Every now and then, dentistry gets a small moment in the spotlight, even if it is hidden behind a scrum of professional athletes. England’s recent 33 to 19 win over New Zealand came with one of those moments for us at Bremadent. George Ford, who walked away with man of the match, was wearing a custom sports mouth guard crafted in our lab. We only spotted it afterwards when the photos started circulating, but we will happily take the victory in silence. It is not every day a World Cup level fly half is protected by something you made at a bench in Walthamstow.

A special thank you goes to Dr Anni Seaborne for trusting us with the case. This is the kind of partnership we love clinician and technician working together to keep athletes safe in a sport where tackles often resemble controlled collisions. While the crowd celebrates the tries, conversions and last minute sprints, dentistry quietly plays defence in the background, making sure the players’ teeth survive the match intact.

If you work in general dentistry, you already know the truth nobody likes to say out loud. Denture appointments can swallow an entire morning, derail a carefully planned diary and drain your clinical energy faster than a quadruple-espresso-freehand-prep combo. Primary impressions, secondary impressions and bite registrations are essential, but they are not always the best use of chairtime in a modern, high demand practice. That is exactly why more dental practices across London, Essex and Hertfordshire are outsourcing clinical stages to qualified Clinical Dental Technicians and partnering with laboratory led clinical services like Bremadent Clinic.

Let’s explore how this model works, why it is growing rapidly and how it can increase efficiency, profitability and patient satisfaction without compromising standards or control.

When it comes to protecting teeth, easing muscle tension, and helping patients finally get a good night’s sleep, Michigan and Tanner splints are two of the most trusted solutions available. As a dental laboratory that has been crafting high quality appliances since 1969, we have seen just how transformative a well made splint can be. They may not look glamorous, but they certainly know how to keep teeth out of trouble. Think of them as the quiet heroes working overnight while your patient dreams peacefully of a world without jaw pain.

This guide walks you through what these splints are, how they work, who they help, and why partnering with a high quality lab makes all the difference. 

If you have ever tried explaining splints to patients and felt like you were describing a mysterious creature from the dental underworld, you are not alone. Bite splints can seem complicated, but once you break them down they become one of the most predictable and valuable appliances in restorative dentistry. At Bremadent Dental Laboratory in London we design, CAD mill and finish a full range of hard occlusal splints that help your patients protect their teeth, manage parafunctional habits and improve comfort. Two of the most popular appliances we provide are the Michigan Splint and the Tanner Splint. Both have their own place in dental treatment planning and both are crafted using our fully digital CAD and milling workflows for maximum precision.

This blog covers what they are, when they are used, how they differ and why our digital process produces a better and more consistent result than traditional analogue splints. The price for both splints in our updated 2025 price list is £155 and this includes 3D printed models and Denar articulations as standard.
