The laboratory expects removables sales to grow by 25% this year thanks, in part, to its launch of Reflections, the lab’s most esthetic denture line featuring Ivoclar’s Ivocap injection system and ^SRPhonares teeth.

Knight Dental Group trains its removable technicians through hands-on instruction, PTC’s denture training modules and denture courses at Ivoclar Vivadent’s Implant Esthetics Center of Excellence (IECE) in Sarasota, FL, which is located only about an hour from the laboratory

To open the new department, the laboratory spent over $100,000, including $12,000 on building improvements, to create a burnout and casting room and install plumbing and electric.

After six months of research on the removables market, Lab President Warren Rogers (far left) knew the time was right for re-entry and appointed longtime manager, Scott Pincus, CDT, head of the new department. Experienced in C&B, Pincus relied on the expertise of two of the lab’s biggest suppliers—Ivoclar Vivadent and Dentsply Prosthetics—for his initial training in removables.
