What does the dental laboratory mean for the patients of Polyclinic Smile?

sto digitalni dentalni laboratoriji znaci za pacijente

Our Smile Clinic includes a fully equipped, modern CAD-CAM dental lab, which allows patients to take an individual approach to solving dental problems. Thanks to constant education and training, our laboratory is managed by experienced dental technicians. With great care and precision, they ensure high-quality work and satisfied patients.

From the first contact with the patient to the end of the therapy, each team member devotes every moment to all possible solutions for individual dental problems. We listen to your wishes and always adapt to your time and financial possibilities. For all these reasons, it is more than ever a great advantage to be able to use our own dental laboratory within the clinic.

Our dental lab is equipped with the most modern technologies and systems, specialized in complex surgical interventions and complete functional-aesthetic rehabilitation. Through continuous teamwork, investments in digital infrastructure and continuous training of our experts, we can always offer you the best approach and solution to your dental problems.

Our laboratory technicians teach and train on the subject of implantology at national and international level. Thanks to the equipment and expertise of our laboratory, we can quickly create new teeth, completing small jobs in just 1-3 hours, larger ones in just 24 hours.

Another big advantage of our dental laboratory is the much faster and better cooperation between patient and team. Numerous small details can be corrected directly on site in cooperation with our top dental technicians. For you, this means safety and control of every therapy segment without having to go to other locations for the necessary imaging.

All in one place – High-quality diagnostics and dental lab

Smile Dental Clinic is also a Planmeca® reference center for Croatia. We take care of your health with the latest generation of Planmeca® 3D CT (CBCT) devices with extremely low radiation dose. Thanks to our Planmeca device, which provides high-quality and clear images of the jaw, making accurate diagnoses has never been easier.

Within our clinic we have the most modern technology on the market, such as CBCT – 3D imaging – the most detailed and precise imaging, on the basis of which we create a detailed therapy plan. The ability to create a prototype of the finished work is now a must-be for any reputable dental clinic focused on high-quality implant placement.

Before starting the installation of dental implants, it is necessary to do a CT scan of your jaw and perform all the necessary preoperative procedures so that the implant installation goes smoothly. The available technology contributes significantly to the success of the implantation. The use of minimally invasive methods accelerates the recovery process itself.

For the production of crowns and bridges, the dental laboratory of the Smile Polyclinic most often uses the metal-free oxide ceramic zirconium oxide. Our dental laboratory has two high-quality devices for milling Cad-Cam material: an Ivoclar Programill PM7 and a Wieland device. We also use a Straumann P40 printer.

We use material from the world-renowned companies Ivoclar Vivadent from Liechtenstein and DeguDent Dentsply Sirona from Germany, which build on many years of tests and studies on their materials.

During the first examination, the current patient situation is recorded with the help of a modern Trio 3Shape intraoral scanner and the patient is photographed for therapy purposes. A special impression is taken of the ground teeth with an intraoral camera (scanner), which contains hundreds of small photos and combines them into one image using software.

The procedure is much more comfortable and faster than classic impressions with silicone materials. Temporary teeth are digitally fabricated from PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), a material hard enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of the buccal cavity. The possibility of choosing a colour also fulfils the important criterion of aesthetics.
