Dental labs create high-quality products for dentists to use to improve the patient experience. Mabel Dental has a team of expert technicians who will customize the products based on your specifications. Here are some of the products our dental lab creates:
Fixed Products
Fixed dental products are a permanent solution to tooth loss or decay. Unlike removable devices, patients do not have to worry about losing fixed products since they can’t take them out of their mouths. Fixed products include crowns, bridges, veneers, and more. They come in materials such as zirconia, emax, porcelain fused to metal (PFM), and gold.
When creating a fixed product for a patient, dentists can work with our team to find the right solutions. We will tailor the product according to their specific needs. Some dentists may prioritize aesthetics and strength, while others may desire hypoallergenic qualities and quick turnaround times. Our team helps you select the right material, as molars may need strength and durability, while incisors require a perfect shape and color match. We offer a wide range of color choices so that you can select one closest to your patient’s natural teeth.
Dentists can send impressions of the patient’s mouth via mail or online. We accept scans and use computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to create your products. While both file options produce high-quality products, digital impressions may result in faster processing because our team does not have to wait for the physical Rx and models to arrive in the mail.
Implant Products
Patients who are missing teeth benefit from using high-quality implants. Implants are a permanent solution and are screwed into the jawbone for extra stability and support. Getting the right fit for an implant is necessary, and dentists must verify that their patients have adequate bone density to support this procedure.
Our dental lab team helps create custom abutments in varying materials, such as zirconia, gold, or titanium. These materials are durable and resist breaking. They are made to withstand the daily pressure chewing puts on your teeth. We use CAD/CAM technology to evaluate the shape of the surrounding teeth and jaw to make sure the fit is accurate. Once the implant has been placed and has had time to heal, we provide custom crowns that attach to the abutment for a natural look.
Removable Products
Removable products are devices designed to detach quickly and easily. They include partials, dentures, mouthguards, and more. Dentures cover the entire upper or lower jaw. They replace all of the patient’s teeth, whether they were lost due to an accident or decay. A proper denture fit is necessary to make sure the patient is comfortable and able to chew their food properly. We customize dentures based on the patient’s gum color and mouth shape. Our three denture lines include Advantage, Standard, and Premium.
We also offer both metal and flexible partials. Metal partials are available in SLM, titanium, and Dentsply Vitallium® 2000. Each option varies in durability and weight, so talk with our technicians to find the right solution for your patient. Flexible partials are made of a comfortable plastic that resists stains and offers a lightweight solution. They can also be combined with a metal framework for increased strength.
Mouthguards are a non-invasive solution for individuals who play sports or grind their teeth at night. They help prevent patients from chipping, breaking, or grinding their teeth. Dentists can work with our lab to adjust the mouthguard shape and color.
Orthodontic Products
Mabel Dental’s range of orthodontic products includes diagnostic models, Essix retainers, splints, and sleep apnea appliances, among others. Orthodontists and dentists use diagnostic models to study the patient’s teeth and alignment. They are able to clearly see any issues with spacing, overbites, or underbites. The clear visuals allow dental experts to develop a suitable treatment plan.
Essix retainers are devices that keep the patient’s teeth in place after they get braces or Invisalign. They fit over the upper and lower teeth and can be easily removed before eating. Splints operate similarly to retainers but also prevent grinding or Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. Sleep apnea appliances are custom devices that help prevent snoring. Oral health professionals can work closely with lab technicians to create sleep apnea devices that fit comfortably and will remain in place throughout the night. These devices also help prevent issues that occur due to restricted breathing by positioning the jaw in the right place so that air continues to flow.
