The Advantages of an In-House Dental Lab for Custom Veneers and Crowns

Medically reviewed · 2 minute read

When investing in cosmetic dentistry—whether it is a single front crown or a full set of porcelain veneers—precision is everything. Yet, most dental offices scan or take impressions of your teeth and ship them to an off-site laboratory miles away. At AVF Dental Group, we do things differently with our in-house master dental lab.

Side-by-Side Shade Matching with a Master Ceramist

In a traditional setup, the technician fabricating your teeth never actually sees your face, skin tone, or adjacent teeth. They work off a digital photo and a color code. This frequently leads to restorations that look artificial or mismatch in natural daylight.

With an in-house lab, our Master Ceramist comes directly to the clinical chair. They analyze your natural shading, highlight distribution, and lip alignment under professional lighting, hand-characterizing your veneers or crowns for an indistinguishable fit.

Same-Day CEREC Crowns and Repairs

By utilizing advanced CAD/CAM scanning and on-site milling, we can fabricate custom, high-strength porcelain crowns in a single visit. There is no need to wear a fragile, uncomfortable temporary crown for weeks or return for a second anesthesia appointment.

Additionally, if a veneer or crown needs a minor adjustment, we can hand-glaze or refine it in our lab within minutes while you wait, rather than mailing it back and delaying your treatment.
