Monolithic Dental Laboratory   |   Australia

 

Monolithic Dental Laboratory in Belmont, Victoria is a specialist All Digital Crown, Bridge and Implant dental laboratory owned and operated by qualified dental technician, Ben Ross. Founded in 2013 as a sole-operator, Monolithic Dental Lab has grown in scale, number of staff, and success in the years since.

The quality and performance of our mills has been great. They’re very reliable. Through regular servicing and bur-changing, our first mill has been running for 5 years without a drama.

Before

  • Outsourced zirconia milling
  • Used to wax, scan and design everything by hand before transitioning to digital

After

  • Manufacturing their own products, digitally, has allowed Monolithic Dental Laboratory to mill more on x Implant and PMMA Implant with far more accuracy and detail, leaving less finishing-touches to make on the final product
  • Reduced costs in outsourcing fees
  • Monolithic Dental Laboratory has greater control over workflow

When Ben Ross opened the doors at Monolithic Dental Lab in 2013 he was outsourcing his zirconia milling and waxing everything by hand.

By 2015, Ben had begun migrating towards digital production and purchased his first DGSHAPE DWX-52DCi dental milling machine in 2019 which allowed him to become more time-efficient and more productive. This increase in productivity, necessitated recruiting his first apprentice which allowed Monolithic Dental Laboratory to become even more productive, which has become the narrative of their growth.

Ben bought their second DGSHAPE dental mill in 2023 which offered several benefits including access to the latest technology, providing greater production capacity and backup if needed.

As a small operator, it’s important that Ben’s able to keep working, even in the event of a breakdown. Thankfully he hasn’t needed to test his contingency plan yet.

 

Consistent, quality craftsmanship produced using the latest technology

Being small, Monolithic Dental Laboratory are close to their clients, and their clients’ patients, making it vital that they deliver consistent, high-quality, high-performance restorations – quickly and nimbly.

This aligns with the consistent quality and craftsmanship they invest in the tailored products they make using the highest quality materials on the latest technology DGSHAPE dental mills.

DGSHAPE dental mills; trustworthy brand and local service

Ben conducted extensive research to help make his decision to purchase his first DGSHAPE dental mill and ”looked at all brands to realise DGSHAPE is trustworthy, has a good reputation, has Dealers in Australia, and offers local service and support.”

We looked at all brands to realise DGSHAPE is trustworthy, has a good reputation, has Dealers in Australia, and offers local service and support.

Since that day, Ben hasn’t looked back saying the “quality and performance of his mills has been great. They’re very reliable. Through regular servicing and bur-changing, his first mill has been running for 5 years without a drama.”

Ben spruiks that “the milling software is user-friendly, is easy to learn and comes with great customer support so he’s been able to learn more complex milling strategies.” He’d “recommend DGSHAPE to other dental labs that want a mill they don’t have to worry about breaking down, and are simple to use, straight out of the box.”
