Prosthodontics, which includes denture-making, tooth restoration
and tooth recontouring, is a practice in dentistry that aims to
restore patients’ teeth to their normal functions and natural
look as much as possible. Recognizing the significance of prosthodontics
to the successful restoration of patients’ dental health, Dental
Design Clinic and Lab has set up a dental lab within its premises.
Such an in-house lab will allow better communication and closer
collaboration between dentists and dental-lab technicians, resulting
in faster completion of work than that done in commercial dental
labs. This also means work of high quality as well as a completely
natural appearance that will meet patients’ expectations.
The ultimate goal of the in-house lab is to provide our patients
with work of exceptional quality in the following three areas:
Precision
As with dentists, all technicians in our lab are required to wear
magnifying loupes while working to ensure that the size and shape
of finished work perfectly fit for each individual case. Not only
does precision help dentists to work faster and more efficiently,
but it also increases patients’ confidence and reduces their
chair time or the number of their clinical visits.
Contour and Color
Color and shape need particular attention in all prosthodontic work,
especially that which is done for aesthetic purposes. Our lab requires
that the color of each product be checked against that of the patient’s
natural teeth. To achieve a natural-looking effect that meets the
patient’s expectations and satisfaction, a digital image of
the patient’s teeth is taken and used while the work is being
crafted. In some cases, samples of different contours and colors
are tried with patients during their clinical visits.
Function
With our in-house lab, any problems related to the contour, color,
and function of the prosthodontic work are removed quickly. A dentist
can send for a lab technician to discuss a problem next to the patient’s
chair and note the patient’s request. Adjustment of the product
can be done promptly with such direct information and feedback,
reducing the patient’s clinical visits.
Crafted by experienced specialists, prosthodontic work at Dental
