Dental Lab Milling Machines/ Dental Clinic Milling machines:

 The dental CNC milling machines used in dental labs and dental clinics only differ in their working efficiency. The milling machines used in labs are of heavy working efficiency and more powerful as compared to those used in dental clinics or dental chairside milling machines. Dental lab milling machines are also equipped with the facility to engage with multiple workflows for a long period of time to work continuously.
