[ Workshop ]
A dental technologist within the studio itself
Crowns, dentures and guards, designed and made on site. Try-ins and adjustments at the studio, without going through an outside laboratory.
- Implant
- Crown
- Bridge
- Veneer
- Removable partial denture
- Complete denture
- Guard
What this changes for you
In most practices, the impression goes to a laboratory that will never see your mouth. Here, the person who makes your piece works a few metres from the treatment room.
A dental technologist can see you in person.
Shade, shape and smile checked directly in the mouth. When a tooth's colour is hard to match, she comes and looks at it in the studio's own light rather than working from a photograph.
The making is done from start to finish here.
Except the metal framework of partial dentures. An adjustment is often made while you wait, instead of a second appointment a week later.
One person makes it. One person supervises.
She makes your piece from beginning to end. Dr Ramdani supervises every step. If there is a question about your case, it is settled between two pieces, not by email between two businesses.
What we make here
The list is deliberately precise: you can know, before starting, what is made here and what goes outside.
Restorations
- Crowns and bridges, on natural teeth and on implants
- Indirect restorations:
- feldspathic porcelain
- lithium disilicate (pressed e.max)
- 3Y and 4Y zirconia
- Ceramic veneers
- Temporary veneers and indirect restorations printed in resin
Dentures
- Complete and partial dentures (the metal framework of partials is made externally)
- Printed custom impression trays
Guards and plates
- Occlusal plates for bruxism and clenching
- Fluoride and whitening trays
Planning
- Diagnostic wax-up
- Surgical guides for implant placement
The equipment
Externally: digitizing of conventional impressions and metal frameworks.
The workshop team
The workshop is made up of Dr Ramdani, general dentist and founder of studio [de facto], and a dental technologist, Amira Thameur, who graduated in 2022 and is a member of the Ordre des technologues en prothèses et appareils dentaires du Québec. Dr Ramdani plans and supervises every piece; Amira Thameur makes it and finishes it by hand. Hand finishing is what separates a correct piece from one you never notice: it is the last tenth of a millimetre, and no machine does it for you.
The workshop occupies three benches, one after the other.
01The digital design room 
02The printing station for your appliances and models 
03The bench where your appliances and restorations are personalized
