In-House Laboratory

Our unique in-house dental laboratory provides the very finest in dental technology and artistry. It is our belief that only by utilizing the best technicians and the highest quality materials can we achieve the superior results that we demand. Because they are located in-house, our team of dental technicians and ceramists are able to work side-by-side with both our dentists and patients to ensure these beautiful and long lasting results.

Our laboratory is highly automated and uses only state-of-the-art technology, such as the CEREC In-Lab machine. CEREC is a computer-aided design and manufacturing system that allows our dentists to design, fabricate and place esthetically pleasing ceramic restorations. This combination of leading edge technology and very talented technicians assures that the service we extend to you is the finest quality available.

The quality workmanship of our dentists would not be possible without the support and expertise of our talented dental technicians and ceramists.

  • Rick Sonntag and Nancy Franceschi, our two gifted ceramists, have over 25 years of combined experience.
