We rebuilt our Sintering Schedule page from the ground up — and while we were in there, we tightened up several of the programs themselves. Here's what's new.

Recognition Highlights Alien Milling Technologies' Commitment to Innovation, Quality, and Performance We are proud to announce that Alien Zirconia has been selected as one of Dentistry Today's Top 100 Products of 2026—an honor that recognizes products making a significant impact on the dental profession. This recognition reflects the trust that dental laboratories and clinicians have placed in Alien Zirconia and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional restorative materials. Since its introduction, Alien Zirconia has been developed with one goal in mind: helping dental professionals create restorations that are beautiful, durable, and predictable. Every batch is validated in real-world production at...

Can conventional restorative techniques still have a place in today's digital dental landscape? In this published study, Dr. Les Kalman and Lina Kalman explore a novel workflow that combines traditional dentine pin-retained restorations (pinlays) with modern digital technologies, including intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, digital shade matching, thermography, and zirconia milling. The investigation demonstrates how classic restorative principles can be enhanced through digital dentistry to create conservative, durable, and efficient treatment options. Alien Milling was honored to contribute to this research project and am excited to share the published article with the dental community. Read the full published paper below.

At Alien Milling Technologies, we're always looking for ways to improve communication between dental laboratories and clinicians while reducing turnaround times and remakes. That's why we're excited to announce that we have implemented Dental Design Review (DDR) as part of our digital workflow. DDR allows dental laboratories to securely share restoration designs with doctors for review and approval before manufacturing, creating a faster, more collaborative experience for everyone involved. Why This Matters for Dental Laboratories For years, one of the biggest challenges in digital dentistry has been obtaining timely design approvals. Emails get buried, screenshots fail to tell the whole...

The dental industry is constantly evolving, with new materials emerging to improve strength, esthetics, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. Alien Milling Technologies is excited to introduce G-CAM™ Graphene-Reinforced CAD/CAM Discs, an innovative material that combines advanced PMMA technology with the power of graphene. Designed for a wide range of removable and implant-supported restorations, G-CAM offers dental laboratories a lightweight, durable, and highly esthetic solution for today's digital workflows. What Makes G-CAM Different? Graphene is one of the strongest materials known and has gained attention across multiple industries for its exceptional mechanical properties. By incorporating graphene into a high-performance biopolymer, G-CAM creates...
