Bellarine Dental Castings is a specialised Cast Partial Denture laboratory in Clifton Springs, Geelong, Victoria. It provides precision chrome casting services for its Dental Prosthetist and Dental Lab customers and is renowned for the quality and consistency of its fabrications.
Owner Michael Arnold has over 40+ years of lab tech experience. Michael is laser-focused on delivering the highest quality products and customer experience. “Our whole team is always thinking about every step beyond our lab to our lab and practitioner customers and their patients. When we do that, we know that our customers never need to question our motivation and can rely 100% on what we deliver."
The most critical aspects of cast partial denture fabrication are the suitability of the framework design and the precision of the finished denture. Ultimately, it’s about patient comfort, which requires careful attention to detail in design and absolute fabrication accuracy.
According to Michael, “Our approach to quality and precision is really quite simple, despite it being something that few do exceptionally well. Our use of the Dentaurum system, from the Megapuls casting machine and high-quality system materials, is central to the quality we deliver.”
Precision casting relies on precision equipment and materials. It all starts with the Megapuls casting machine. “There are many reasons why we use Megapuls”, Michael continues. “The first is the accuracy of heating.
The alloy is heated quickly to precisely the correct working range. The accuracy ensures predictable alloy expansion behaviour and an absence of brittleness. Again – it’s about quality and reliability. This is critical.
Each machine can easily manage twelve continuous jobs, with every one maintaining the exact temperature range for effective casting. “
“We also love the way it’s so easy to use, which elevates productivity. We’ve been using Megapuls for over ten years now, and the reliability is something to behold. With periodic maintenance, it just keeps going. Parts and support are always readily available. There’s never an issue”.
"The Megapuls unit is also surprisingly affordable, both to initially purchase and to operate over time. Particularly so, given how central it is to our business and the quality of the technology."
Michael is passionate about the system approach he employs at Bellarine Dental Castings. “Megapuls delivers the same benefits to our business as every Dentaurum product we use. The quality and consistency of performance enable us to refine and maintain predictable workflows that make us very efficient. There’s no wasted time dealing with variables and no redo’s.
As long as we follow our fabrication processes, the results are always 100%. I genuinely believe that it’s crucial to the performance of our business.”
“We use Dentaurum Dublitop duplicating material, Remanium 800+ alloy, and Rema Exakt F investment material. All of these perform exactly as we expect every single time.
“The bottom line is the accuracy and reliability of Megapuls, and the Dentaurum chrome casting system materials deliver financial value to our business. It’s all there in black and white”.
The Dentaurum Megapuls casting machine is a very compact, high-frequency centrifugal casting unit that can be used for all casting requirements within a dental laboratory. It is suitable for non-precious and precious metal alloys (except titanium).
The machine is known for its easy operation and high centrifugal strength, which help produce perfect casting results, even for detailed technical work.
