Dental issues can cause significant distress for patients, especially when it coincides with special events. Dr Simon Chard, co-owner of Rothley Lodge Dental – describes a recent experience using the Midas 3D printer from SprintRay to restore a patient’s smile just a few days before Christmas. With time-critical pressure and high patient expectations, the Midas enabled a fast, precise, and reliable chairside solution, delivering outstanding clinical results and an immediate impact on the patient’s confidence and wellbeing.
“As dentists, the ability for us to provide indirect restorations in a single visit is remarkable for the patient experience.
“I had a patient come in with a with a lost crown just a few days before Christmas and, traditionally, that would have meant that she would either have had a temporary or be without her tooth for the Christmas period. Instead, as we used the Midas 3D printer from SprintRay, she was able to leave with a definitive restoration that looked better than the one that she had previously.
“We were able to provide the patient with a new crown in just a couple of hours, and I think that’s really special and we shouldn’t take it for granted. Whether it’s two or ten units, you print them all in nine minutes with Midas. So, it’s quite remarkable in that regard.”
