Years of Experience Behind Every Smile We Create
Our Process
From Digital Scan to a Smile Made for You
01
Capture
A precise intraoral scan creates a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite, giving our team the digital foundation needed to plan your restoration.
02
Design
Your dentist and dental ceramist collaborate on the digital design, carefully considering fit, function, facial proportions, and the natural appearance of your smile.
03
Craft
Your restoration is milled in our in-house CAD/CAM dental lab using the material selected for your clinical and aesthetic needs. Each piece is then carefully finished by hand.
04
Try In & Refine
Your restoration is evaluated directly on you. Fit, bite, shape, and shade are carefully checked, and any necessary refinements can be completed without sending it to an outside laboratory.
Materials Selected for Your Smile
Premium Dental Materials, Chosen for a Reason
No two smiles require exactly the same solution. We select each restorative material according to strength, function, translucency, tooth position, and your aesthetic goals.
Lithium Disilicate
Translucency for highly aesthetic results
- Mimics the way natural enamel reflects light
- Excellent shade and translucency options
- Often selected for veneers and anterior crowns
- Combines refined aesthetics with reliable strength
Porcelain Ceramics
Hand-finished detail for a personalized smile
- Natural color, texture, and light reflection
- Carefully layered and characterized by the dental ceramist
- Ideal for cosmetic veneers and selected restorations
- Personalized to complement your facial features and surrounding teeth
Our Technology
Meet the Technology Behind Your Smile
Every technology at Esthetic Dent serves a clear purpose: to improve diagnostic accuracy, personalize your treatment, and give our team greater control over your result. With digital planning and an in-house dental lab, your case moves through one connected workflow—from your first scan to your final restoration.
Digital Impressions
Intraoral Scanning
A small intraoral scanner captures a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite in minutes. The digital file can be reviewed immediately and shared directly with our in-house dental lab to begin planning your restoration.
- More comfortable than traditional impression trays
- Precise digital record of your teeth and bite
- Immediate connection between the clinical and laboratory teams
3D Dental Imaging
CBCT Technology
Three-dimensional imaging allows our doctors to evaluate teeth, bone, nerves, sinuses, and surrounding structures with greater detail than a traditional two-dimensional X-ray.
- Detailed planning for dental implant treatments
- Evaluation of bone volume and anatomical structures
- More complete information before treatment begins
Digital Treatment Planning
CAD/CAM Smile Design
Your dentist and dental laboratory team use digital tools to plan the shape, proportions, fit, and function of your restoration before it is fabricated.
- Digital planning for crowns, veneers, and bridges
- Direct collaboration between dentist and dental ceramist
- Adjustments can be reviewed before final fabrication
In-House Milling
CAD/CAM Milling Technology
Once your restoration has been digitally designed, our in-house milling technology precisely fabricates it from the material selected for your case. Because the process takes place inside our dental laboratory, the clinical and laboratory teams maintain direct control from design to final finishing.
- In-house fabrication of crowns, veneers, and selected restorations
- Precise reproduction of the digital design
- No shipping to an outside dental laboratory
- Faster adjustments when clinically necessary
Healing Support
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
For selected implant and surgical procedures, we can prepare platelet-rich plasma using a small sample of your own blood. The centrifuge concentrates platelets and naturally occurring growth factors that may support the body’s healing process.
- Prepared from your own blood
- Used when clinically indicated during implant and surgical procedures
- May support soft-tissue and bone healing
- Prepared inside the clinic on the day of treatment
