Key Benefits
CDT-Certified Craftsmanship
Each crown restoration is fabricated by technicians holding CDT certification, ensuring that every case meets the professional standards your patients depend on. David Gelman's more than 35 years of hands-on experience guides quality control at every stage of production.
Full In-House Fabrication
Crown and Bridge CAD/CAM, Zirconia, and E-Max restorations are completed entirely on premises at our Boca Raton laboratory. No outsourcing means tighter quality oversight, more consistent turnaround, and direct accountability to the referring dentist.
Collaborative Case Planning
We approach every crown case as a partnership. Our team works closely with referring dentists to clarify shade, occlusal requirements, and marginal fit before fabrication begins, reducing remakes and supporting predictable outcomes for your patients.
CAD/CAM, Zirconia, and E-Max: Selecting the Right Crown System
Choosing the appropriate crown material depends on the clinical situation, the patient's occlusal load, and the aesthetic requirements of the case. At David Gelman's Dental Laboratory, we fabricate crowns using CAD/CAM-milled frameworks, high-strength Zirconia, and lithium disilicate E-Max ceramic. Zirconia restorations offer exceptional durability and are well suited to posterior cases where occlusal forces are significant. E-Max crowns provide superior translucency and are frequently selected for anterior restorations where natural appearance is the primary concern. Our CAD/CAM workflow supports precise marginal adaptation across both systems. When you submit a case to our Boca Raton lab, our technicians review the prescription carefully and are available to discuss material selection if the clinical notes raise questions that benefit from a conversation before fabrication begins.
