Pros:

1. Precision and quality: With lab milling, you get the benefit of the expertise and skill from the lab technicians themselves. Dental labs, equipped with advanced technology and experience technicians, can achieve intricate details that may be challenging with chairside alternatives.
2. Diverse material options: Dental labs provide a range of material options for milling, catering to complex cases that may require specialised materials. This flexibility is a key advantage.

Cons:

1. Turnaround time: Unfortunately, outsourcing any process will increase your waiting time. Consider the impact on patient scheduling and set expectations accordingly.
2. Communication challenges: Effective communication between the dentist and the dental lab is crucial. Miscommunication can lead to delays in the production process and potentially affect patient timelines. If working with your lab is right for you, an intraoral scanner can vastly improve your teamworking.

Factors to consider:

1. Case complexity: Consider the nature of your cases. Chairside milling may excel in straightforward cases, while lab milling could be preferable for intricate restorations.
2. Budget and resources: Evaluate your budget and available resources. While chairside milling comes with an initial investment, lab milling may require ongoing collaboration expenses.
3. Training and skill level: Assess the proficiency of your team. Chairside milling necessitates trained personnel, while lab milling requires effective communication and coordination with dental technicians.
