Digital Technology
At Western Crown & Bridge, we combine craftsmanship with cutting‐edge digital technologies to deliver highly accurate, comfortable, and predictable dental restorations. Our fully digital workflow enhances both the patient experience and the quality of results for dental professionals.
Digital dentistry allows us to design, plan, and manufacture restorations with remarkable precision, reducing turnaround times, improving fit, and ensuring consistently excellent outcomes.
Our digital workflow starts with an intraoral scan, eliminating the need for conventional impressions. We accept digital files from all major scanning platforms such as 3Shape, iTero, DS Core, Medit Link, Dexis, Shining 3D Dental Cloud, and DTX Studio Go and providing a seamless, efficient process for your practice.
What Digital Dentistry means for our patients and dental professional
For Patients
- More comfort
- Precise, natural-looking restorations
- Faster turnaround and fewer appointments
For Professionals
- Streamlined digital case management
- Reduced adjustments and chair time
- Access to advanced design and implant planning support
- High-quality, repeatable results
Faster, more accurate restorations: Digital workflows virtually eliminate human error. Your crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant restorations are designed using advanced software and milled using state‐of‐the‐art technology, ensuring superior fit, high durability, and natural aesthetics.
A more comfortable experience: Traditional impression trays can be messy and uncomfortable. With digital scanning, you simply relax while a small camera gently captures 3D images of your teeth — no gagging, no distortion, no discomfort.
Better communication: You can see your treatment plan on screen, understand the process, and feel confident about the final result before any work begins.
Precision, Predictability and Efficiency: Western Crown and Bridge supports clinicians with a fully integrated CAD/ CAM ecosystem from intraoral scanning to final milling, resulting in:
- Highly accurate restorations
- Reduced adjustments and remakes
- Smooth communication and digital case tracking
We accept all major digital scan formats, and our digital design team works closely with dental practices to ensure restorations meet both clinical and aesthetic expectations.
Our Digital Technologies
3Shape CAD Design
We utilize 3Shape’s world-leading design software for:
- Crown & bridge design
- Digital dentures
- Smile design
- Implant restorations
- Occlusal analysis
3Shape enables precise virtual modelling and guarantees that every case is tailor-made for optimal fit, function, and aesthetics.
3D Laboratory Scanners
Our advanced 3D scanning technology captures both traditional and highly detailed digital impressions, offering:
- Precise scanning of gypsum models or impressions
- Texture Scanning technology for high-detail detection, including accurate capture of hand‐drawn markings on models
- Comprehensive digital design capabilities for a wide range of indications, from crowns and bridges to implant abutments, bars, bridges, and removable partials
- Dynamic virtual articulation fully integrated into the digital workflow, connecting virtual design with real‐world functional movements
- 3Shape Communicate integration, enabling seamless case sharing, online viewing of 3D designs, and presentation of visualizations for patients
- Zero distortion, eliminating the inaccuracies associated with physical impressions
- Highly accurate reproduction of margins, contacts, and anatomical details
This ensures exceptional results and streamlines collaboration with dental practices.
Implant Studio – Digital Implant Planning
Implant Studio allows us to digitally plan implant treatment with:
- Predictable implant positioning
- Nerve mapping
- Bone analysis
- Surgical guide design
For clinicians, this means safer, more accurate implant placement. For patients, it means smoother surgeries and more predictable results.
Full In-House CAD/ CAM Manufacturing
Western Crown and Bridge houses a complete CAM/ CAM milling facility, using industrial-grade milling machines and advanced materials. Each crown and bridge is digitally designed for optimal fit, function, and aesthetics.
We produce:
- Zirconia crowns & bridges
- Emax restorations
- PMMA temporaries
- Implant components
- Dentures
- Splints & night guards
Digital Printed Dentures
Though we currently have a fully-fledged denture manufacturing department, we are also planning to introduce a Digital Printed System in near future including the milling machine with following capabilities:
- The milling machine can process a wide variety of materials in wet and dry operation and meets your most exacting requirements.
- Automatically switches between wet and dry modes without manual intervention.
- Equipped with a high-performance spindle, the 5-axis milling machine efficiently produces restorations that exhibit an outstanding surface quality and excellent accuracy of fit.
- Supports a broad range of materials including zirconia, PMMA, lithium disilicate, composites, wax, and metals.
- High‐power spindle enabling fast, precise milling even in hard materials.
