Any Lab Can Get Involved With No Capital Investment

More and more doctors are relying on advanced digital impressions to ensure patient comfort and increase the quality and efficiency of their dental practices. Now you can help them achieve their goals with no capital investment and begin to realize the powerful benefits to labs. You can confidently outsource digital impressions to an authorized lab, and the lab marking the margin will not be able to see the doctor or patient name. You will receive an SLA model to finish the restoration. This entire process—which is easy to participate in—allows you to maintain and strengthen your relationships with your doctors.

Accurate Impressions Can Dramatically Reduce Remakes

Traditional point-and-click digital technology has been around for more than 20 years. However, the Lava C.O.S. is the only system on the market that has elevated the process from merely taking pictures to capturing video. Using 3D-in-Motion technology, the Lava C.O.S. captures continuous 3D video images that create highly accurate digital impressions. Now a doctor can accurately assess the preparation and margin before sending it to the lab and the lab can use the same video images to confidently mark the margin. The result: labs are able to reduce remake rates due to marginal fit to an average of 0.5%, more than 80% below the industry average.
