The Digitally Handcrafted Zr Bridge: Complete Workflow From Design to Glaze

 

 

Joao gained his first position as a Dental Technician in a fully digital dental laboratory in Lisbon in 2000. This first appointment introduced him to in the world of Digital Dentistry early in his career and marked the start of his love for digital workflows and cutting-edge dental technology. 

 

In 2001 he joined forces with a Dental Practice in the Algarve which gave him the opportunity to continue to expand his knowledge of digital workflows, build his experience and skills in ceramics, and which led to a special interest in full mouth rehabilitation with immediate loading All On X cases. 

 

Joao moved to London in 2013 where he secured appointments which enabled him to continue to focus on building his expertise and feed his passion for Digital Dentistry and Ceramics. 

 

In 2020 Joao seized the opportunity to become co-owner of London Digital Lab which provided the freedom to design and manage a laboratory centred around digital technologies and modern ceramic materials such as the Initial One SQIN system (GC). Joao’s dedication to perfecting his skills, choice of materials, techniques, and workflows, has resulted in his ability to consistently deliver outstanding aesthetics to his customers whilst maximising efficiencies and product performance.
