Turnaround
Does digital make cases faster?
Digital cases skip shipping time on the way in. Lab time is typically 4–5 lab days; same-day or next-day turnaround is available for crowns.
We serve dentists nationwide. Local pickup and delivery across the NY metro area, including Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island; FedEx shipping anywhere in the continental US, to 274 Madison Avenue, Suite 1701, New York, NY 10016. Call by 12 noon, Monday–Friday, for guaranteed same-day pickup in Manhattan. After noon, we still pick up as soon as we can. Outside Manhattan, pickup in our local area is usually the next business day (Monday–Friday).
Every restoration we make carries a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. We take any restoration failure seriously, so each concern is reviewed individually and the options are discussed directly with you, the doctor.
