In-House Lab

Precision Restorations Crafted On-site for Faster Results

Our in-house dental lab gives us complete control over the quality, fit, and timing of your restorations. Equipped with CEREC milling units, 3-D printers, and advanced digital imaging, we create crowns, appliances, and custom restorations without the delays of outside labs. Learn how this technology benefits your treatment experience from start to finish.

One of the biggest advantages of choosing Sullivan Dental Partners is our in-house capabilities. Our on-site dental lab and advanced crown-making technology mean your crowns, restorations, and appliances can be made right here rather than shipped off and waited on for weeks. For you, that translates to fewer appointments, faster turnaround times, and restorations we can quality-check ourselves before they ever reach your mouth.

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of good dentistry, which is why we rely on digital x-rays and 3-D scans to get a complete picture of your oral health. These imaging tools give our doctors the detail they need to plan treatment precisely, whether you are coming in for a routine exam or a more complex case involving dental implants or full mouth reconstruction. With highly trained dentists, advanced technology, and over 2,000 implants placed, we are equipped to handle complex cases without sending you elsewhere.

  • On-site dental lab for faster, higher-quality restorations
  • Same-day crowns without temporary placeholders
  • Digital x-rays and 3-D scans for accurate diagnostics

3D CBCT X-Rays

Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography scanner gives us a detailed three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaws, facial bones, and surrounding structures. We rely on this imaging to plan precise dental implant placement, pinpoint the exact location of impacted teeth, and diagnose gum disease with greater accuracy by measuring bone loss and gum attachment levels.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays produce highly detailed images of your teeth, revealing tiny details that traditional x-rays might miss. Beyond the improved clarity, digital x-rays reduce your radiation exposure by about 90 percent compared to traditional film, and we can review them with you on screen right after they are taken.

Digital Impressions and Intraoral Scanning

No more gooey impression trays. We use the Dentsply Sirona Primescan and Medit intraoral scanners to capture precise digital models of your teeth, bite, and jaw in minutes. The Primescan pairs directly with our CEREC mills for same-day crowns, while the Medit handles implant planning, clear aligner therapy, night guards, dentures, and detailed bite analysis. Whatever the case, we start with a clear, complete picture.

iTero Smile Simulations

Our iTero scanner creates a digital impression that lets you visualize what your smile could look like after treatment, whether you are considering crowns, veneers, Invisalign, or implants. The software also helps us track areas of wear, gum recession, and even cavities as they begin to form. Ask us about a complimentary smile simulation at your next visit.

Canon High-Definition Cameras

We use professional Canon cameras to capture high-definition photos of your teeth and gums. These images help us monitor your oral health over time, track progress through treatment, and give you a clear visual record of the changes we are making together.

CEREC Same-Day Crown System

Traditional crowns used to take two visits with a temporary in between. Our CEREC system changes that. We take a digital impression with the Primescan, design your crown on-site, and mill it from a solid block of ceramic porcelain during the same appointment. With multiple CEREC mills working in tandem, we can deliver a permanent, custom-fit crown the same day you walked in, no second visit required.

Advanced In-House Milling for Complex Cases

For cases that go beyond single crowns, we rely on two advanced 5-axis milling machines: the Ceramill Matron and the vhf E5. Together, they let us fabricate full-arch implant frameworks, zirconia bridges, and custom implant components right here in our lab. Most practices send this work to outside labs and wait weeks. We handle it on-site, under our own quality control, without the wait.

SprintRay 3-D Printing

Our SprintRay 3-D printer produces surgical guides, working models, night guards, temporary restorations, and custom appliances with a level of precision you can feel. Printing on-site means faster turnaround and tighter control over every detail of your treatment. If your case calls for a printed component, we make it here rather than waiting on an outside lab.

In-House Ceramic Finishing

After milling, crowns and restorations need precise firing and sintering to reach their final strength and appearance. Our Ivoclar Programat furnaces and CEREC SpeedFire handle both steps in-house, so every restoration is finished to exact specifications before it reaches your mouth. Nothing leaves the building, nothing gets rushed, and quality stays in our hands from start to finish.

Laser Dentistry

We use two advanced lasers to perform procedures that once required scalpels, sutures, and long recoveries. Our Biolase Waterlase combines laser energy with water for gum contouring, crown lengthening, “gummy smile” correction, and treating canker sores and cold sores. Our LANAP laser offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery for treating periodontal disease. Both mean less bleeding, less discomfort, and faster healing than conventional techniques.

State-of-the-Art Building

Our office was custom-built from the ground up with patients in mind. From a digital check-in process at the front desk to private treatment rooms and dedicated consultation rooms, every detail was designed to create a calm, welcoming experience.
