Selecting the right dental lab is one of the most important decisions for any dentist or oral surgeon. The quality, turnaround time, and precision of your implant restorations directly impact patient satisfaction and treatment success.
In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when choosing a dental lab and why Reveal Lab is a trusted partner for high-quality restorations.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Dental Lab
Not all dental labs are the same. Here’s what to look for:
1. Digital vs. Physical Workflow
- Does the lab accept digital intraoral scans?
- Can they work with major scanners like iTero, 3Shape, and Medit?
- Does the lab also handle physical impressions if needed?
A lab like Reveal Lab offers both digital and physical workflows, ensuring seamless collaboration.
2. Material Options & Quality
The best labs offer premium materials for implant restorations, including:
- Zirconia (Strong & durable for posterior restorations)
- Emax CAD & Emax Pressed (Highly esthetic for anterior cases)
- Titanium Abutments (Custom-milled for long-term implant success)
3. Precision & Fit
- Does the lab use advanced CAD/CAM milling for restorations?
- Do they offer hand-layered esthetic options for anterior cases?
- Is there a triple-check quality control process?
At Reveal Lab, we ensure precision fit, color matching, and occlusion for every restoration.
4. Turnaround Time
Fast delivery is critical for patient care.
Ask these questions:
- How long does the lab take to deliver implant restorations?
- Do they offer rush services for urgent cases?
Reveal Lab provides:
✔ 7 days for crowns
✔ 14 days for implant restorations
✔ Priority shipping available
5. Communication & Support
A reliable dental lab should:
- Offer direct access to technicians.
- Provide case planning support.
- Be responsive to inquiries.
