"Dental professionals should no longer be locked into specific scanning or manufacturing systems, and we believe that a common platform will revolutionize the dental industry," Naoum Araj, president of Dental Wings, stated in a press release. "There is no doubt that digitalization will drive dentistry in the future, and our goal is to work with multiple partners to perfect an open platform that caters to the broadest range of needs."

Let Us Help You Save Time and Remove the Hassle from Ordering Surgical Guides

If you have ordered surgical guides before you know there’s a real benefit from getting a knowledgeable and experienced service provider to help smooth out the process. Guides need to be ordered by surgical support type– bone, tooth, or mucosa. They need to precisely match your treatment plan. The paperwork that comes with them needs to be correct too.
We save clinicians the time and hassle of this process by working with you to order guides for you. To begin with, our manufacturer is the most widely used and trusted source by dentists for surgical guides. We can review your treatment plan with you and order the appropriate guide for your case. Then we follow a protocol to QC check each guide before sending out to you. Any issues we find are corrected before you get the guide– even if we have to have it remade.
