| At Group 4 Dental Lab, we take great pride in staying on the leading edge of dental technology. We feature multiple mills, scanners, and software suites that allow us to minimize production time and maximize quality. We only use genuine products and follow rigorous production guidelines that guarantee results you can count on every time. Being able to trust the production of your restorations to a lab can be a mixed bag, and that’s why we focus on consistency and quality in all lines of creation and production. We understand how important it can be to utilize your chairside digital impression scanning systems. That is why we accept any open STL files as well as a variety of proprietary file types. When you send us cases digitally, we are able to start work on them immediately and streamline our case turn time. We pay shipping (UPS) on all cases sent from and received by us, so you can focus on your clients.  Flexibility and Power in ScanningWe quickly and accurately scan your impressionsWe believe in making it as easy as possible for our clients to interface with us. To achieve maximum flexibility, we have adopted the following scanners:
This allows us to accept virtually any digital file, as well as any physical models or impressions, and get dependable scans every time. Because we have adopted such a rich array of CAD/CAM systems, we are able to minimize turn-around time and maximize production.  Precision MillingWe focus on consistency and quality in all lines of creation and productionWhen you send an order to your dental lab, you want results you can count on. Our milling techniques and equipment have been honed and refined to provide the longest-lasting and most natural-looking restorations available. When you order your 1000th case restoration from us, you can count on it being milled to the same exact specifications and standards as the first case order you placed with us. We use the following mills to provide your practice with perfect products, every time:
We wet-mill all ceramic restorations and dry-mill all zirconia-based restorations. We also have dedicated wet and dry mills. By committing mills to either wet or dry production we drastically reduce the preparation time of the mills themselves.

At Group 4 Dental Lab, we are excited to use industry leading systems that have proven track records delivering stellar results. The NobelClinician® software suite facilitates our planning of implant-supported treatment cases. It also provides us with a solid starting point in our workflow when crafting any product within the Nobel Biocare® catalog. Facilitating Efficiency, Producing ResultsWe are always innovating new ways to help your practice get what it needs quickly, and efficiently. Often this means building strong lines of communication with you and your staff to allow a more effective means of collaboration. As a dental lab, our passion lies in building a strong working relationship with you. NobelClinician® gives us another way to accomplish just that. Using this tool, we are able to plan and communicate valuable treatment plan options with you. We are able to visualize the patient’s CBCT data alongside the intra-oral situation and diagnostic setup. If you run NobelClinician® in your office, we can even communicate digitally through the application with you. Nobel Biocare®, Industry Leading InnovationWe at Group 4 Dental Lab, understand the importance of partnerships with industry leaders such as Nobel Biocare®. Using Nobel Biocare® software suites allows us to guarantee a perfect case from start to finish, saving time and money. Our ProcessWe accept both physical and digital impressions from our clients. On the digital front, apart from NobelClinician® we accept files from any open STL export system:
When you send us an impression digitally you have the advantage of quicker turn-around times on your cases. When you switch to digital impressions, not only does your office not need to stock the impression material, the preparation work and set times go out the window as well. When you switch to digital impressions, your turn-around times are dramatically improved, leading to happier clients and greater profit margins. In our state-of-the-art facility, we run three different CAD/CAM and milling systems -Zirkonzahn® CAD systems, 3Shape® CAD systems, and of course Nobel Biocare’s NobeClinician®. All of our restoration cases are initially run through our CAD department, which is manned by highly skilled CAD technicians. Whether it’s crowns, bridges, implants, surgical guides, or temporaries it is digitally designed in the CAD/CAM department. Once it has been designed or re-touched in the CAD department it is sent either to the wet milling department, or the dry milling department (depending on the product desired). All of our E.max restorations are sent through a Wieland Zenotech Select Hybrid wet mill. All of the zirconia products are sent through a Zirkonzahn M5 dry mill. Improved CommunicationThe advent of digital impressions has allowed us to take advantage of much more efficient communications techniques than ever before. When we are able to quickly and easily look at a digital impression, we are able to immediately provide you feedback on your cases. Call our office today at (503) 297-2431to place your case order.
