Some dental labs manufacture a wide range of oral devices designed to restore function. They also improve comfort and support long-term oral health. These devices, customized to each patient, are key for restorative treatment or orthodontic correction. At Mabel Dental Lab, precision craftsmanship meets modern materials and technology. We help produce reliable oral solutions for a variety of clinical needs. Here are a few oral devices that dental labs produce:
Crowns and Restorations
One common product made in a dental lab is the crown, which restores damaged or decayed teeth. At Mabel Dental, e.max and full-cast crowns are fabricated to meet strength-based needs. E.max, or lithium disilicate, crowns are known for their durability and natural appearance. These crowns support anterior and posterior teeth for their translucency and realistic finish.
Full-cast crowns use gold or other metal alloys as a base material. Both offer durability, making them suitable for molars and posterior restorations. Our lab also produces bridges, inlays, and onlays. They fit with adjacent teeth and maintain bite alignment.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Full and partial dentures help replace missing teeth. These devices assist with oral functions such as chewing and speaking. Full dentures provide assistance when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower arch. Partial dentures work with the remaining natural teeth and use clasps for support.
Our team at Mabel Dental makes sure each denture is customized to fit the patient’s mouth comfortably. The base is made from materials such as acrylic resin, while the teeth are shaped and shaded to match the patient’s original smile. The precision in lab fabrication helps provide a secure fit, which is key for wearability and oral health.
Nightguards and Mouthguards
A dental lab produces nightguards and sports mouthguards, which help prevent specific forms of oral damage. A nightguard is a protective appliance worn during sleep to prevent damage from bruxism. Without treatment, patients may experience tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and headaches.
At Mabel Dental, our lab creates custom nightguards based on digital or physical impressions. This will provide a comfortable fit that minimizes disruption during sleep. The thickness and material vary depending on the severity of grinding.
Sports mouthguards provide athletes with protection for their soft tissues from trauma during contact sports. Lab-fabricated guards offer a better fit and protection than generic store-bought alternatives. These are beneficial in high-impact sports like football, wrestling, lacrosse, and more. Our lab works closely with dentists to provide an accurate, comfortable mouthguard fit.
Implants and Custom Abutments
Dental implants require exacting precision, such as where the implant meets the restoration. Custom abutments are designed to serve as the connector between a dental implant and the final crown or prosthesis. These solutions provide proper angulation and tissue support. Custom abutments are milled from materials like titanium or zirconia, providing strength and biocompatibility. Cast abutments are waxed and offer versatility for complex cases.
