What are the benefits of having an in-house lab?
Quality Materials & Superior Technology
Meet the creator of your new smile
During your initial appointment, and throughout your treatment journey, you will have the opportunity to meet and consult with our master ceramist who will craft your new smile. No faceless person, off-site, or overseas providers, our ceramists work on-site, in their dedicated bespoke ceramic studio, and will work with you each step of the way.
Quick turnaround without compromising quality
We don’t offer prefabricated, cookie-cutter smiles. Our superior technology including iTero scanners, 3Shape Trios scanners and fleet of 3D printers allow our work to be compressed to a one-day turn around. Our bespoke, small-scale operation at our in-house ceramic studio gives our team of master ceramists the ability to devote their day specifically to creating your new smile.
Preview your smile makeover before committing to any treatment
Your mock-up starts with a digital reveal on a large screen with our master ceramist. Then your cosmetic dentist fabricates a physical mock-up on your teeth made from a temporary resin over the top of your natural teeth. This way you can preview your smile makeover! The process is completely reversible causing no harm to any of your natural teeth.
Multi-layering technique for porcelain veneers
We pride ourselves on offering the advanced multi-layering technique for porcelain veneers. This method involves meticulously applying several thin layers of porcelain to craft veneers that closely mimic the natural enamel and dentin of your teeth. The attention to intricate details, such as translucency, colour, and texture, ensures that your veneers blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautifully natural and long-lasting smile. You can trust our team to deliver exceptional aesthetic results with the highest level of precision and care.
