Why choose a digital dental lab?

Digital dental technology enables us to collaborate more closely with our clients, providing an exceptional level of service. Our support team is available throughout the day and can be reached via phone, in-app chat or email. 

Our in app chat is our clients communication of choice, this enables them to contact the Technicians directly with an instant reply.

Digital dentistry provides better accuracy and predictability and also gives a clinician the tools for greater patient acceptance for a number of procedures.

Greater Accuracy

Digital impression taking provides unmatched precision, eliminating guesswork and ensuring optimal results. With real-time collaboration, clinicians and dental lab technicians can review cases together, discuss details, and refine treatment plans seamlessly. Case photos and instructions are securely shared through many Intraoral chairside softwares,streamlining workflows and enhancing communication for superior outcomes.

Quick Turnaround

Digital impressions reach our lab instantly, eliminating postal delays and meaning cases can be reviewed straight away, this streamlines our manufacturing process. By digitising our workflow, we can offer faster, more reliable restorations that are still of the highest quality. This means that you are able to provide prompt, high-quality care for your patients and save time for you and your clinic.

Chair Time Experience

Intraoral scanning significantly reduces appointment times compared to traditional impressions, improving both efficiency and patient comfort. Less chair time creates a smoother, more pleasant experience for your patients while allowing you to optimise scheduling and maximise chair time utilisation. Digital workflows ensure a faster,cleaner, more seamless treatment process.

Better Patient Experience

Digital impressions create a far more comfortable and stress-free experience for patients, eliminating the discomfort of traditional analogue impressions. An analog impression can cause discomfort, excessive gag reflex, can be difficult to remove and in certain situations this can be detrimental to existing teeth. As more patients seek out digital practices, providing this advanced technology enhances satisfaction for both patient and dentist.

Dental Lab FAQs

What types of dental restorations can GoDigital Dental Lab create?

GoDigital Dental specialises in a wide range of high-quality dental restorations using advanced digital technology. Our services include dental implants, which are titanium screws surgically placed to provide long term solutions for missing teeth. They are placed into the jawbone to support crowns and bridges. We also digitally design and manufacture crown and bridge restorations, ideal for restoring strength, function, and appearance to teeth that are fractured, heavily filled, or have undergone root canal treatment. Our bridge restorations effectively replace one or more missing teeth, helping to restore bite alignment and aesthetics, giving a patient their confidence, ability to maintain a nutritional diet and live a fuller life. 

Every restoration we produce is carefully designed to ensure a precise fit, correct function, and long-term durability. Leveraging the latest in digital technology and premium materials, we deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes for both dental professionals and their patients. Whether addressing the restoration of a single tooth or a more complex case involving multiple teeth, our solutions are customised to suit the unique clinical requirements and aesthetic goals of each individual.

GoDigital Dental Lab uses a range of advanced materials to create strong, natural-looking crown and bridge restorations, carefully selected to suit the clinical needs of each case. Monolithic zirconia is commonly used for its exceptional strength and durability, making it well-suited for posterior crowns and full-arch bridges. Over the years, zirconia has advanced in terms of translucencies too, and we are now able to produce high aesthetic crown, bridge and implant cases that maintain a high level of strength throughout their lifetime. For anterior cases, lithium disilicate is still the chosen material. It’s known for its excellent translucency and lifelike appearance, making it ideal for cosmetic-focused treatments.

Feldspar ceramics are also available for full contour restorations that require superior aesthetics thanks to their natural light-reflecting properties. Finally, hybrid dental ceramics combine ceramic and polymer components for increased flexibility, shock absorption, and wear resistance. These are particularly useful in minimally invasive procedures or where a balance of strength and resilience is important. All materials are selected based on functionality, durability, and the aesthetic goals of the individual restoration.

GoDigital Dental’s Digital Partnership programme helps dental practices transition smoothly into digital workflows with minimal upfront investment. Through our Scanner Partnership, we provide your practice with a 3Shape TRIOS scanner on a monthly minimum spend agreement, with no hidden fees or initial costs. This gives you access to leading digital scanning technology while keeping your setup affordable and straightforward.

