How a Dental Crown is made

Ever wanted to know how a Dental Crown is made?

At Limestone Dental we make all our crowns are made by our dental technicians on site. We have a laboratory adjacent to the practice where we make your mouthguards, crowns and dentures.

This isn't done this way anymore, and hasn't been for a long time. Its also intentionally misleading, probably to justify the Markup the dental office resells it to the client for. Most Labs do it with scans and are milled out in mass (about 13 per puck) on a CNC machine, generally a lab only charges about 80 to 100 per crown.

That’s why my new crown was stained, like I was confused why it looked like I dranked coffee when I didn’t even eat or drink anything yet. It would be nice if they didn’t stain it

I was trying to find a video to see if a crown could be made out of porcelain since I got mine today I told him it felt like porcelain and they told me that it was porcelain.

My "finished" bridge came in from the lab and did not match my teeth color - several shades too white. Dentist said that he would just send it back and have them add some darker shading and that it would be an easy fix. Is that even possible to do to the original after it has been glazed and completed. It seems that you would have to start from scratch.

While you showed how they were made and had printed text, I still didn't really learn much of anything. I want closer video to the impression and show us what you're doing. I was expecting to actually see up close and have it explained audibly.
