What materials do you use to create dental restorations?

We use a variety of materials, including porcelain, zirconia, metal alloys, and composite resin, depending on the specific needs and preferences of each patient.

Can you create custom shades for dental restorations?

Yes, we have a shade matching process that allows us to custom match the shade of the restoration to the patient’s natural teeth. This ensures that the final restoration blends seamlessly with the patient’s smile.

What is your policy on revisions or remakes?

We stand behind the quality of our work and offer a satisfaction guarantee. If a restoration does not meet your expectations, we will work with you to make any necessary revisions or remakes to ensure your complete satisfaction.
