Brings Smiles to Life

Your Best Functioning smile
Under One Roof

Most dental offices source restorations from an outside dental laboratory, relinquishing quality control in the manufacturing process. At Spectrum Dental and Prosthodontics, restorative solutions are created at our in-house dental lab by expert ceramists and technicians, who work closely with our expert prosthodontists. We hold complete quality control and oversight throughout every step of the fabrication process instead of relying on external laboratories. From crowns and bridges and dentures to full mouth dental implants, we use premium materials and evidence-based technologies to deliver the highest quality prosthetics.

Our in-house lab provides our team with 100% quality control because we can oversee every step in your treatment, including the fabrication of your prosthesis. Digitally aided design and fabrication streamline the process of creating precise restorations, eliminating the need for major adjustments.

Personalized aesthetics,
For customized results

Our  master ceramist and dental lab technicians deliver fully customizable prostheses for our patients. Instead of solely relying on shade tabs, our technicians utilize Matisse® Optishade Styleitaliano to precisely match the shade of the prosthesis to the existing natural teeth.

We Use Premium Restorative Materials

With ongoing advances in dental technology, our team has many choices when it comes to top-quality restorative materials that provide natural-looking color, appearance, and function. Some of these options restore cosmetic or appearance deficiencies, while others enable the repair of badly decayed or missing teeth without amalgam or metal. In select cases, we may even recommend a high noble metal restoration. Our team will discuss all options with you and help you make an informed decision about the best one to fit your clinical needs and budget.

E-max®

E-max® is a type of all-ceramic crown made from lithium distillate glass. This material is composed of quartz, lithium dioxide, phosphor oxide, alumina, potassium oxide, and other components. E-max® crowns provide excellent durability, translucency, durability, and natural-looking aesthetics. Because they’re slightly more translucent, they may not be the best veneer option to conceal dark discoloration.

Empress®

Made entirely of leucite glass ceramic, Empress dental crowns are among the most realistic-looking restorations available. They blend in seamlessly with your smile and can last for up to 15 years.

Lava™ Zirconia

Milled from a Lava zirconia block and layered with feldspathic Lava Ceram porcelain, this restorative material is allergy-free and provides long-term stability. Lava crowns and bridges are also among the most aesthetically pleasing and clinically sound all-ceramic restorations currently available.

Procera® Zirconia

Developed by Nobel Biocare™, Procera Zirconia provides strong and highly aesthetic restorations with excellent biocompatibility and a significant reduction of plaque and bacteria. The NobelProcera® Zirconia Implant Bridge is recommended for two to 14 anterior and posterior implant bridge restorations.

BruxZir® Zirconia

BruxZir is a solid zirconia material (without a porcelain overlay) used for crowns, bridges, screw-retained implant crowns, inlays, and onlays. BruxZir offers superb strength and durability, making it ideal even for patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism). It offers excellent translucency and natural-looking color and isn’t prone to chipping and cracking.

High Noble Metal Ceramics

Although full ceramic crowns have become the standard, high noble metal with a top layer of ceramic may be required for extensive repairs in the smile zone. High noble metal includes a minimum of 60% of gold, platinum, palladium, and silver. Of that 60%, at least 40% must be gold to earn this distinction from the American Dental Association.