The scanner improves the accuracy and efficiency of impressions, enhances the patient experience, and simplifies communication with our dental lab. The scanner can also be used for Invisalign cases, giving your practice more flexibility in treatment planning. Whether you are just beginning your digital journey or expanding an existing system, our dedicated team is here to assist with training, case planning, and ongoing guidance. By joining our partnership programme, you gain both the tools and expert support needed to grow your digital capabilities and deliver exceptional care to your patients.

Yes, GoDigital Dental Lab is registered under multiple schemes to ensure the safety and quality of our services. We are DAMAS registered (Dental Appliance Manufacturers Audit Scheme), which demonstrates our commitment to quality assurance. DAMAS registration is a recognised certification that ensures our lab meets strict criteria for producing safe and effective dental appliances. 

We are also registered with the MHRA, the UK authority responsible for regulating medical devices, including custom-made dental appliances. This is a legal requirement for those who manufacture dental devices to make sure that restorations meet stringent safety and quality standards before they can be put on the market in Great Britain. Businesses that are required to be registered with the MHRA but fail to do so risk facing legal repercussions, including fines and limitations on operating their business. 

Finally, we are proud to be a member of the Dental Laboratory Association and fly the British Bite Mark, a quality assurance logo introduced by the DLA. A lab that displays the British Bite Mark shows that dental devices are made in the UK by General Dental Council-registered technicians using CE-marked materials. Labs using this mark follow UK regulations, giving patients confidence in the safety and standards of their dental appliances.

Through these certifications, we ensure that our restorations meet the highest standards of excellence and patient care, giving both dental professionals and patients confidence in our products and services.

Dental labs like GoDigital Dental Lab ensure quality and consistency by using advanced digital technology such as 3D scanning, CAD/CAM design, and precision milling. These tools allow for highly accurate restorations and reduce manual errors. Digital workflows also make it easier to replicate successful outcomes and maintain consistent results across cases.

Skilled technicians play a key role in reviewing designs, checking material integrity, and ensuring each product meets clinical requirements. All crown and bridge, implant, and implant planning cases are finished by hand in our highly skilled ceramics department. 

GoDigital Dental follows strict quality control protocols and uses trusted suppliers to source durable, biocompatible materials. Every case is thoroughly inspected before delivery to catch any imperfections.

Close communication with dentists helps our lab fine-tune our work based on patient feedback and clinical performance. Some labs also use AI tools and digital tracking systems to monitor progress and improve long-term outcomes. This combination of technology, expertise, and collaboration ensures that restorations are both precise and reliable.

GoDigital Dental Lab offers a comprehensive shade-taking service to ensure your restorations match your patient’s natural teeth precisely. Our experienced technicians utilise advanced tools and techniques to achieve accurate shade matching, enhancing the aesthetic outcome of crowns, bridges, and implant restorations. We employ the Vita Master and Vita Master 3D shade guide systems, which allow for a systematic selection process based on brightness, chroma, and hue, ensuring a logical and efficient shade selection. 

​The process typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and is conducted in a relaxed, non-clinical environment at our state-of-the-art dental lab in Nottingham. Patients are encouraged to participate and communicate their thoughts, which is particularly helpful with anterior cases. We can also provide them with a tour of our lab to see their restoration in production. 

By outsourcing shade matching to GoDigital Dental, you can ensure your patients receive restorations that blend seamlessly with their existing teeth, improving overall satisfaction.​

At GoDigital Dental Lab, we offer comprehensive solutions for implant restorations, and implant planning and guides, ensuring precise and reliable restorations for your patients. Our process begins with detailed planning, utilising your CBCT and intraoral scans to create an implant plan and guide. We can plan both single units and full arch/all-on-X cases. Our team will send you the detailed plan via PDF for review and approval. Once approved, the guides are fabricated and returned to your practice with a PDF of the drill guide and sequence, enhancing surgical predictability.

