Benefits of Having an In-House Dental Lab

We’ve already briefly discussed some advantages of having an in-house dental lab to make porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and dental bridges. Now, let’s look at other benefits of having an in-house lab.

  • Convenience: One of the most significant advantages of having an in-house dental lab is the reduced turnaround time for dental appliances. Traditionally, when a patient requires something like porcelain veneers, dental crowns, or a dental bridge, the Austin dentist takes an impression of the teeth being treated, and the dental appliance is made somewhere else. It’s extremely convenient for dentists and patients to make everything here.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: When Austin dentists must outsource the production of appliances to an off-site lab, the cost can be significantly higher due to shipping fees. Off-site labs often charge more for their services, which can result in higher costs for the patient. By offering an in-house dental lab, we lower the overall cost of dental work for our patients.
  • Efficiency: With an in-house dental lab, the dental fabrication process is streamlined, significantly reducing patients’ wait for new dental appliances. Since there’s no need to ship the impressions or the appliance to another facility, you can often receive your custom-made dental appliance within a few days.
  • Individualized Care: An in-house lab allows the Austin dentists at Barton Oaks Dental Group to oversee every step of the process for your veneers, crowns, bridges, or anything else you may have made in our lab. This allows us to make everything according to the very specifications needed by our patients. If an alteration is needed, we do it right then and there.
