Not all denture practices are created equal. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration when choosing who to trust your smile to. This week we are going to take a look at the advantages of having an on-site dental lab.
Face-to-Face Communication
While our modern world seems to be communicating exclusively through screens, there is something to be said about the value of face-to-face. Instead of having to email, call, or text, denturists with on-site labs can simply walk down the hallway to speak with a lab technician. There is no room for interpretation when it comes to live interaction. This is the perfect way to ensure that both denturist and technicians are on the same page when it comes to building and fitting your denturists.
Quicker Turnaround
With traditional dental clinics, the process goes like this: your dentist sends your denture requirements to the lab, then they wait for the dentures to be built. Once they are complete, you must wait for your new dentures to be sent back to your dentist’s office. In most cases, the journey doesn’t end there as most dentures will need to be adjusted before they properly fit the patient’s mouth. This back and forth eats up an enormous amount of time. An on-site denture lab will eliminate the majority of the waiting time, ensuring that you get your brand new smile right away.
Lower Costs
The relationship between denturists and off-site technicians is a vendor-client exchange. As the two are separate entities, they will both take their own cut of the profits. The transport of your dentures from lab to office is an additional cost that will need to be tacked on. You can bet that your bill at the end of it all is going to reflect those charges. Denture offices with on-site labs have a much closer business relationship as denturists and technicians are on the same team. They must work together to be successful, meaning that your costs will be kept much lower.
