Hello Community Members,

Dental labs are run by dental lab technicians. These technicians fill prescriptions from dentists for various dental supplies such as dentures, prosthetics, crowns and bridges. Using an impression of the patient's bite and mouth, the technicians are able to create a wax mold of a particular tooth or set of teeth. The technicians carefully examine the model by noting the size and shape of the teeth as well as any obvious gaps or misshapen teeth. This wax mold is then used to create the metal framework for a dental prosthetic such as dentures or crowns. Finally, the metal tooth is covered with porcelain that matches the color of the patient's teeth. When finished, the prosthetic looks like a perfect replica of the original tooth. A dental lab is a laboratory consisting of various dental supplies and specializing in creating crowns, implants, bridges and other dental products. Dental labs work closely with dentists to supply them with various equipment and other needs to make their practice more efficient.
