Where Artistry Meets Precision
The Dental Ceramics Lab at The Center
The Dental Ceramics Laboratory at The Center is where education meets execution. Every restoration we create reflects the same principles we teach in our hands on programs precision, collaboration, and long-term function.
We offer a complete range of restorative services, including aesthetic ceramics, digital smile design, full-arch implant prosthetics, and functional diagnostic workups. Our team partners closely with clinicians to align treatment goals, material selection, and occlusal design, resulting in restorations that are both esthetically refined and biomechanically sound.
With in-house digital design systems and experienced technicians, we provide the support, insight, and craftsmanship necessary to turn complex treatment plans into predictable clinical success.
Our Laboratory Services
Diagnostic Wax Up
How It Works
Submit Records – Send photos, models or scans, bite, and your esthetic/functional goals.
Design & Planning – Our team designs the proposed outcome based on facial, occlusal, and tooth proportion principles.
Wax-Up Creation – We fabricate a precise diagnostic wax-up or digital design ready for mock-up and communication.
Clinical Application – Use provided matrices/templates chairside to preview the result and guide preparation.
Our diagnostic wax-ups serve as the foundation for functional and aesthetic treatment planning. Each case is designed to reflect proper tooth proportion, occlusion, and smile harmony — helping both you and your patient visualize the final outcome before preparation begins.
Restoratives
How It Works
Rx & Case Review – You select materials and share case details, photos, and any special instructions.
Digital/Analog Design – We design each restoration for proper fit, occlusion, and esthetics.
Fabrication & Finishing – Restorations are milled, layered, finished, and verified for accuracy.
Delivery Ready – Cases are packaged, labeled, and sent seat-ready with minimal adjustment expected.
From single-unit veneers to full-mouth rehabilitations, our restorations combine digital precision with handcrafted artistry. Every crown, bridge, and veneer is fabricated with a focus on marginal accuracy, occlusal harmony, and natural esthetics that blend seamlessly in the mouth.
Custom Shading
How It Works
Schedule Shade Appointment – You or your patient book an in-person custom shading session.
Visual Assessment – Our technician evaluates tooth shade, translucency, texture, and surrounding dentition under proper lighting.
Customization Plan – Specific layering, stains, and characterization are mapped for that individual case.
Final Match – The restoration is finished to match the agreed shade profile for a seamless, natural result.
Our on-site custom shading service allows clinicians to achieve precise color matching for even the most challenging cases. Working directly with our ceramic artists ensures each restoration complements the patient’s natural dentition under real lighting conditions.
Work directly with our laboratory team to bring your cases to life. Whether you’re planning your first wax-up or refining shade details, we’re here to make the process simple, efficient, and predictable.
