Dear Metalift,
I want to take this
opportunity to thank you for inventing and producing the Metalift Instrument.
I purchased this device only a few weeks ago and already it has greatly
altered and improved the delivery of dentistry in our practice.
Case History: 70-year-old
woman with PFM bridge with 3 retainers and 3 pontics on lower anterior.
This bridge was cemented with temp cement 10 years ago, however, the dentist
was unable to retrieve it for permanent cementation. Unfortunately one
of the retainers came loose and this abutment tooth became very sensitive
to the patient. In the past I would have tried to remove this bridge with
a back action bridge remover, which would have been traumatic and probably
ineffective. The alternate treatment plan would have been a redo of a
serviceable bridge at high cost to the patient and considerable stress
to an already anxious phobic dental patient.
With the Metalift,
the bridge was removed in 3 minutes, some slight caries was excavated
and bridge, permanently, re-cemented with a perfect fit 10 minutes later.
The time saving in the office was considerable, we generated excellent
revenue and the patient was extremely happy to save thousands of dollars
and the discomfort of a long dental procedure. This instrument has been
a fabulous addition to our armamentarium.
Yours sincerely,
P.B., D.D.S.

Dear Metalift,
Wow! What a pleasant
surprise. After many years of being disappointed with the purchases of
several different crown removal gizmos, I finally have a predictable easy
to use instrument.
I had read about the Metalift instrument and had seen it demonstrated
on models at several dental meetings. With much skepticism, I placed my
order a few weeks ago only with the guarantee that it could be returned
if I was not completely satisfied. Honestly, when the instrument arrived
and I watched the entire instructional video and read the accompanying
book, it seemed too good to be true.
To my delight the
instrument has worked just as advertised. During these past two months
I have used the instrument several times, to remove a three unit bridge,
a crown with fractured porcelain that was returned to the lab for soldering
of the access hole and new porcelain, a few crowns to evaluate for endodontic
therapy, a crown with carries around margins and removal of a few crowns
that needed replacements. This last example was actually easier than cutting
the entire crown. By following the instructions very carefully it has
only taken a few minutes to remove each crown. I find myself feeling more
comfortable using the system.
Your product has so
changed my outlook on crown removal, that I have recommended it and will
continue to recommend it to my colleagues.
Thank you for a great
product….
R.M.F., D.D.S.

To whom it may concern:
I have been using
your system for the past 9 months with significant success. In at least
80% of cases, I have been able to remove a full coverage restoration (primarily
porcelain fused to metal) with no untoward effect on the porcelain or
the fit of the crown. In addition, I have been able to successfully remove
up to a 5 unit fixed bridge.
The ability to view
the root morphology of a prepared tooth facilitates endodontic therapy
regardless, however, the ability to refit a crown without incurring costs
to the patient to re fabricate or to have to re-establish a goodly portion
of the occlusal surface is a tremendous boon. Much of my practice is re
treatment where the crown may have to be remade regardless. The ability
to retain the crown intact so that it may be relined to be re fit temporarily
is also a tremendous adjunct to quality care.
I would highly recommend
this product to anyone as a truly conservative approach to crown removal.
The only time I have and difficulty is usually a function of decay or
a soft base beneath the metal of the crown, which is not a fault of the
system, but rather of the preparation
Yours for better dentistry,
K.S.S., D.D.S., MMSc.

To whom it may concern:
After our phone conversation
last week I wanted to follow up on you with how pleased I am with my Metalift.
I have been doing crown and bridge work for over thirty years and have
constantly been in search of an instrument like this. I had seen it advertised
without really stopping to investigate for some time. In the last five
months I have used it several times and it works in the most remarkable
situations. This is a product I really believe in. If I were going to
have a dental supply business of just special items, this would be a must.
Sincerely,
W.L.S., D.M.D.

Dear Sir:
Today, excitement
was fully shown, as we were able to remove a 22-year-old 6-unit bridge
from #6-#11, with the Metalift Crown and Bridge Removal System.
The bridge was in
very good shape. After polishing and re cementation with the key in place,
composite was added over the access area. The patient was very pleased.
Also, my entire staff was happy and excited. I told my staff, "The
buck stops here" with the Metalift System.
Not only did I use it on a bridge today, but on a single unit. It, too,
came off without a hitch. And the time it saved me, was incredible. Also,
the video is well done. Good job to you folks at Metalift!
A Happy Dentist!

Dear Metalift System,
I am very pleased
with your system as it allows me several options when confronted with
an existing crown that needs same type of restorative treatment. Many
times the best treatment option is not known until the crown is removed.
Your system allows me to practice in a conservative way and in the best
interests of my patients. Your system has allowed me to improve my care
to my patients. My patients and I thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. D. H.

It was great talking
to you last week. Also, I enjoyed meeting you at the Chicago Mid-Winter
Meeting. You do a great job of presenting the Metalift System.
I have only removed one gold crown so far, but it was a snap and took
less than 5 minutes. However, I recently had my mouth restored by Dr.
D. Baird in Bellevue, Washington and introduced the Metalift to him. He
took 2 gold crowns and one porcelain/gold crown off for me and couldn’t
believe how easy it was. He is sold and will soon be ordering a Metalift
from you.
Dr. Baird is one of the foremost cosmetic dentists in the country. He
does a great deal of lecturing and hosts many study clubs and hands-on
clinics at his facility in Bellevue. I know he will give the Metalift
a super endorsement. You should get many orders from Northwest area and
from other dentists who take his courses.
So, as I mentioned to you on the phone, I would be especially pleased
to receive any rewards you may give to those who endorse the Metalift.
I feel this is a significant endorsement since I recommended the Metalift
to a doctor who will extol its virtues to hundreds of other doctors.
Sincerely,
Dr. R. M.

