Transformational dentistry. At half the cost.
Innovation and technology have the power to change.
Whether it is in medicine or dentistry we have seen materials, treatments and possibilities change for the better as technology has greater impact.
At The Courtyard, practice owner Marcos White has always been at the forefront of innovation. He lectures widely on the topic of digital dentistry and is always pushing new boundaries for the impact it can have on patient care.
Intra oral scanning increases accuracy. This decreases errors and decreases time.
3D printing reduces lab costs to the dentist and this can be passed on to the patient.
When combined these can lead to to a dramatic reduction in costs to the patient, if the practice and dentist choose to do so. We at The Courtyard have made this choice.
It is important to note that the reduced costs are not a like for like product. But they aim to deliver essentially the same outcome.
In terms of 3D printed veneers they deliver uniform and controlled aesthetics in a naturally translucent material that replicates natural enamel.
The veneers can be printed in under 10 minutes in practice meaning lower initial costs and the ability to future proof longevity, because any fractures can be reproduced with speed and ease.
In implant dentistry we have used 3D printed materials for years to deliver temporary versions of our crowns, bridges or full arches. As the materials continue to develop and evolve, their strength and durability has increased exponentially.
We are now at a point when we can ask the question as to whether 3D print can be the final material for implants.
In the knowledge that 3D print resins will continue to evolve and can be re printed with ease we feel we are able to offer these products at a mid level price point to our patients.
This comes with an understanding from the patient of a reduced warranty period of 2 years vs 5 years but that costs for repair will be sensible and reasonable, and the opportunity to 'upgrade' to zicroni will also be at a fair and reasonable price should it be needed.
We want to offer high quality solutions to patients in the UK to avoid patients making choices around international travel for dentistry which leaves them lacking long term support and care.
We are passionate about the potential for 3D printing to change the face of dentistry both for our patients and the profession as a whole.
All we need is for patients to be as open to innovation and technology, and to trust that we always have their best interests at heart.
