About REHA Zahntechnik
REHA Zahntechnik is a dental laboratory in Kriens in the canton of Lucerne, led by Hans Beat Renggli, Swiss Certified Dental Technician. The laboratory manufactures patient-individual dental prostheses as one-off custom fabrications: removable prosthetics such as full dentures, cast-frame, telescopic, conical, snap-button, attachment and bar dentures as well as immediate dentures and provisionals. In the area of fixed prosthetics, PFM crowns and bridges, all-ceramics made of E-Max and zirconia, and implant bridges on titanium frameworks are produced. Further areas of work include splints (Michigan, bleaching and bruxism splints, drilling and X-ray splints, sports guards, snoring splints), repairs, adjustments and relinings. Production combines traditional dental technology with digital processes: 3D printing for models, try-ins, splints, drilling guides and SLM tertiary frameworks, as well as milling via a network of Swiss milling centres. As a member of the Association of Swiss Dental Laboratories (VZLS), the laboratory commits to its principles. The wheelchair-accessible laboratory on the ground floor is directly accessible to patients.
