Renstrom and Crocus want to answer your questions about our dental laboratory services and products. Get started here with your discovery process and then contact our dental labs. Get to answers below.

• When will I get my case back?
• What is your remake policy if a restoration needs an adjustment?
• Is your work guaranteed?  If so, for how long?
• If I have a difficult shade to match what services do you offer to help?
• My patient has an important event (wedding, etc.)  in the near future. Can I get my case back ASAP?
• What materials and options are available for a certain case or situation?
• What is the easiest way to get my case to the lab?
• Do you offer any discounts or incentives?
• What accreditations/certifications or accomplishments has your lab achieved?
• Can I work with one ceramist for all of my crown and bridge work?
• Do you outsource any of your work overseas or out of the country?
• What measures do you take to control cross-contamination between the dental office and the lab?

Tooth shades can be the most difficult, while at the same time most important, thing to communicate between the dental office and lab.  The success of a crown and bridge case, particularly single unit cases, depends to a great degree on how closely the shade of the crown matches the shade of the adjacent teeth. 

One way to improve the precision and accuracy of communicating shades is with the use of the Vita 3-D Master shade guide.

Dr. Baer instructed a  two day training session on June 6th and 7th that featured surgical and restorative dental implant treatment. The course was held at the Radisson in Roseville and was sponsored by Renstrom and Crocus dental labs and Nobel Biocare. 

Approximately 50 dentists attended this hands on training course and received a certificate along with 14 continuing dental education credits. Course topics included posterior single tooth implant placement, fully edentulous lower jaw, anterior single tooth implant placement, and patient and staff education.

Upcoming Event: Taking Better Dental Impressions

The 2008 Chicago Dental Society was an impressive display of information, technology, and all things that have to deal with the dental world.  There seemed to be a main theme centered on CAD/CAM technology at this year’s meeting. 

The uses and applications of CAD/CAM are becoming more refined and more useful to dentistry every year.  We at Renstrom Dental Studio are especially excited about some of the new technologies featured at the meeting.
