Dental labs are an essential part of the dental care industry, providing doctors with the materials and services needed to provide patients with the best care possible. And while traditional methods of case management work, they can be inefficient and costly. Pan-Am’s digital case workflow provides dentists with the efficiency, cost savings, and accuracy needed to take their practice to the next level.

Getting a 3D Image of Patient’s Teeth

Dentists will need to scan the patient’s mouth using an intraoral scanner of their choice. The scanner will create a digital STL file that can be sent to Pan-Am. Since 3D imaging is able to capture all 360° of a patient’s teeth, this file can be used to create a digital impression of the patient’s teeth – allowing us to design the perfect fit and color of the appliance. 

Files Sent Electronically for Quicker Results

The files are sent electronically to Pan-Am and will be inputted immediately in our system, allowing technicians to get started as soon as possible. 

We will be able to use this digital file to fabricate the patient’s dental crowns, dental bridges, or other dental appliances. In addition, we use 3D printing technology to digitally fabricate individualized bite registration, bite bars, and other dental lab equipment. 

Design and Fabrication

3D modeling technology allows us to create digital mock-ups and designs of the patient’s appliances. Lab technicians to see what the appliances will look like, and make changes prior to fabrication. And when the digital design is approved, our team will begin the fabrication with accuracy and precision. 

Patients Files Stored Indefinitely

With a digital workflow, Pan-Am will store the patient files indefinitely. Should there be changes in the future, dentists can easily get access to all files sent to us.
