| It's official - Springtime is here!
The exact timing of "spring" varies according to local climate and customs, but is usually directed around the spring equinox. This is the time of year when the length of the day increases as the season progresses, and warmer weather creeps in. Spring and "springtime" can also refer to the ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. We hope this spring brings you a happy St. Patrick's Day and a sense of renewal for you and your team!

| KNIGHT'S NEWEST ACHIEVEMENT | | KDG Becomes an Advanced Certified Captek Provider In February, Knight received Advanced Certification from Captek™. The Advanced Certified Captek™ status is only achieved through additional training, testing, and knowledge that goes well beyond other labs. Working with Knight Dental Group means you can have complete confidence when needing a metal collar for sensitive tissue, additional occlusal support for stamp cusps and cases with risky occlusion, stress-free implant bridges, precise fitting long-span bridges with multiple pontics, and metal islands/linguals for areas short on clearance. As a provider of Advanced Certified Captek™ restorations, Knight Dental Group holds a position shared by less than 1% of dental labs. That means you can count on Knight Dental Group for advanced Captek™ solutions using the stronger and more versatile Captek Nano™ materials.

| DARE TO BE GREAT | | New KDG Courses Give You the Tools for Success Total patient satisfaction is the direct result of the dental team's mastery of a comprehensive evaluation and complete understanding of their individual needs and desires, and ultimately synchronizing this information with detailed, customized diagnosis, treatment planning, sequencing and timing.

| AUTHENTIC BRUXZIR LAB | | Another Way Knight Helps You Keep Your Promise You'll be impressed with the strength of the BruxZir Solid Zirconia crown when prescribed instead of metal occlusal posterior PFMs and full-cast metal restorations. Designed and milled using CAD/CAM technology, BruxZir restorations are nearly "bulletproof" and are glazed to a smooth surface. Patient Benefits - Ideal for bruxers & grinders who have destroyed other restorations.
- An alternative to posterior PFMs with metal occlusals & full-cast crowns.
- Conservatively prepare as thin as 0.5 mm with feather edge margins, much like you would cast gold.
See the coupon at the bottom of this email to receive your first BruxZir crown from Knight for only $99! |
