Digital Dentistry
Digital Competence

Digital technologies are increasingly influencing the production of dental prostheses. Thinking in these digital workflow scenarios is the maxim of my consultation. Benefit from the flexible use of professional creativity and knowledge-intensive expertise. For me, digital dentistry is more than just a buzzword. My aim is to realize integrated, efficient digital process chains.

Overview of Services:

Comprehensive Support

Digital transformation means that dental practices, dental labs and the dental industry must develop new concepts and strategies in technology, integration, infrastructure and marketing.

Technology

What is needed? Who can program it? Where are the synergies? What possibilities are there to use already available market components?
Integration

In the future, the success of practices/labs will significantly depend on the smooth integration of digital processes.
Infrastructure

Digitalization means new opportunities in collaboration between dental practices, labs, the dental industry and manufacturing service providers.
Marketing

I create forms of customer communication.

Digital transformation is the future topic in many industrial sectors. In dentistry, this transformation will mean a change in the entire workflow for the production of dental prostheses. This not only affects internal processes but also interdisciplinary collaboration and the manufacturing chain.

The Prosthesis from the Machine

This field of dental CAD/CAM technology was more wishful thinking than reality until now. Now, some companies have presented coherent concepts that the authors have examined more closely and compared in this article.

Everything from Nothing – 3D Printing in the Dental Field

The term 3D printing has come into the focus of dental technology. Everything seems to emerge as if from nowhere, without the limitations of milling technology. The application area appears limitless. Through the additive process, three-dimensional bodies can be produced that are only possible with considerable effort or not at all with traditional subtractive manufacturing. But is it really so?
