Most Dentist clients would probably agree
when asked, that the most common reasons for changing dental
laboratories include the following:
- The laboratory didn’t deliver
the case on time…
- The laboratory didn’t read
or completely follow the prescription
- The lab wasn’t consistent in
delivering the quality restorations
- The laboratory failed to communicate
effectively
While there certainly may be other important and noteworthy
reasons for severing a relationship, most people would agree
that the aforementioned failures are a product of the last
failure listed. The lack of communication!
In the age of self-help infomercials, ‘books
on tape,’ Franklin-Covey ‘Time Management’
seminars and Tony Robbins’ ‘motivational’
presentations, it remains a mystery why there are so many
ineffective and dysfunctional interpersonal and business relationships.
Why are there so few effective "One-Minute Managers?"
We submit that while many individuals and businesses may profess
to subscribe and/or practice these time-honored principles,
most lack the commitment, self discipline and intestinal fortitude
to make the commitment to honest, win/win ‘customer
service’ and the ‘pursuit of a more excellent
way.’
One instrument which progressive laboratories
have incorporated into their armamentarium to improve communication
and increase the probability of attaining a predictable, esthetic
result is the Authentic® low-fusing Pressable Ceramic
system. Authentic® is a practical, methodical system which
affords the Dentist and the Laboratory the ability to simply
& effectively communicate hue (basic tooth color/shade,)
chroma (color saturation) and value (brightness.)
Authentic® provides
58 different fluorescent ingot (pressable pellet) choices
in four opacity levels ranging from 20% to 70% opacity.
With each increase in ingot opacity, additional fluorescence
is added to increase vitality-this exclusive optical property
precisely emulates the natural dentition in all lighting sources.
This extensive assortment of both ingot shades and opacity
levels, facilitates customized material selection specific
to the clinical challenges and esthetic requirements unique
to each case, rather than requiring the accommodation of each
patient case to a limited, few ingots as is common in most
other all-ceramic systems. Additionally, Authentic® is
indicated for all types of restorations, including: all-ceramic
inlays/onlays, partial crowns, full crowns, Press-To-Metal®
crowns, PTM® inlay bridges, PTM® long-span bridges
and PTM® hybrid- encapsulated bridges.
Because Authentic® may be used for all types
of restorations, the ceramist may now focus on the artistry
of creating beautiful smiles, rather than trying to disguise
the use of different restorative materials. This extraordinary
material technology translates to uniform optical refractive
index in the mouth and vital, natural-looking smiles-even
in combination (mixed media) cases. Simply stated, your patients
will be ecstatic with the natural vitality and "pop"
they observe in their new smiles.
On behalf of Jensen premium dental products,
we respectfully invite you to experience Authentic® excellence
when you prescribe Authentic® Pressable Ceramic or Authentic®
Press-To-Metal® for your next esthetically demanding case.