Once planned and approved, we can provide a temporary crown or bridge along with the stent if you would like to immediately place something in the patient’s mouth. Alternatively, we can also provide you with a custom healing abutment to create that perfect emergence profile. Go Digital Dental understand the importance of good emergence on all implant cases and, more importantly, the anterior/aesthetic region. 

For final, permanent restorations, we offer both screw-retained and cement-retained options. These include angled screw channels, multi-unit abutments, custom bases, and cement-retained restorations to accommodate various implant placements and requirements. Go Digital Dental are experienced with all implant systems and have many years of experience restoring them. We want to ensure optimal outcomes for each case, so maintain close collaboration with your team during the process.

Building a long-term partnership with GoDigital Dental is straightforward and designed to support the growth of your practice. Start by contacting us to discuss your specific needs and how we can enhance your workflow with our range of digital services, from restorations to implants. Our team is dedicated to providing personalised solutions to fit your practice’s goals.

We offer seamless communication through our in-app chat so you can connect directly with our technicians for instant replies. This feature is particularly useful for chairside support, as it allows you and your team to contact us quickly during a procedure. Whether it’s for guidance mid-scan or to share clinical photos or additional information related to prescriptions, we will be able to get back to you quickly. By partnering with GoDigital Dental, you’ll benefit from high-quality restorations, expert support, and ongoing collaboration for a smooth, long-term relationship that meets your practice’s evolving needs.

The key difference between a digital laboratory like GoDigital Dental and a traditional dental lab lies in the technology used to create restorations. Digital labs use advanced tools such as 3D scanners, CAD (computer-aided design) software, and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) systems to design and fabricate restorations with precision and speed. This technology allows for efficient turnaround times, enhanced accuracy, and improved patient outcomes.

In contrast, traditional labs rely on manual processes, such as physical impressions and handcrafting. Whilst these labs have been around for much longer, they can be more time-consuming and prone to errors. Digital labs also make communication easier by sharing digital files, streamlining collaboration between the lab and dental practices. With digital workflows, there is less need for physical models, reducing the chances of mistakes and adjustments. Overall, digital labs offer a faster, more efficient, and more reliable approach to dental restorations compared to traditional methods.

When submitting a case to GoDigital Dental, providing accurate and detailed information is crucial for a smooth process and high-quality results. When submitting digital scans, ensure they have all the essential data, accurate occlusal recording, and are properly aligned. 

Along with the digital scans, include a completed prescription form specifying the type of restoration needed, such as crowns, bridges, or implants. Accurate shade requests are a must, and correct shade photos are vital for cases where aesthetic is of the utmost importance. If you would like a little help with shade taking, our skilled Ceramic team are more than happy to guide you towards providing the information we need. Alternatively, you could take advantage of our shade-taking service for the most precise colour match.

Clinical photos are also essential, especially when they highlight the treatment area, occlusion, or any specific concerns about alignment or anatomy. Any additional notes or special instructions should be clearly communicated, whether it’s regarding materials, design preferences, or specific patient requirements.

By submitting all relevant digital information, you help us ensure an efficient and accurate restoration process.

Go Digital-Dental stores all essential information in accordance with MDR (Medical Device Regulation) guidelines. However, all scan data taken by the dentist remains the property of the dental practice and should be stored by them.

We receive the data provided by the dentist and work strictly to their prescription and instructions. Restorations are designed according to this prescription, and we retain the design files for a limited period. If a restoration needs to be replicated at a later date, we cannot guarantee an exact match, such as for a crown, bridge, implant or other prosthesis. This is due to potential changes in the patient’s oral cavity between the time the original scan was taken and the time of the new request.

Your intraoral scanner provider should be able to advise you on how scan files are stored and how you can access them in the future. Some providers automatically archive scan data on their cloud servers, while others may require you to request access manually.

We will always do our best to assist you with any scan-related information where possible.
