Dental milling machine Roland DWX-4W: A user report business (cid:132) Established in 1970, Tandlæ- gerne Kold in Herning is a nation- ally renowned dental clinic owned by Simon and Louise Kold. Cur- rently, the clinic team consists of 26 dentists, dental assistants and tech- nicians. Over the last few years, the clinic has seen a rapid increase in new clients. As a direct conse- quence of their success, the dentist couple expanded the clinic size to 800 sqms and ventured into a new era by in CAD/CAM equipment and a Roland DWX-4W dental mill. investing “We were fortunate to be able to beta-test 3Shape’s new TRIOS 3 scan- ner and based on that experience we decided to take it one step further and add a dental milling machine in order to complete the circle and man- age the full production in-house,” Kold said. “Roland’s DWX-4W came highly recommended by 3Shape and it has not let us down.” He continued: “The DWX-4W has already proved its worth and having a CAD/CAM solution in-house has made a world of difference to the ser- vice we are able to provide our cus- tomers. The best example lies a few months back when we had a patient residing in Paris, France home for a brief visit. He was only home for one day and we actually managed to do a complete treatment with scanning, AD designing, milling and implementing a new crown in one day.” What has actually impressed Kold the most is the quality and ﬁn- ish of the dental prosthetics milled on the DWX-4W. “We have nothing bad to say about the DWX-4W, but if I should highlight just one thing about this amazing milling machine it will have to be the quality of the completed product. The quality of the crowns we do on the DWX-4W is superb and ab- solutely live up to the high quality we demand on behalf of our customers,” he explained. Advantages of having a DWX-4W combined with a scanner in the den- tal clinic are many, according to Kold, including faster treatment of patients and the fact that they can spare them the extra cost and trip to the dentist because they need temporary im- plants. With this new set-up, he said, they can actually test and adjust the implant on site. “Just as we can do overlays to re- place large plastic ﬁllings and create a much nicer and more durable tooth,” Kold added. Simon Kold emphasizes that while he is very pleased with their decision to expand and take on CAD/ CAM and in-house production of den- tal prosthetics, he has every intention of leaving the more complicated jobs to the dental labs. “This new set-up has made a world of difference already and we see so many opportunities with this equipment in the sense that we can provide an even better service, create more durable solutions and not least provide our patients with better look- ing teeth. But there is only so much we can do ourselves,” he concluded with a smile. As an extra plus to the invest- ment, having the full CAD/CAM solu- tion in-house has been a source to daily teamwork in the clinic and the result is clearly more motivation em- ployees. “Perhaps it shouldn’t be a big surprise but I have to admit that the investment has led to more motivated employees who thrive tremendously seeing their work from start to ﬁnish. I honestly believe that it is a matter of professional pride and the fact that we can now control the quality of our work even better is a huge satisfac- tion to everybody in the clinic.
