Babichenko Dental Lab Joins the SensAble Authorized Production Center Program

Full-Service Idaho Lab Offers Digital Design and Fabrication Services to Other Dental Labs Using the SensAble Dental Lab System.

WOBURN, MA – SensAble Technologies, Inc, a provider of haptic devices and touch-enabled modeling solutions, announced that Babichenko Dental Laboratory of Meridian, Idaho has joined the SensAble Authorized Production Center (SAPC) Program. SAPCs create fixed and removable dental restorations for their own dentists using the SensAble Dental Lab System, an award-winning dental CAD/CAM system, and are certified to provide design and/or fabrication services to other dental labs.

Because not every lab is ready for a full scan/design/fabricate system, SensAble Authorized Production Centers make it easier for dental labs of all sizes to take incremental steps toward digital technologies – and gain the increased productivity, accuracy, and consistency that they allow. Labs can deploy only the Scan/Design configuration of the SensAble Dental Lab System and then send the files electronically to Babichenko for printing a resin pattern, which can be returned to the lab for casting. Alternately, Babichenko can provide a finished chrome framework or coping to the lab.

SensAble Authorized Production Centers ensure consistent, high-quality results by using only SensAble-approved fabrication methods and adhering to strict quality standards to remain “SensAble-certified.” These SensAble Authorized Production Centers gain marketing exposure from SensAble, and provide a valuable service to other dental labs whose business models support outsourcing digital design or production rather than investing in a complete system.

“We’re committed to providing quality and choice to our dentists and the dental lab community as a whole, and that’s exactly what becoming a SensAble Authorized Production Center allows us to do,” said Henry Babichenko, owner of Babichenko Dental Lab, one of Idaho’s largest and most technologically advanced full service dental labs. “With SensAble’s system we are designing restorations at least 70 percent faster, and delivering parts that fit so precisely that our dentists need little or no time at all to fit them on a patient.”

“Digital dentistry is transforming the industry, and whether dental labs bring CAD/CAM inhouse or outsource, SensAble is committed to giving labs of all sizes a path to the digital future,” said Bob Steingart, president of SensAble Dental Products. “We’re delighted to work with leaders like Babichenko to offer a wider range of technology options so that labs can adopt whatever processes make the most sense for their business.”
