One of the highlights of the Shane Hansen award evening was hearing from Meghan, last year’s recipient of the award, as she shared her experience from her advanced implant training in Egypt.

It was clear to everyone in the room that opportunities like this develop individual skill; and raise the standard for the profession as a whole.

We are incredibly proud of you Meghan, you embody exactly what this award was created to support.

The people behind the work.

DiCeram has always been built on relationships. Between technicians and clinicians, between planning and production, and most importantly between the people who show up every day to make it happen.

While technology continues to shape the future of dentistry, the quality of the outcome still depends on the people involved. Experience, judgment and collaboration remain at the centre of everything we do.

We’re proud of the team that makes DiCeram what it is.

Ceramics sit at the intersection of digital planning and manual craftsmanship.

While digital workflows define the restoration’s position, occlusion and overall morphology, the final aesthetic outcome still depends on how ceramics are layered, shaped and finished by hand.

Subtle control of translucency, value, surface texture and characterisation is what allows a restoration to integrate naturally.

Our head ceramicist, Phill, brings over 30 years of ceramic experience to this process, translating digital design into restorations that behave optically and functionally like natural enamel.

Digital precision provides the blueprint.
Human expertise delivers the final result.

Honouring the Eagle

Shane’s journey into dentistry began unexpectedly at the Simon’s Town Naval Base dental laboratory, where he discovered the craft that would shape his life.

From humble beginnings in a converted garage on Bowwood Road, Shane built what would become DiCeram. Phillip joined him in the early days, forming a partnership built on vision, discipline, and loyalty. In 2027, Phillip celebrates 25 years with the business they helped grow together.

Shane believed craftsmanship and integrity mattered more than recognition. Every case leaving the lab had to meet the highest standard, and nothing less than perfection was accepted. He gave generously of his time, worked tirelessly for clients, and always believed in doing things properly.

Despite the respect he earned within the dental industry, Shane remained deeply humble. He valued fairness, accountability, loyalty, and hard work, and created opportunities for those around him to grow.

Outside the lab, Shane loved golf, good conversation, and celebrating life. Known for his phrase “one for the road,” he embraced every moment fully.

Within the lab, Shane became known as “The Eagle,” with the phrase “The Eagle has landed” becoming part of DiCeram’s culture — a symbol of his leadership and unwavering standards.

Shane’s legacy lives on through the people he mentored, the business he built, and the values he instilled.

The Eagle may have landed, but his legacy continues to soar.
