What makes a Good (right) Dental Lab

 

Be a Lucky Dentist

You get what you paid for.

We all want the best, but sometimes the price just can’t be justified. Patients want the best crowns, the most esthetic crowns, the strongest crowns, and the most natural crowns as soon as possible. Yes, you can get crowns made at a “factory setting” where crowns are printed out cheaper with speed in mind, not the patients. However this compromises the quality and durability of the restoration.

At Maestro, we don’t compromise. When the cases become personal and a representation of the technicians, the quality will improve without the price increase. In this article, we will help you choose the dental lab that you can trust, and a lab that you can build a good friendship and partnership with. And show you why Maestro matters.

Qualities such as using FDA approved materials, teeth hand crafted and milled by certified skilled technicians in the USA, and timely turnaround times are extremely basic factors that all dental labs must have. So, without further ado, here are the list of requirements and qualities that you- as a dentist- may consider when deciding on a lab to grow with your practice. Focus on reliability, dependability, accuracy, and skills, and start a partnership that will last throughout your practice years.

 

1. At least 15 years of Experience 

(Only long grinding time produces the Experts)

Experienced and trained by countless complex cases and growing with successes and learning from failures, our lab has grown in the past 15 years to become the reliable lab that we are today. We are not perfect- no lab can be- but we grow and gain insightful and valuable knowledge, judgment, and skills to aid every dentist in creating the most desirable restoration for the patient. Our lab’s foundation is created by the same technicians who currently continue to build and add onto our legacy.

2. Full-Service Lab

Dental labs should be equipped and well versed in multiple different cases, not just a select few. When a lab only provides a specific service rather than offering a wide range or restoration types, are they a “specialty” lab or just under qualified? With years of experience in a variety of cases, Maestro Dental Lab is the “one stop for all” solution that will save you from juggling between lab and limited options. You may be surprised to finally encounter and experience the lab of your dreams.

3. Guaranteed Warranty and After Service

How many “redo” can a single case go through?

Finding the right tooth to fit with the patient is a very difficult task. From shades to shapes, multiple factors can be the reason for a patient to be dissatisfied with their restoration. As a dentist, you only charge a patient once for their tooth. The same applies to our lab. Just because the tooth doesn’t sit the way that the patient desires, we will not charge you again. Integrity and honesty is a strong value in our lab, and charging a single tooth from the same patient multiple times does not sit right with us. Redos are a basic accommodation, and satisfaction is guaranteed with a full warranty period for every single case. 

 

4. Open Lab – Guest Waiting Room

Maestro Dental Studio is one of the few dental studios that proudly invite patients and doctors to visit. Seeing and understanding that each case is handled in a clean, organized, and safe environment adds on to the trust that a lab can provide to the doctors and patients. 

With a comfortable waiting area for patients, sending your patients in for a custom shade match is no longer a hassle. With welcoming and speedy service, Maestro will make sure your patients walk out our door with a smile on their face.
