That means receiving a restoration that checks all the right boxes—excellent esthetics that blend in perfectly with the patient’s dentition; a great fit that requires little to no adjustments, and of course a restoration that will give the patient years and years of uninterrupted functionality in the mouth.   

And what do lab owners and technicians look for when choosing the tools needed to produce such exemplary restorations? The same as the dentist: consistency and predictability. That is, a family of products that produces restorations with results they can count on every time, with no troublesome “workarounds” or surprises along the way. For that kind of confidence and assurance of expected outcomes, it’s best to work with a suite of restoration fabrication tools, technologies, and materials from the same manufacturer.

The benefits and advantages of doing so are plentiful:

Guaranteed compatibility—products developed by the same manufacturer, such as Dentsply Sirona, are inherently and purposefully designed to “play nice” with one another. Meaning the hardware and software seamlessly integrates and communicates with each other during each step in the digitally assisted restoration fabrication process. 

Optimized efficiencies—Dentsply Sirona lab systems and technologies, such as the inEos Scanner, MC X5 milling unit, SpeedFire furnace and Cercon family of materials, are each designed to ensure the most streamlined, productive, and efficient workflow, reducing steps and resulting in faster production times.

A single point of contact for service and support—just as Dentsply Sirona products work better together, one point of contact for service makes troubleshooting and technical support work better for everyone in the dental lab. In addition manufacturer support, there’s also a level of peer-to-peer support amongst Dentsply Sirona enthusiasts that you simply don’t get with other dental manufacturers. It’s a unified community of lab owners and technicians that have a passion for what they do, and they love to share their knowledge and experience with others.

All told, dental labs that appreciate the confidence that goes along with consistent, predictable, and reproducible restorative outcomes also appreciate keeping their lab tools, technologies, and materials “all in the family”—the Dentsply Sirona family!
