Quality Dental Lab Products

Dr. Halmaghi determined quite some time ago that providing the best quality dentistry with the best (high endurance) dental products was to be a consistent goal for his Southfield practice. Many cosmetic dentists address this issue by using some of the best quality dental labs in the country.

Using a premium dental lab however, is not enough. Since there are only a few truly high quality labs in the country... it necessarily forces the dentist to use labs in different parts of the country.. thereby requiring "shipping and receiving" activities. While there is nothing inherently wrong with using nationally known dental labs.... what happens when a error is made?

Common Errors - Inevitable and Frustrating

Yes... errors do occur. Errors in measurement, castings, fabrication, coloring, shade, alignment, etc. These types of errors are impossible to eliminate and are actually understandable.

But if you are the patient... awaiting new crowns, or a bridge or 10 new porcelain veneers.... any one of the errors mentioned above can be devastating. Guarantees and assurances do nothing for the patient who is forced to wait..... and wait... for up to several days, perhaps. Waiting for the final product to arrive.

It can mean going without a bridge, going toothless and in some cases possibly having to go through the tedious process of having something removed. Dr. Halmaghi decided long ago that in order to provide the best that modern advanced dental technology has to offer with minimal opportunity for error or need for "adjustments" ... and to be able to Guarantee it... would require having his own on-site dental lab.

Felix, our technician, is always on-hand when Dr. Halmaghi is consulting with or evaluating a patient for custom made dental components. Bridges, crowns, dentures, porcelain veneers, orthodontic appliances, TMJ appliances... etc. Common errors in fabrication of dentistry components is virtually eliminated. Quality control standards are the highest attainable.

All of our patients thereby enjoy the same guarantee... that all procedures and products used in treatment are of the finest materials with the highest endurance quality possible. Below is a list of the many benefits of having a solid relationship not only with your dentist... but your own personal dental technician in Southfield, Michigan.

• Turnaround is half the time of other labs. This allows us to get the patient back faster for final cementation of crowns and bridge. It also eliminates problems with temporary teeth and consequences that can happen when you delay dental work (sensitivity, infections, breakage, extra appts., etc.)
  
  
• Our lab technician, Felix, is available during all clinic hours to make sure that the shade, shape, and contour of all dental work fits properly and is custom made to the patient's likes and needs
  
  
• Anything that may go wrong with the lab work can be fixed quickly and the patient does not need to be rescheduled for another appt. He is there to make changes as needed, same day and usually within less than one hour
  
  
• It allows Dr. Halmlaghi to see the dental lab work from start to finish and helps him to keep tabs on the quality and the progress. When dentists send work to outside labs they never see what happens with their patient's lab case. At our office we discuss each individual case from start to finish and keep daily scrutiny on all lab cases
  
  
• Most of our dental work involves redoing other dentist's work. A lot of crowns simply don't match natural teeth, and re-doing poor workmanship is what we have perfected with our on-site lab
  
  
• Most difficult cases are pre-planned with our lab technician, which allows us to foresee problem areas before we start. This insures less appts. and less patient aggravation
  
  
• As a general rule, we finish our dental work in half the time with twice the quality. We guarantee all dental work performed!
