Posted on October 16, 2020 by Dr. Gerald Marlin
There are three different ways to manufacture a dental crown. They can be milled on a machine according to stock images, fabricated in a commercial laboratory, or handcrafted to each patient’s custom aesthetics by an in-house dental technician. The latter is how we do it at Prosthetic Dentistry of Washington, D.C. because we strive for perfection.
In the video below, top-rated prosthodontist Dr. Gerald Marlin explains the limitations of milled and commercial crowns. These restorations often fall short of providing the proper fit and aesthetics we want our patients to enjoy. We believe that you deserve exceptional results that last.

Our crowns tend to fit better, look more natural, and last longer than those created by third-party technicians who have never seen your actual smile. The dental crowns produced in our on-site lab have, with proper care, lasted for 35 years or more.
