Tools and Materials Supporting Handmade Craftsmanship
The dental laboratory is equipped with hardware and software systems selected for their innovation and high functionality. We use dental milling machines, Roland and IMES-ICORE milling machines for dentistry, and digital cameras.
We create virtual mock-ups (Digital Smile Design) and simulations using CAD-CAM systems to produce dental veneers, ceramic crowns, resin temporaries (real mock-ups), etc. We use high-quality, durable, and biocompatible materials such as zirconia (zirconium oxide), ceramic, lithium disilicate, and dental veneers.
We work with these metal-free materials to ensure long-lasting durability, high aesthetic impact, and safety for every type of dental restoration. Learn more about the Opaldent dental laboratory.
Our Philosophy in Dental Aesthetics
We are constantly striving for perfection in techniques and solutions to make your smile unique and suited to your individuality.
An unmistakable line on the face that, for each of us, is part of our unique being and makes life smile.
The research and collaboration with professionals who share the same philosophy have allowed us to achieve extraordinary results in originality and naturalness.
We work closely with professionals in reconstructive and restorative dentistry, which today allows us to restore a magnificent smile without invasive and painful medicine.
All admit irregularity as they imply change; and to banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality. All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed… Accept this then for a universal law, that [no] noble work of man can be good unless it be imperfect.”
No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf is perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.
All admit irregularity as they imply change; and to banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality.
All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections that have been divinely appointed, so that the law of human life may be Effort, and the law of human judgment, Mercy.”
