Planmeca PlanMill 30 S
Gain back control over the restorative process with an in-house milling unit that makes it quick and easy to produce high-quality restorations for your patients
There are fewer scenarios more frustrating than getting a patient to accept restorative treatment, taking an impression, and sending it off to the lab—only to receive a poor-fitting crown in return. Luckily, dental technology like in-house milling allows us to gain back some of the control lost to an outsourced workflow.
When Dr. Don Murry, III, noticed that the quality of his lab-fabricated full-coverage zirconia restorations was declining, he turned to the Planmeca PlanMill 30 S to help him regain control over the restorative process and consistently provide his patients with high-quality restorations.
“Now, day in and day out, our Planmeca PlanMill produces quality restorations that fit,” he shared.
A Simple Way to Regain Control
Part of the Planmeca FIT system—a chairside CAD/CAM solution that combines scanning, designing, and milling—the Planmeca PlanMill 30 S is an entry-level mill ideal for private practices. It has the power to mill a wide range of restorations, including crowns, veneers, up to 6-unit bridges, and hybrid abutments.
An integrated computer and guided maintenance wizard ensure the Planmeca PlanMill 30 S is easy to use, while a fixed 5-station tool changer and custom milling paths calculated for micron-precise accuracy ensure crowns and other restorations are milled with the highest integrity.
“From ceramic onlays delivered in under an hour to in-office milled custom implant restorations, we can complete restorations in one visit—simplifying the workflow and adding efficiency and profitability to our partial- and full-coverage restorative cases,” added Dr. Murry.
Perhaps an even bigger perk than the milling unit’s accuracy and ease of use is the fact that Planmeca tools are built on an open platform—making it easy to share digital scans and design files with labs, specialists, and other third-parties, while ensuring clinicians can quarterback their patients’ treatment from diagnosis to delivery.
“This open framework, for me, is what separates Planmeca from its competitors,” said Dr. Zachary Evans. “It’s refreshing to work with a system that gives you this kind of freedom.”
