Prosthodontics Laboratory
We work with the best
Some of our oral rehabilitation treatments rely on the intervention of a Prosthetic Dental Laboratory. The choice of the laboratory is a crucial and significant step in ensuring the success of each treatment.
Human resources and technological equipment are vital factors when choosing partners to work with. The closer the professional relationship between the Prosthodontist and the dentist, the better. This good relationship facilitates communication between the laboratory and the clinic, as it is crucial that no detail be left out so that the result is achieved accurately.
The Prosthodontics Laboratory with which the Hugo Madeira Clinic works has mastered both conventional and digital processes. Whether it is the application of dental veneers, prostheses on implants or any other element, the dentist can achieve their treatments through the technology used in the laboratory.

How to choose a Prosthodontics Dental Laboratory
At the Hugo Madeira Clinic, there are features we consider to be fundamental when choosing a Prosthodontics Dental Laboratory as a partner, such as:
- Efficient workflow so that all cases are managed correctly;
- Compliance with the deadlines established in the treatment plan;
- Ensuring the safety of the techniques used, guaranteeing the durability of the treatment;
- Use of the latest technologies and innovative approaches, such as digital rehabilitation design software, 3D printers and milling machines;
- Qualified professionals with experience who guarantee the quality and excellence of the result;
- Use of high-quality materials, such as acrylics and ceramics.
This last is one of the most important factors, as it can determine the durability and aesthetics of the treatment.
It all starts in the doctor’s office
After the diagnosis and treatment plan is approved, the patient’s oral rehabilitation process can be initiated.
Using technologies such as the intraoral scanner, it is possible to digitally replicate the patient’s oral cavity and carry out the digital planning of the smile. In other words, pre-visualising the final result of the treatment, even before it begins.
In more complex oral rehabilitation cases, such as dental veneers or fixed total prostheses, the digital planning software makes it possible to determine factors such as the final position or shape of the teeth. And everything is calculated according to the functional parameters, physiognomic characteristics and the patient’s aesthetic expectations.
From the doctor’s office to the laboratory
To ensure that they deliver the best possible work, Prosthodontists can consult all the patient’s auxiliary diagnostic examinations and requests made by the dentist, such as photographs and intraoral scans. And this can be done at any time. The ongoing communication between teams simplifies the whole process of planning and carrying out the clinical case, boosting its success.
Technologies of choice
CAD/CAM
Is about the ability to scan the patient’s oral cavity and transfer it to software through a 3D model.
Using these tools, we know that it is possible to improve the results of oral rehabilitation by enhancing elements such as inlays, onlays, crowns, dental veneers and total fixed prostheses.
DSD — Digital Smile Design
DSD — Digital Smile Design is the tool through which it is possible to preview the future smile of each patient. The Digital Smile Design allows us to mimic the final result before starting the treatment. It can be changed and repeated as often as necessary until achieving the best solution.
