How do I ship cases and what are the fees involved?
As part of our all-star service we offer shipping to and from our dental lab for a minimal fee of $5.00 per order.  All impressions & bites should be disinfected and bagged before sending and all models should be wrapped properly to avoid damage, please staple the RX form to the OUTSIDE of the bag and then place in a box.  We use UPS for most of our shipping as well as the USPS and Go-fer-it (a local carrier).  Please use the appropriate label and follow the protocol for scheduling a UPS pick-up.  When possible, please send multiple cases in one box. We will provide shipping boxes and labels upon request or you can pre-print, schedule and track your own labels from our website.
Does your lab offer minimal/no prep veneers?
Yes, we have been doing minimal/no prep veneers at TDL for over 30 years.  We can now do IPS e.Max for minimal and no prep veneers and have a beautiful result with a lot more strength than refractory.  They can be a great solution for patients not wanting their teeth prepped down, with a diastema to close, or as a smile enhancement option.  They cannot solve every problem, for tetracycline, dark or misaligned teeth, more reduction is required.  We can do small shade changes along with shape adjustments to create a better smile.  These veneers can be as thin as 0.3 mm thus helping to keep the veneers from being bulky.  We recommend doing a wax presentation case prior to these cases so that we can evaluate if any reduction is needed to achieve the desired results.
Can you accept Digital Impression Files?
Yes, we have been working with digital impressions since 2009 and we are happy to accept digital files from all the major digital impression companies.  We welcome the opportunity to take care of your digital needs, to find out more about integration with digital impressions please contact us anytime.
Do you outsource your work to dental labs in foreign countries?
No, our crown & bridge restorations are proudly manufactured in the USA.  As a Certified Dental Laboratory, we only use the highest quality name brand materials purchased from reputable, well-known suppliers in the dental industry.  We believe in the safety of your patients and our technicians and choose material that meets ADA standards.  You will receive an Ident-Alloy or Ident- Ceram sticker with each case listing the materials used for the substructure.
