Really need some advice here guys. I'm just starting a new position as an "in house" tech for a 6 chair practice in Hong Kong having been out of dentistry for a couple of years since moving here from the UK as dental tech jobs in HK are few and far between! Two of the dentists are C&B specialists, one specializing in implant work and uses only Nobel implants and the other a cosmetic specialist who's very keen on eMax pressable for veneering and crowns and both do a lot of inlays and onlays. At my previous lab in the UK we used both systems and did a lot of Alumina work for anterior cosmetic cases and a lot of zirconia bridge work. My new lab has no equipment yet and we're in the process of putting everything together.
So I will be getting pretty much the full eMax system and my new boss has all but committed to buying the Nobel Light scanner, which is fine with me as I had been using it regularly in the UK so am familiar with it. But he's not familiar with the alumina side of things and the lovely GC Initial porcelain that we were using in the UK is not available here so I'm not sure if we'll be doing any alumina work (in fact my old lab in UK have told me that they stopped doing alumina).
So I'm now wondering if the Nobel scanner is a sensible choice as the bulk of what I'll be doing with it would seem to be mainly abutments and Zi bridges (their Zirconia is so difficult to achieve a decent aesthetic result with such limited shading options). Which other systems should I be looking at or is the Nobel scanner the right choice for a very small lab (just me to start with) where volume production isn't a priority.