Dear Bob,
I wanted to drop you
a note before I forget to let you know about an experience that I had
using the Metalift System this morning in my office. I had seen a young
lady that had porcelain fused to metal crowns on teeth number’s
18 and 19 done by another dentist several years ago. Both teeth had abscessed
and were in need of root canal therapy and the facial porcelain was fractured
on #19 as well. One of her concerns (she is extremely esthetic conscious)
had to do with drilling through her crowns and the appearance and integrity
of the crowns thereafter. I informed her that I had recently purchased
the Metalift System and would be using this to attempt to remove her crowns
prior to her endodontic therapy in hopes of preventing me having to bore
large holds in her crowns to access the diseased nerves in her teeth.
I’m happy to say that our experience today with this system was
quite impressive. I was able to remove both crowns without much trouble
at all. Our endodontic therapy was easily accomplished and the porcelain
repairs (the fractured porcelain as well as the access holes for the keyway
were easily repaired. My patient was very pleased as well as impressed.
Thanks for your efforts in perfecting this system and getting it out there
in "clinical dentaland." I realize that this system is the result
of many years of experimentation and refinement before this product came
to market and just wanted to let you know of a success story that has
occurred down here in Cajun Country.

Dear Metalift,
I am very pleased
with the Metalift. Already it has saved me remakes on 3 crowns due to
open contacts. Instead of having to cut off the crowns I removed them
with the Metalift and had the contacts soldered to correct the open contact.
On root canals, I remove the crowns very easily and do the root canal
and therefore avoid a large access opening. The system works, but you
must practice with it and use it. These instructions with it are first
note and if used according to the instructions, I feel a 95% success rate
is easily achievable.
Thank you,
Dr. T. Z.

Dear Sir,
At the recent California
State Dental Meeting in San Francisco, I purchased your Metalift Crown
and Bridge Removal System. Since then I have salvaged several fixed prosthesis
where one abutment had failed. One case was seven-unit anterior porcelain
on noble metal bridge. This bridge was on a female patient who has undergone
extensive cancer treatment. She was very grateful not to have had the
expense of a new bridge. My technician was also able to repair the fractured
porcelain on the centrals while it was off.
Thanks to your great
video and technical manual, this technique was easy to master. You have
made some of my patients very happy and you have made my job much easier.
Wish I had this instrument 25 years ago. Thanks again and best wishes.
Sincerely,
Dr. D. M.

Dear Dr. Westerman,
Just a note to say
thanks for an innovative and affective time saver for dentistry. I’m
impressed! Have used it twice, successfully, in the week I’ve had
it. I’ve already talked to several colleagues about it. I honestly
don’t know how I’ve gotten along without it.
Thank you! Also, thanks to Sandy for her tips when I ordered the kit and
to Toni for answering my questions over the phone.
Most Sincerely,
Dr. J. E.

Dear Metalift,
Thank you for standing behind your product and replacing the piece that broke in my Metalift kit. Enclosed is the broken part, along with a replacement part, which I, mistakenly requested from you. Today I received from you the correct replacement part. I continue to be pleased with the major advancement you have accomplished in Crown and Bridge Removal. My patients are even more grateful than I am!
Appreciatively,

Dear Dr. Robert Westerman:
Thank you for the
replacement burs and Metalift Instrument. I didn’t think this instrument
would work, but to my surprise, it works great. The instrument pays for
itself in a few weeks. Endo access is 100% better if you can remove the
crown first.

Dear Metalift:
This is a follow up
to my phone call. After being in a practice 18 years and having done my
share of tapping and cutting apart crowns, this system has made my life
(and my patients) easier. It’s simple design and predictable results
make it a winner! My learning curve is still going on, but I have had
success even with my first attempt. Thanks for inventing a marvelous tool.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Westerman,
Metalift is a gem
of a device. I used it today to retro fit a composite build up to an old

To whom it may concern,
Patient appeared with
old six unit bridge #9 through #13 with porcelain fractured off of two
teeth and poor esthetics due to gum recession and exposure of _ crown
metal margins. Had much for RC-1 was after to remove old bridge, do RC
over build-ups of two teeth and then, after impressions, use the old bridge
for a very effective temporary. If I had not been able to use the old
bridge as a temporary I would not have been able to care for this patient
without making them a much longer approximately or making a temporary
bridge in advance. It took less than fifteen minutes to remove the bridge,
but this included the time necessary to unwrap my newly arrived Metalift,
read the directions and apply the components. It paid for itself twenty
minutes after arriving.
Dr. J. A.

To whom it may concern,
The Metalift System
is worth its weight in gold. I’ve only had the opportunity to use
it twice. Both times it saved the restoration and/or teeth/implants that
needed to be saved. The first rescue gave me "goose bumps" when
I felt the release of the cement. Very precise system, the keys to maintain
the potency of the tap hole are fabulous!

Dear Sandy,
The Metalift Crown
Removal System is the best crown removing system for preserving the crown
for later replacement that I have used in my 26 years of dentistry. It
comes with a technique manual and video to show the beginners how to carry
the procedure. For anyone wishing to preserve a crown or bridge for later
re cementation I fully recommend the Metalift.
