Dental Technologies is a small crown and bridge laboratory made up of talented restorative technicians. Together we have 75+ years of lab experience and attended numerous hands on courses including, (Pankey Institute, Asami Tanaka, Aki Yoshida, Masahiro Kuwata, Peter Pizzi, Brad Jones, Vanik Jinoian, Russell DeVreugd, Gilbert Young, Brian Lindke, Kris Kersten, Carl Rousseau).
Our clients include general dentists and prosthodontists in various locations around the country as well as Colorado. We have chosen to limit our services to what we do best. This has enabled us to maintain a consistent level of quality, service and a controlled growth to our business.
One of our greatest assets is our ability to provide personal and individualized attention to our doctors and meet the changing restorative preferences in our industry.
We have invested in ourselves through continuing education and involvement in study groups as well as systems and technology.
We have been actively involved in Cad Cam technology for over 10 years and familiar with a wide range of digital systems and work flows.

What to expect:
- A custom shade appointment, at our lab, will take approximately 15-30 minutes. The appointment includes photos and gathering information to complete your case.
- Please be aware, if you are bleaching your teeth, you must have completed the process and allow 3-5 days before coming for the custom shade appointment. Crowns cannot be bleached.
- The shade appointment is an opportunity to share your concerns and expectations. It also provides an opportunity for us to make you aware of any limitations we might foresee with your case.
- Having the precise information such as the shade(s) and an understanding of the characteristics such as craze lines, decalcifications, wear, and unique coloration can help reduce the potential for delays and returns to the lab for corrections.

We understand the importance of timely delivery and are happy to work with your staff to insure your cases are completed and in your off ice when you want them. For rush cases, please call the lab to schedule. There may be an additional fee.
REMAKE POLICY
Remake fees are often a touchy, frustrating topic and are costly to both the doctor and laboratory. Our remake policy is exactly that, a policy not a rule. Open and honest communica ton is the best policy when it comes to remake issues.
With the use of the stereo microscope we make every effort to detect any problems or errors before fabrication begins and we use the microscope during several procedures of fabrication to insure accuracy. Remakes are evaluated on an individual basis. We require and appreciate the return of old models, impressions, and prosthesis for evaluation whenever possible.
