Our On-Site Dental Laboratory Enhances Patient Experience

Benefits of Our In-House Lab

Not long ago, custom dental fabrications, such as dental crowns and other prosthetics, had to be sent out to an off-site dental laboratory. This meant an extended waiting period for patients, who were often forced to rely on less stable temporary restorations for weeks at a time. In addition, if any issues with the restoration became apparent, dentists were often unable to correct fit or appearance without sending the restoration back to the off-site lab. 

Our practice takes advantage of new, digital technology that enables on-site fabrication processes. For the benefit of our patients, Astoria Dental Group uses a computerized, on-site dental lab staffed with a highly-trained technician. This arrangement allows patients to receive timely dental restorations that meet their needs. We can often provide same-day or next-day treatment, including our Teeth Tomorrow® services, which allow patients to receive a full implant-supported arch the day of or after dental implants surgery. Our doctors are also able to oversee the creation of your restoration, ensuring better aesthetics. We can make all adjustments on-site as well, helping you to achieve a better fit and more stable smile. 

Advanced Technology

Our laboratory takes advantage of advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology, which allows for precise, digital design and fabrication. The process starts with digital x-rays and tomographic imaging, providing the Drs. Degel and Every-Degel with highly detailed 3-D images of your entire oral structure. These scans allows the doctors to design the most customized restorations possible.

Our dentists and staff are dedicated to consistently meeting and exceeding expectations for our patients. You can always expect a comfortable, state-of-the-art dental experience at our family practice office in Astoria. 

Our ceramics technician is often present in the treatment room to collaborate with the doctor, ensuring a seamless fabrication and shade-matching process. The technology provides for superior accuracy, fit, and aesthetics, so patients can expect a premium quality outcome.
