TECHCERAM is based near Shipley, West Yorkshire in the UK and was formed in September 1996, following six years of research and development work.

TECHCERAM has developed and patented a unique flame spray process to manufacture alumina single unit ceramic substructures, which subsequently have Techceram Flex-Al  dental porcelain applied to make dental restorations such as crowns, onlays and veneers. This technology replaces the metal base layers which have been used traditionally.

TECHCERAM is ISO9001:2000 and ISO13485:2003 accredited and is committed to product innovation and customer service. TECHCERAM has its own in-house dental laboratory, TTC Ltd which has full DAMAS accreditation.

TTC uses the patented flame spray technology to manufacture the coloured alumina substructures for single unit restorations e.g. crown, onlays and veneers.

TTC also uses CAD/CAM technology from 3MESPE to manufacture coloured lava zirconia substructures for multiple and single unit restorations e.g. bridges and crowns. This is an ideal restoration for the private, top end all-ceramic market.

TTC also uses CAD/CAM technology from Sirona (Cerec MCXL inlab) to manufacture coloured Zircad Zirconia substructures for multiple and single unit restorations. Zircad is an ideal ceramic alternative to precious metal bonded restorations.

TTC has recently added the e-max Pressable Glass Ceramic technology from Ivoclar in order to serve the growing market demand for high strength Inlays/Veneers and press to Zirconia solutions.

TTC now supplies over 200 dental laboratories in the UK and Ireland with ceramic substructures, which are then processed with the application of compatible dental porcelains to produce the final all-ceramic dental restorations.
