Member of the ACE Laboratory Group

/in /by

AMJ Ceramics Dental Laboratory is a member of the ACE (All Ceramics Excellence) group of laboratories, committed to monitoring quality from the receiving of impressions to the finished all-ceramic restoration and beyond.

To ensure this, quality feedback cards are distributed with every Techceram, Cercon or Lava restoration. The information gathered gives us, the laboratory and Techceram, the milling centre, vital information on what is going well and things which can be improved on.

Valuable advice is always available via the quality loop about any aspect of all-ceramic work from AMJ Ceramics or Techceram (TTC). The aim of the ACE loop is to give the patient the best possible care whilst giving you, the dentist, the best possible service.

British Bite Mark

/in /by

AMJ Ceramics Dental Laboratory is accredited to the British Bite Mark Scheme.

Recently there have been a significant number of dentists looking to send their prescriptions to dental laboratories in the Far East to reduce overheads. Regulations in the UK -including the materials used and ensuring dental technicians are registered with the General Dental Council – are in place to protect patients. Dental appliances which are imported are not manufactured by UK registered dental techniciancs, nor do the UK regulators inspect the dental laboratories manufacturing the appliences in the Far East.

The British Bite Mark was launched in March 2012, and aims to inform patients that their dental appliance is manufactured in the UK and complies with all the material and professional standards set in the UK to protect patients from receiving illegally manufactured crowns, bridges or dentures.

Every appliance supplied by AMJ Ceramics Dental Laboratory is made in Britain. You can therefore be assured in the knowledge that the work you receive from us is of the same high standard and consistency as always.
