For a modest fee upgrade to our Priority 24-hour service and give your patients quicker treatment completion than any other practice in your area. How can we deliver such high quality in such a short time at this price whilst still manufacturing in the UK? By automating part of the manufacturing process and hand finishing by our team of Master Technicians. The unsurpassed quality of marginal fit we deliver is achieved using laser scanning and high-tech CAD-CAM mass-manufacturing technology. With this level of accuracy you can be confident your restoration will fit perfectly first time, every time saving you significant effort and freeing you up to focus on the clinical rather than the technical. By manufacturing on site and using our express door-to-door couriers we can turn around lab work in an unprecedented time frame, but we know the only way to get a truly natural result is from within, which is why we use multi-layered hand build up and don't use surface staining for primary characterisation. Contact one of our team (quoting your Denplan & GDC registration numbers) for more information on this innovative, highly competitive and exclusive offer to Denplan clinicians, and take your practice and patients to the next level in restorative dentistry. 7 Aug 2006 17:48:18 GMT https://attenborough.com/uk/about/news.asp#August2006 1E518543-3672-4A2D-A06F-E85B74F38F31 We win the prestigious NTI Emerging Technologies Award for the results of our revolutionary Daedalus Project which merges computed patient tomography and laser scan data to give a composite 3-dimensional image which we use to design and manufacture a new smile for patients in under 2 hours using rapid prototyping and the latest CAD-CAM technology.

The project uses bespoke CAD to model and design a new smile for the patient, before exporting to 3 separate CAM manufacturing processes, which we have developed and applied as follows: 1. Subtractive milling of solid titanium 2. Investment casting of photopolymer models 3. Investment casting of wax jet models The resultant frameworks are then hand-veneered with special ceramics to give a premier private quality yet cost-effective restoration.

This brand new technology uses plasma rather than a laser beam to weld titanium/titanium, non-precious/non-precious alloy, non-precious/precious alloy and precious/precious alloy. Plasma welding delivers a laser welding capability with an ca. 70% lower initial investment and very low maintenance costs (no high cost laser diode to replace after a finite number of hours operation). Plasma technology achieves a weld using the mother material (usually in wire form) rather than solder, giving a high stability and flexural strength homogeneous join, thus saving working time, especially when carrying out repairs. We have been appointed exclusive agents for this technology in the UK - please call one of our team for more information or to arrange a demonstration. 8 Jan 2005 17:43:53 GMT https://attenborough.com/uk/about/news.asp#January2005-3 C325AD01-4635-4191-9DEA-078EA327504F All our workstations have been re-equipped with top of the range Kavo variable speed knee control handpiece motors, in compliment to our recent investment in bench motors.
