Frequently Asked Questions
You can send in a case by visiting the Doctor portal and following the instructions.
Next day service is available for broken dentures or dentures that need teeth added. If the case is picked up before 4 pm, it will be returned by 3 pm the next day.
Just let us know and we will arrange for the patient to be in the lab for a custom shade. If the color is still off, we can perform an in-lab custom stain.
It's usually best to let the teeth' shade "set" for about 2 weeks before taking their final shade.
In that case, Rahim can come to your office to discuss the treatment step by step if you call us ahead of time.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. The Valplast partial does not meet our standards due to the extensive work required to repair it.
The Art & Cosmetic Dental Lab is a place where patients care more about their looks than anywhere else. Schedule a consultation with our laboratory technician for your patient if you wish. As part of the occlusion and dentition evaluation, the shade of the patient is taken, material choices are discussed.
Of course, we do! All of our products are manufactured in the United States, including both the design and fabrication of all restorations.
Fix restorations generally take seven business days in the lab and removable procedures could take from the next day to 4-5 days, depending on the step. The entire process of creating a removable one may take up to two weeks.
As we know, there are sometimes extenuating circumstances that require a case to be rushed, and we do everything in our power to accommodate those cases.
Consequently, since we will have to disrupt the intricate schedule of our normal case flow, often requiring our technicians to work overtime and outside of normal business hours, there is a rush fee for these cases. The rush fee will be quoted when the case is called in and pre-scheduled.
The most common question we receive is this one; please include the following to ensure the best results.
1- Arch of the prep with partial in place (to ensure correct placement of the partial denture on the arch).
2- Arch of the prep without the partial (for accurate margin placement on the prep)
3- Opposing
4- If the partial remains in the lab during the whole fabrication process, bite registration with the partial.
5- If the partial returns to the patient the same day, bite registration without it.
Unfortunately, we cannot see patients without a dentist's permission. As a rule of law, a dental laboratory cannot treat patients without the full supervision of a dentist. If you do not have a dentist, we can refer you to one. Please call our office during our regular business hours.
