Zirconia products for dental applications may seem out of reach due to the costs associated with the material, but at Dental
Lab, we're committed to helping more professionals access and use the product for better patient results. Unlike some
laboratories that use sub-par materials or questionable manufacturing methods in an attempt to achieve lower costs, we
pay strict attention to producing our crystal powder and pressed block products according to the most stringent of standards.
At the same time, however, we focus on eliminating unnecessary in-house costs, including many inefficiencies overlooked
by other labs, so we can provide our clients with exceptional products and services that meet a wide range of budgets.
Some dental patients may be taken aback by the offering of zirconia for dental implants and related products --after all, most
people are used to thinking of the material in terms of its use in fashion jewelry. Professional dentists, however, know that a
great product made from this material can easily and permanently improve the look and the durability of patients' smiles, and
many dentists are choosing to work primarily with this versatile material for their prosthetics. Dental Lab is proud to offer a family
of products and services utilizing this crystal powder and its pressurized, solid blocks to help dentists provide the very best items
to their patients without the need for an in-house laboratory capable of designing and fabricating individual pieces.

product integrity and consistency are absolutely vital for the survival of your practice. We operate a thoroughly modern laboratory
complemented with the best equipment available today to create dental products that will impress both you and your patients. Our

reduction with rounded internal line angles; or a Shoulder with 1.5 - 2 mm occlusal reduction, 1.5 mm buccal and lingual

Chamfer Margins - Correct preparation of the chamfer margins interproximally allows the appropriate bulk of porcelain.
In addition, Lava has a digital wax up to bulk up the zirconia substructure when extra support for the ceramic is needed.
A Slice Preparation - This technique enables the ceramist to close the space and avoid unnatural lingual contours.
