We established our own dental clinic in Japan in 2001.
Since 2006, we have also operated an in-house dental laboratory within the clinic, allowing our doctors and dental technicians to work closely together.
This close collaboration is essential for effective communication and for producing customized treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
Could you tell us the advantages of dental CAD/CAM over the analogue system?
The CAD/CAM system can handle most types of restorations, and we’ve found that it delivers particularly superior results for composite resin crowns under the National Healthcare Insurance.
Additionally, digital methods significantly enhance our productivity.
How long have you been using DGSHAPE products?
We have been using the DWX-50 since 2010. Initially, we considered installing a milling machine capable of milling “Trinia”(fiber-reinforced composite resin) because we were focused on de-metallization and were particularly interested in this material.
Ultimately, we chose the DWX 5-axis because we were highly attracted to its ability to mill both hybrid resin and zirconia.
Do you have next goal with DGSHAPE product?
We are exploring ways to improve the productivity of temporary crowns and bridges in our in-clinic lab using an intraoral scanner (IOS). After scanning, we can immediately begin production without creating a physical model. The precise milling results in a high-quality surface, making the polishing and adjustment process much easier.
As a result, we can reduce our chair time.
