The artist behind every crown, bridge, and denture
Dental lab technicians create custom restorations like crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant components based on dentist prescriptions. They combine artistry with science in a precise, detail-oriented lab environment.
You pour stone models from dental impressions, design a zirconia crown using CAD software, layer porcelain for a natural shade match, trim and polish a partial denture, and package finished cases for delivery to dental offices. Precision and artistry define your day.
