NEW YORK, NY and CHARLOTTE, NC, USA: A new lab specializing in digital dentistry — DENTATRUST — has opened in Charlotte, NC. The lab, founded by Tom Nieting, CDT, and Norbert Ulmer, MBA, utilizes CEREC 3D, inLab and CEREC Connect technology.
DENTATRUST has a growing team of dental technician personnel, numerous professional collaborators and a rigorous agenda of ongoing education and training for fellow dental professionals interested in maximizing their knowledge and practice of digital dentistry.
The lab offers many services for patients and dental professionals, such as treatment planning, digital design and consulting services for dental professionals.
“As the most experienced and leading CEREC laboratory worldwide, we particularly welcome and enjoy working with CEREC dentists as we share not only the same technology platform but also the same philosophy,” said Nieting, in a press release announcing the launch of the lab.
DENTATRUST is currently partnering with the following industry leaders: Fully Integrated Practice (FIP), Ivoclar Vivadent, Patterson Dental, Sirona Dental Systems and Vident.
“In order for DENTATRUST to be the best in the dental laboratory field, we are teaming up with the best,” Ulmer said. “We are honored and thankful for the constructive relationships that we enjoy with our professional partners.”
In addition to dental restorations, DENTATRUST conducts ongoing research and instruction in the field of digital dentistry. Both Nieting and Ulmer conduct numerous lectures, training seminars and study clubs throughout the year on topics such as digital impressions, Sirona software training, CEREC Connect and CAD/CAM technology updates.
“DENTATRUST offers advice and guidance on the successful selection of a digital solution that fits individual professional CAD/CAM requirements,” Ulmer said. “We enjoy helping fellow dental professionals get started, grow, or simply help perfect the fabrication process and results.”
