The evolution of Pala Digital Dentures
The Pala Digital Dentures 2.0 workflow incorporates 3D scanning, design and printing technologies with your preferred fabrication techniques. The result is increased efficiency and cost savings for the laboratory, and dentures that look natural and fit perfectly for the patient.
Utilize Kulzer equipment to easily scan, design and create patient try-ins. Kulzer’s team of experts can also assist with designing and prototyping.
When it’s time to process the final denture, your team has full independence and control. A wide range of economy and premium options ensure you’ll get consistent, precise results every time— whether you opt for a fully printed denture, or more traditional methods. You design your workflow of choice as a Pala Digital Dentures partner lab!
We’re continuing to revolutionize the denture process: introducing the new 2.0 digital workflow.
