Sirona inLab laboratories will now have the ability to mill the custom abutment and immediatly mill an all-ceramic material (such as e.max) to finish the restoration all in one shot.

Welcome to the Precision Dental Arts Blog!  We are a cutting edge dental laboratory located in Tigard, Oregon that specializes in all-ceramic milled restorations and digital dentistry.  We have been milling all-ceramic material on our Sirona inLab system for over 5 years and recently dove into digital dentistry with CEREC Connect.  As advocates for Sirona we have been around the country telling our story and listening to the stories of others.  As we traveled we learned that there isn't very much information available to those Dentists and Dental Labs that are leading this shift to digital dentistry, it is kind of like a trial and error process for those of us on the cutting edge.  Thus, we decided to start this blog to open up the lines of communication between those cutting edge Dentists and Dental Labs around the country to better ourselves and those that follow this blog.

We will be updating this blog with:

• How to's
• Tips, hints, and shortcuts
• Our experiences
• Your experiences
• Breaking News on new products and materials
• and more!

This Blog is meant to be interactive, meaning we hope you can add to these discussions, share your experinces (good or bad), comment on materials, etc...
We want this blog to be a place where you can come to get answers and share answers. 

• When you have a question you need answered, you simply email  this blog at blog@precisiondentalarts-online.com and I will post your question on the blog for others to see and respond to!
