 Choosing the right restorative material shouldn’t feel like a gamble, but let’s be honest, sometimes it does. Zirconia or Emax? Strength or aesthetics? Masking or translucency? We hear these questions daily at Bremadent Dental Laboratory, and the answer is rarely black and white. It’s about understanding the case, the patient, and the material properties, then making a decision that delivers both function and aesthetics.
This guide is designed to simplify that decision-making process, giving you a clear, practical framework you can apply chairside.

 Every now and then, a case lands on the bench that makes you pause, scratch your head, and say, “Right… what’s really going on here then?” This was one of those cases. Not because it was overly complex on paper, but because it refused to behave in a predictable, textbook way.
A dentist reached out to us at Bremadent Dental Laboratory after trying multiple labs. The feedback she kept getting was vague at best. No one could clearly explain why the case kept failing. The patient had an existing denture and originally retained a single premolar on the upper left-hand side. That one tooth was eventually extracted, and an addition was carried out. From that point onwards, everything changed. The bite was completely off. A new denture was prescribed. Same issue. Another lab tried. Same result again.  At Bremadent Dental Laboratory in London, we understand that dentures are not just about replacing teeth. They are about confidence, function, familiarity, and patient comfort. One of the most common things dentists hear is “I like my denture, I just want a new one like this.” That is exactly where digital reference dentures, also known as copy dentures, provide a practical and highly effective solution.
This modern approach combines traditional clinical principles with digital dentistry to create a streamlined workflow that benefits dentists, dental practices, and patients alike. It is efficient, predictable, and importantly, it respects what already works for the patient while improving what does not.  At Bremadent Dental Laboratory, everything we do is built around one simple idea: helping dentists deliver better outcomes, more efficiently, with less stress. We know that behind every case is a patient, a schedule, a reputation, and often a time pressure that no one warned you about at dental school. Our mission is not just words on a wall. It is a working framework that shapes how we support dental practices across the UK every single day. Here is what that looks like in real terms and why it matters to you and your team.
 At Bremadent Dental Laboratory, we work closely with dentists and dental teams across the UK to deliver predictable, high-quality implant-retained dentures. One issue that continues to come up in practice is locator pick-ups that don’t quite perform as expected.
They may feel tight, slightly off, lack retention, or cause ongoing adjustments. In some cases, they fail prematurely. When this happens, it is rarely down to the locator system itself. More often, it comes down to how the pick-up has been carried out. The key difference lies in whether the procedure is done chairside or in the laboratory. From both a clinical and technical perspective, chairside locator pick-ups are more accurate, more predictable, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients. Let’s break down why. |
