Midwest Dental Arts Dental Lab, Inc.
- Feldspathic Veneers
-
Midwest Dental Arts - Dental Lab creates lustrous veneers for a very natural, life-like, result.* Colors are natural looking and stable.
* Cementation strength permits tooth reshaping. Although veneers are somewhat fragile in your hand, once they are bonded to the tooth, they develop high tensile and shear strengths, allowing reshaping.
* The bond of etched porcelain veneers to enamel is measured from 2600 to 3200 psi, compared with composite resin veneer to enamel bonds, which range from 900 to 1400 psi.
* Long-lasting with exceptional resistance to wear, abrasion and stain. When bonded properly, veneers can last as long as other fixed restorations, while the highly glazed surface is very resistant to stain accumulation.Midwest Dental Arts Dental Lab Team

- Midwest Dental Lab - IPS e.max Veneers
-

The demand for aesthetic all-ceramic restorations is continuously increasing. You can provide your patients with individual restorations that exhibit impeccable aesthetics and the required high mechanical stability, since IPS e.max comprises highly aesthetic and high-strength materials for both the PRESS and CAD/CAM technique. The restorations are suitable for adhesive and conventional cementation.
Highlights:
- Highly aesthetic and high-strenth all ceramic materials can be combined
- One layering ceramic for the IPS e.max system
- Predictable shade results and similar clinical behavior even in different restorations veneered with IPS e.max Ceramic
- Lifelike aesthetics independent of the shade of the prepared tooth
- Adhesive and conventional cementation
Glass-ceramics
Reinforced glass-ceramics has been used in all-ceramics in press technology for 15 years. Glass-ceramics can not only be just pressed but also milled by means of a state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technique. IPS e.max Press are new highly aesthetic lithium disilicate glass-ceramic ingots with optimized homogeneity and high strength. They allow the fabrication of restorations with a high accuracy of fit. The strength of 400 MPa which has been unmatched to date by glass-ceramics enables conventional cementation.

- Midwest Dental Arts - Dental Lab Offers iGuide
-
Midwest Dental Arts Dental Lab uses some of the latest technologies around. IGuide for dental implants is just one example. Based upon the virtual planning of the optimal location of the dental implants in the jaw bone, the iDent process produces a customized guide that simplifies the drilling process and guides the dentist to place the dental implant in the precise location as planned. The iGuide is a customized implant drilling surgical guide produced by rapid manufacturing technology. iDent’s unique process overcomes problem of CT scatter from metal in the jaw, and enables the guide to be placed accurately and firmly on the jaw, in both edentulous and partially edentulous cases.
An iGuide is produced when treatment planning data received from the dentist is transmitted to an iDent partner or service center where digital manufacturing technology rapidly produces the iGuide - a customized implant drilling template corresponding with precision to the dentist’s implant treatment plan. The template is sent back to the dentist for use in the implant placement procedure, resulting in efficient implant placement with confidence.
Some advantages of using iGuides include:
- Reduction in surgery time
- Reduced trauma, pain and swelling for patients
- Flapless surgery in appropriate cases
- Shorter recuperation time
- Accurate transfer of CT-based virtual surgery to the clinical environment
- Improved prosthetic results
- Immediate loading in appropriate cases

- Midwest Dental Lab Survives Flood
-
Midwest Dental Arts was located in the heart of the flood zone in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on June 11th – 13th .The water levels were projected to reach the door of the building. We were given a few hours notice to evacuate the building and take what we could at that time.
Our server and all backup systems were removed, while our team worked to move all equipment to a higher level. It was time to evacuate the area as the water rose, and there was no turning back. We hoped to get back into the lab in a few days.
The next day the water level rose more than 12 ft higher than expected and the building was completely under water. Jamey Schropp, CDT and owner of Midwest Dental Arts, immediately took action and ordered new hand pieces, benches, porcelain ovens and a new CAD system from Nobel Biocare, along with everything we needed to become a fully functional dental lab again.
We found a new building on the west side of town and had our full service lab up and running on June 22nd. As for the old lab, when we were finally allowed back into the flood zone we discovered that the ceilings had collapsed over all the work stations, computer systems and everything was covered with about 2 inches of mud and waste.
We were only able to recover a few items. Fortunately, we have a strong team that was able to come back from this devastation, working endless hours, side by side, to insure our continued dedication to our Doctors.
We are now in a position were we need to ask for your help. Having to purchase everything all over again at one time has become quite overwhelming. We hope you can support our dedication to you by just sending us as much work as you can.
Midwest Dental Arts, as always, is looking forward to working with you and appreciate everything you can do for us now and in the future. We would also like to thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. It truly meant a lot at times when we felt overwhelmed.
Sincerely,
Midwest Dental Arts Team
