As a dental laboratory, we see hundreds of relines and additions every year. Some are absolute textbook cases and a joy to process. Others, let’s be honest, arrive with a level of mystery that would challenge even the most optimistic technician. The difference between those two outcomes nearly always comes down to one thing: the quality and accuracy of the clinical impression.

At Bremadent Dental Laboratory, we created a clear, practical clinical guide for relines and additions to help dentists and dental teams achieve predictable, reliable results first time. This blog is built directly from that guide and expands on the reasoning behind it, the common pitfalls we see, and how a few small changes chairside can save time, frustration, and remakes for everyone involved

This is not about telling clinicians how to do their job. It is about sharing what we see daily at the bench and helping bridge the gap between surgery and laboratory so patients get the outcome they deserve.

At Bremadent Dental Laboratory we love zirconia. It is strong, aesthetic, biocompatible, and when used correctly it delivers beautiful long term results. Yet one of the most common conversations we have with dentists is not about how good zirconia looks, but why zirconia custom made abutments sometimes fail in the mouth.

This blog is written for dentists, practice owners, associates, nurses, and the wider dental team. It is honest, practical, and based on real world laboratory and clinical experience, supported by published research. There is a bit of humour too, because if you have ever had an implant complication land on your desk at 4.55 pm on a Friday, you know laughter is sometimes essential.

At Bremadent Dental Laboratory, we believe in transparency, innovation and giving our clients real value. That is why our new 2025 and 2026 prices have been set competitively using advanced AI supported market analysis to ensure they reflect industry trends, rising material costs and practice needs across London and the UK. Think of it as a smarter, fairer way to price high quality lab work with none of the guesswork and a lot less caffeine than you might expect.

Our goal is simple. To keep delivering the precision, consistency and craftsmanship you rely on, while ensuring your practice benefits from predictable, realistic fees that help with treatment planning, profitability and patient satisfaction. This blog walks you through our updated pricing approach and gives you a friendly tour of the services and departments that make Bremadent a trusted partner for thousands of clinicians.

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.
