Modern dentistry has shifted from a weeks-long waiting game to a streamlined, efficient process where your new crown or veneer can be ready before you leave the office. An in-house dental lab equipped with advanced technology transforms what used to require multiple visits and temporary restorations into a seamless, single-appointment experience. At Roman Dental Arts, we’ve invested in cutting-edge lab technology so you receive faster, more precise, and more personalized dental care.
Our father-daughter team, Dr. Donald Roman and Dr. Alissa Roman, are committed to bringing the latest advancements in dentistry to Hackensack and the surrounding communities. By maintaining an in-house lab, we control every aspect of your restoration from design to final placement, ensuring the highest standards of quality while respecting your valuable time.
In-house dental labs use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology to create dental restorations without sending impressions to an outside facility. The process begins with a digital scan of your mouth using an intraoral camera, which captures detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth and gums in seconds. This digital impression eliminates the need for uncomfortable traditional impression materials and provides incredibly accurate measurements.
Once the scan is complete, our dental software designs your restoration on a computer, allowing us to customize every detail including shape, size, and color to match your natural teeth. The design is then sent to our milling machine, which precisely carves your crown, veneer, or other restoration from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material. The entire process can be completed in as little as one hour to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
After milling, the restoration is stained and polished to achieve a natural appearance before being permanently bonded to your tooth. This streamlined workflow means you walk out with your permanent restoration the same day, avoiding temporary crowns and multiple appointments.
Having an in-house lab fundamentally changes your dental experience. The technology enables single-visit treatments where your tooth is prepared, the restoration is created, and the final placement happens all in one appointment. You save time by eliminating follow-up visits, and you never have to deal with the inconvenience of wearing a temporary crown for weeks while waiting for your permanent restoration.
With the entire process under one roof, we maintain complete quality control over every restoration we create. If any adjustments are needed, we can make them immediately rather than sending the restoration back to an outside lab. This attention to detail ensures your crown, veneer, or bridge fits comfortably and looks natural from the moment it’s placed. The digital precision of CAD/CAM technology also means better fit and fewer adjustments compared to traditional laboratory methods.
The technology also allows you to be involved in the design process. You can see digital previews of your restoration before it’s created, providing peace of mind about how your smile will look. For patients with dental anxiety, completing treatment in one visit can be far less stressful than returning multiple times.
While the initial investment in CAD/CAM technology is substantial, it reduces the need for outsourcing lab work and minimizes material waste. More importantly, it allows us to work with high-quality materials including zirconia and advanced ceramics, which offer exceptional strength and aesthetics. These materials are milled to exact specifications, creating restorations with superior fit and longevity.
The digital workflow enhances accuracy at every step. Digital scans capture detailed three-dimensional images within five to ten seconds, and the precision of CAD/CAM technology makes the fitting and adjustment process less invasive and time-consuming. Traditional impressions can be distorted during pouring or shipping, but digital impressions maintain their accuracy from scan to final restoration.
Our CEREC same-day crowns technology represents one of the most significant advances in restorative dentistry. Whether you need a single dental crown, multiple veneers, or other restorations, our in-house lab can deliver beautiful, durable results without the wait.
