Previously we used precision soldering techniques in Dental Prosthetics, but this comes with a high price. The structural integrity of the metal is always damaged due to the high heat used. Even with heat shields there is always some degree of damage and this often leads to failure or other adverse factors. We compensated for this in using certain design features but this made the areas of soldering bulky.

With a Laser welding this is a thing of the past. The laser welded repairs can be up to 300% stronger than soldered repairs. Titanium and Titanium alloys can only be done with a laser welder. This is essential when constructing substructures for dental implants made of pure Titanium.

For example:

• Repairing a clasp on a cast denture without stripping the artificial teeth.
• Cutting and welding an ill fitting bridge framework to restore optimal fit.
• Easily fill a hole or a lost contact on a cast crown.
• Add precision attachments with ease.
• And many more!

• No Solder used. More Hygenic, less toxicity.
• Homogeneous structure with high mechanical strength.
• Weld is with the parent metal without the introduction of additional metals or alloys thereby eliminating any galvanic effect.
• Welding is done with little or no heat transfer providing consistent advantages and increasing the versatility of the technology.
• Small heat affected area eliminates the risk of warping and the weld can be safely positioned.
• Accuracy of fit is significantly higher than with conventional soldering techniques.
• Titanium can be laser welded in an argon gas environment providing the ability for more efficient frame repairs incorporating Titanium and its alloys .
• Laser beam micro-adjusts in width and power output enabling us to weld finer parts and attachments without risk.
• A laser welded frame will not warp under the influence of heat and is less likely to fracture.
• More precise fit likely when laser welding.
