Our New Toy

Is the technology in your dental office up to date? Or are you stuck in the vacu-form dark ages?

 

We were, but no more! Our office now has a Drufomat scan-a high quality thermoforming unit. It features material recognition software with a built-in scanner that programs material related parameters such as the product name, strength, heating and cooling down times-automatically!

You no longer have to stand there waiting for your "bubble" to melt, so you can pull it down over your model and hope that there are no creases in the material after it is vacu-formed.  The Drufomat scan does practically all the work for you. Simply trim your model, spray with silicone spray to make the tray easier to remove, load and scan your material-the machine does the rest.  The Drufomat requires less time to fabricate appliances than other methods and produces a predictable outcome.  It's accuracy saves material cost and eliminates the lab fee.  

There is some trimming and polishing that will need done when your appliance is moved from the machine, but it is minimal. The result is lab quality whitening trays, essix retainers, night guards and sports guards just to name a few.

We love their polishing brushes with Scotch-Brite material
