Here are some images taken yesterday while we were running last minute tests at their workshop.
The technical team at the milling company are a fantastic group of very sharp problem solvers, who after working out the potential issues are ready to commit to a completely new milling centre, dedicated solely to dental products right here in the UK.
This means that we can now produce CAD/CAM frameworks right here in the UK with the Dental Wings system.
How does all this help you ?
Astra Atlantis:
This means that we can design the framework and have it in production before we have recieved the abutment from Atlantis!
Both abutment and coping or framework can the be received by the lab on the same day. No longer will there be any need to wait for the abutment to come back only to have to scan again and then design a framework, losing valuable time to work on the final case in the laboratory.
To begin with the service will be open to all users of the Dental Wings system who would like chrome cobalt PFM copings and frameworks.
Here are some examples of just how fantastic the milling quality is!
And, YES, these are straight off the machine!
If you would like more information on the service then please email:
info@ambridgeceramics.com or call us on 01765 607347 and ask for Mark or Steve
We will be scanning and milling live at the show!
Not only will this service be launching at the Dentistry Show, we'll also be milling cases while you are there!
If you would like to register your interest in PFM chrome copings produced from the Dental Wings Scanners then simply email us and we'll arrange a meeting at The Dentistry Show.
Or,
If you have single unit case in mind and you'd like to test the quality and fit, then why not bring it with you to the show and leave with coping milled on the day?
We can't wait to share this with you,
See you at The Dentistry show!

After investing in the Dental Wings Scanning System we soon became very frustrated at the lack of a UK milling centre that could produce chrome copings for ceramic bonding. So, we decided to actively do something about it.
After much internet searching and attending many engineering trade shows we found what we hoped would be the perfect milling partner, a partner that could produce what a modern dental laboratory needed.
What we eventually found was an excellent team, who not only produced the best milled units of any company we had sent our test files to (Europe included) they also had the attitude we love.

Hopefully, in the near future they will be willing to introduce other products to meet the requests of their client laboratories.
This means that we can now produce CAD/CAM frameworks right here in the UK with the Dental Wings system.
How does all this help you ?
Astra Atlantis:
As you will no doubt be aware, one of the major advantages of the Atlantis abutment and Dental Wings partnership is the ability to have an Atlantis Core file returned to us while the abutment is being milled.
This means that we can design the framework and have it in production before we have recieved the abutment from Atlantis!
Both abutment and coping or framework can the be received by the lab on the same day. No longer will there be any need to wait for the abutment to come back only to have to scan again and then design a framework, losing valuable time to work on the final case in the laboratory.

Or,
If you have single unit case in mind and you'd like to test the quality and fit, then why not bring it with you to the show and leave with coping milled on the day?
Just bring your prep to us at stand J45 and we'll scan and mill the coping while you are at the show.
We already know the quality is exceptional, but the best way to convey this is for you to see one produced live to fit on your prep at The Dentistry Show.
If you prefer, you can send us an STL file direct from your Dental Wings scanner, but we will have to create some parameters on your machine first. This is the part of the process that has taken some time to perfect.
We believe that this is a very exciting time for CADCAM in the UK and we're delighted to have helped make this new service a reality for Dental Wings users.

Astra Atlantis emergence profiles
We're back on the road again with Astra Tech and the Atlantis Live! roadshow 2011.
Something we are hearing from people is that Atlantis can't do 'fluted' emergence profiles?
But it can!
I think that where most of the problems come in is that the Atlantis system is treated as a hands off system by many new users, this is not the way to get the very best from the Atlantis system.
By Hands off I mean that many technicians are not checking the 2D design email, let alone opening the 3D viewer or Editor interface, and are instead completely trusting the whole design to a technician in the Atlantis production centre.
By doing so the technician misses the opportunity to have the kind of input that tailors the abutment designs to match their surgeons specific preferences, the very service that makes the relationship between surgeons and their technicians so important.
Astra Tech have provided a fantastic suite of viewer and editor tools to allow the technician to completely customise their abutment design.
We have complete control of exactly how the final Atlantis abutment will look, which is exactly the same as any other custom abutment we would make in the laboratory.
The trick is simply knowing how to use the tools properly.
If you look at the images below you will see how we have completely dictated the profile of the abutments emergence and just how much compensation we have made to the position of the abutment itself.
Astra Atlantis provide the very best CAD/CAM custom abutment solutions for multiple implant platforms that we have ever used!
To pick up the tips and tricks for getting the best out of Astra Atlantis, come and see us on the roadshow
