Choosing a dental lab is a partnership in patient care. At The Art of Aesthetics, we understand that cosmetic veneers and zirconia crowns require more than just a scan; they require a deep understanding of occlusion, material science, and esthetic harmony. As a specialized laboratory, we focus on high-end restorative solutions that reduce chairside adjustments and enhance patient satisfaction.
Boutique Craftsmanship for Cosmetic Clinicians
At The Art of Aesthetics, we recognize that practitioners affiliated with prestigious organizations like the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) and LVI (Las Vegas Institute) operate at a different level of clinical excellence. For these clinicians, a restoration is not merely a veneer; it is a work of art that must harmonize with the patient’s unique facial aesthetics, lip line, and phonetics.
While The Art of Aesthetics does not specifically hold an AACD or LVI laboratory certification, we have worked side-by-side with affiliated dentists for decades. We understand the rigorous requirements of these institutions because we have been the silent partners behind their most successful cases. We speak your language—whether it’s discussing the nuances of an LVI-based neuromuscular bite or meeting the strict photographic and layering criteria for an AACD accreditation case.
Our high-end cosmetic services are intentionally separated from day-to-day restorative work. While we maintain rigorous standards for every implant, crown, and bridge we produce, our Boutique Cosmetic Division is dedicated exclusively to complex smile design. We understand that AACD-caliber cases often require specific preparation styles, such as deep chamfer or shoulder margins, and meticulous attention to incisal translucency and internal characterization.
If you are an LVI-trained dentist or an AACD member, we invite you to share your specific laboratory requirements and clinical preferences with us. Whether you prefer a specific porcelain layering technique (Feldspathic vs. Pressed), unique stump shade adjustments, or specific occlusal schemes like Neuromuscular or Centric Relation, our ceramists are equipped to execute your vision with pinpoint accuracy.
We differ from high-volume “production labs” by offering:
- Custom Diagnostic Wax-ups: To ensure the blueprint of the smile is perfect before the first unit is milled.
- Advanced Material Selection: Utilizing multi-layered, high-translucency Zirconia and IPS e.max with hand-stacked ceramics.
- Case Consultations: Direct communication with our head technicians for complex full-mouth rehabilitations.
Our goal is to provide a seamless extension of your chairside skill. By integrating your advanced training with our digital precision, we produce restorations that disappear into the smile, achieving the natural vitality and light-handling properties that elite cosmetic dentistry demands.
