The advantage of using pourable acrylics is the superior fit and the comfortable dentures. All our partial dentures are sent back to the dentist, accurately fitting duplicate models to make fitting an easy and quick process. We use vast array of teeth moulds that range from economy, which have a base shade and enamel layer, through to premium quality teeth that are multi-layered acrylic to replicate the reflection of light that best matches natural dentition. The gum work, which is often forgotten about, can be characterised with wax carving of the gingival bulge, peripheral roll, and stippling by the artistry of our technicians. The use of Merz acrylic crystals in Gum paternation enables us to create the ultimate ‘True to Life’ denture. We are also proud to offer myerson Duraflex Flexible Partial dentures. These provide a natural look and comfortable fit. They are lightweight and stain resistant.

Restorations fabricated from the pre-sintered zirconia blanks have a particularly high flexural strength of up to 1200 MPa (3-point bending strength) and can be processed without any problems thanks to their optimum edge stability. With an opacity value of approx. 70% ZI is ideal for indications in which discoloured tooth preparations or metal frameworks must be masked, as well as for the fabrication of support structures for fixed and removable prosthetic restorations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633094993347-IB1EMQNIEPDKWHKCQJ5S/AdobeStock_117241732.jpeg Crown and Bridge - Zolid FX Multilayer Zolid FX Multilayer is a polychromatic, super high translucent zirconia with an integrated shade and translucency gradient.

It is mainly used for the fabrication of crowns and veneers in the anterior region. The crown/veneer is designed using our CAD/CAM software. E.max is very tough and durable. E-max based restorations are becoming very popular in cosmetic dentistry due to their excellent aesthetics, durability, and strength. E-max is also the ideal choice for short-span bridges in the anterior region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633095870344-4IZK0FTD1P254MJVW1D6/AdobeStock_208366831.jpeg Crown and Bridge - Metal Crowns Metal crowns offer a solution for strength, longevity, large span bridgework and many implant related cases. Metal / gold crowns & bridges are a good choice for teeth in the posterior region which require less tooth structure to be removed. Metal crowns can withstand high masticatory forces during chewing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633095845014-ONOTRYEBZQIQPDCDK1L3/AdobeStock_121700920.jpeg Crown and Bridge - Porcelain bonded crowns/bridges Porcelain Bonded Crowns are used for single unit cases to full arch bridge cases and is a cost effective alternative to all ceramic solutions. It is a process commonly used in restorative cases that involve implants. All porcelain bonded crowns have a metal substructure with layered ceramic of Noritake porcelain. The metal substructure can be made with either non precious, semi precious or precious alloys which is then layered to our Noritake ceramic to provide functional and aesthetically pleasing restorations that last. https://www.colligandental.com/bleaching-trays-and-stents daily 0.75 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633334593675-CBWD8D2W01FJ5UQOXL8J/AdobeStock_73420077.jpeg Bleaching trays and Stents - Whitening trays Our whitening trays are made from a 1.5 mm Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) based material. The material is comfortable, flexible with enough rigidity to allow for many sessions of tooth whitening. Buccal reservoirs are commonly needed when the gingival areas are scalloped, which can provide a tight seal gingivally to limit the amount and gel activation. Utilising buccal reservoirs and scalloped gingival areas can give a better overall shade transition from the incisal edge to the necks of the teeth. All of our appliances are pressure formed this ensures every appliance is fitting accurately with precise gingival, fissure and tooth adaptation that is retentive and functional . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/b8b76f4f-1111-4011-8d6a-bbb565f68f00/thumbnail_IMG_3623-2.jpg Bleaching trays and Stents - Bite raising appliances Bite raising appliances are similar to a sports mouth guard and is worn mainly at night. It can help by supporting the joint and surrounding muscles, replace missing teeth to balance the bite or replace worn out dentures. Night guards are made from a 3mm Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) based material and is a commonly used appliance to help with bruxists from grinding their teeth during the night and also is used to prevent breakages to crowns, bridges or teeth. The material is comfortable, flexible with a degree of rigidity and displays excellent energy absorbing properties which makes it ideal for night time wear. We pride ourselves on our guards fitting accurately with precise gingival, fissure and tooth adaptation that is retentive and functional . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/e75cdf99-c160-4ee6-8087-1c7f45887822/AdobeStock_209233345.jpeg Bleaching trays and Stents - Essix retainers Essix Retainers do their job by guiding and maintaining your teeths position and the alignment of your bite. Even after braces adjust your teeth' position, forces incurred during chewing and other normal activities can shift them back out of place. Essix retainers are removable and made of clear materials that offer an “invisible” look. They’re constructed entirely of transparent plastic with no metal wires and are removable for meals and brushing. https://www.colligandental.com/chromes daily 0.75 2021-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633338471196-85JXWGAXHX1Y2SAYI0G5/AdobeStock_216393550.jpeg Chromes - Chrome dentures. We offer a chrome denture service here at Colligan Dental Lab. Chrome dentures are usually partial dentures or single tooth dentures that have a metal framework that supports false teeth. Depending on the shape of the denture, metal can be used to make both the clasps and the palate. In a chrome denture the clasps are commonly made from cobalt chrome. This means that the palate and the clasps can be cast together, adding to the strength and durability. Cobalt chrome is a medically approved, light alloy metal. It is the strongest and most durable metal that can be used to make a denture that doesn't irritate the gums and mouth. However, they are not suitable for patients with metal allergies. https://www.colligandental.com/shade-and-consultations daily 0.75 2021-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633425443117-ED88IU9P51EPV7E7V4DB/thumbnail_image3.jpg Shade and Consultations - Diagnostic Wax Ups Here at Colligan Dental Lab we provide diagnostic wax ups.

Noritake is superior to other dental porcelains because its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) remains stable during repeated bakings. When making a long span bridge, each unit may be precisely customized with repeated baking of the entire span with minimal risk of cracking. It is compatible with precious, semi-precious, non-precious and silver free alloys for metal-ceramic protheses. This combination of features makes Noritake Super Porcelain an ideal choice for porcelain restorations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6148932045a9785442dad217/1633332097994-EWDAK3GT8HSMGZRQOW2C/Emax+ceram.jpg Ceramics - IPS e.max ceram IPS e.max Ceram is suitable for efficient standard layering as well as for demanding high-end layering with lifelike qualities.
