Baluke Now Accepting
Digital Imprressions
|
|
The CADENT iTero digital impression system is so predictable, accurate and cost effective that Duane Baluke gives it his personal seal of approval.
Gone are the days of impressions with voids, pulls, or tearing. Without a doubt, the precision offered by the iTero digital impression system is unmatched.
The digital scan is, quite literally, digitally perfect. This type of precision eliminates the need to reimpress patients and renders remakes all but a thing of the past. By removing the imprecision inherent with conventional impression materials, you are able to deliver consistently impressive work your patients trust you to provide.
The learning curve for dentists and clinicians adopting iTero is modest. A Cadent certified Clinical Trainer provides comprehensive training to get your office up and running in just a matter of days. iTero also fosters easier communication channels between the dentist and laboratory. What’s more, should questions arise, there is always a digital file for the laboratory and dentist to reference while consulting about a case on-line.
Baluke is so impressed with this proven technology that we are offering a presentation right here in our lab’s education centre. Contact Richard Murray for a demostration.

"Triluxe Crown" milled by
The Sirona InLab®
|
"NEW Triluxe Crown"
Using The Sirona InLab® CAD/CAM we can create all ceramic TRI-coloured crowns, which will require no colour adjustment, saving you time and money and a HAPPY patient. The crown is milled from a solid block of ceramic. The Triluxe Crown has the strength a posterior all-Ceramic crown needs. By using new advanced engineered materials we will create crowns with finer nuances of shade transition from the enamel to the neck of the crown, with more intense colour saturation and increased fluorescence in the cervical area. This corresponds to the fluorescence of natural teeth. Meaning unsurpassed shade effects & Natural dentition.
Request our "NEW" Triluxe Crown; you will be amazed at the result.

The Marius Bridge   |
The Marius Bridge is an exclusive new implant-supported overdenture system developed by Dr. Yvan Fortin. It is semi-fixed and therefore easy to clean and easy to repair. There is no need for a bone graft. The dentures look natural, fit precisely with no movement making them comfortable to wear and, because the palate is completely exposed, patients are able to speak naturally.
The system is constructed with a precision fitted, ultra thin, two-piece CAD/CAM milled titanium arc called the Mesobar. It is permanently secured to the patient with four or five implants. A corresponding titanium attachment bar is embedded in an acrylic denture and secures the dentures precisely to the Mesobar.
Please contact George Sarudi @ 1.800.263.3099 ext #17 for details.

CE Availability

"LUNCH & LEARN"
As most are aware, the Toronto continuing education market for dentists is saturated with options. But that doesn’t mean that the needs of all Dentists in Ontario are being met. Many outside of the GTA must travel long distances to get their CE points because little is available in their area. Baluke is looking to change that.
Our salespeople can present Protocols for Enhanced Aesthetic Dentistry as a lunch and learn in your own office for 2 CE points. And, given sufficient demand, Baluke will put together a seminar with professional speakers on any subject. Please contact Richard Murray or Sara Della Pietra with your ideas and requests.

Affordable Dentures for
OWA and ODSP Patient
|
|
Baluke is now offering affordable dentures to dentists and denturists who supply OWA ODSP patients. Our low-cost dentures come complete with teeth and up to two clasps. Bite blocks and trays are not included.
The special rate is for dentists and denturists who have contracted with the government to provide dentures to OWA and ODSP recipients (and covered dependents as verified by their plan administrator). Dentists and denturists can choose to contract with the government to provide dentures to OWA and ODSP recipients. Once this service contract is accepted, it is not permitted to charge a patient any fees in addition to the rates fixed by their local OWA and ODSP provider.
As these rates are often set far below market value, and in some cases even below cost, many patients are declined service. To allow more patients in need access to economy dentures, Baluke offers to dentists and denturists the following special pricing.
Low-Cost Complete Dentures:
| Acrylic Partials |
$220 |
| Cast Partials |
$239 |
| Full Dentures |
$205 |
