At Pittman Dental Laboratory, we understand the importance of a beautiful smile that functions flawlessly. That's why we offer a wide range of high-quality crown and bridge services, ensuring our dentists can meet expectations. **Leaders in Crown and Bridge Technology** Since 1974, Pittman Dental Laboratory has been at the forefront of dental crown and bridge technology. We leverage the latest advancements in ceramic engineering and CAD/CAM technology to craft crowns and bridges that meet the highest standards of aesthetics and durability. **A Variety of Crown and Bridge Materials** Pittman Dental Laboratory offers a comprehensive selection of materials for crafting crowns and bridges, catering to different needs and preferences. Here's a glimpse into some of the materials we use: - **Lithium Disilicate:** This biocompatible material is known for its exceptional strength, aesthetics, and ability to mimic the natural light-reflecting properties of teeth. - **Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM):** A time-tested option, PFM crowns and bridges combine the beauty of porcelain with the strength of metal, offering a long-lasting and chip-resistant solution. - **Zirconia:** Zirconia crowns and bridges are a popular choice for those seeking a metal-free, highly biocompatible option. They provide excellent aesthetics and strength. - **Zirconia and Lithium:** This innovative material combines zirconia and lithium disilicate, resulting in crowns and bridges that are incredibly strong yet aesthetically pleasing. - **Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA):** PMMA is primarily used for temporary crowns and bridges, providing restored function and aesthetics while the permanent restoration is being crafted. - **Full-Cast Crowns:** Crafted using high-quality and biocompatible alloys, full-cast crowns offer exceptional aesthetics, durability, and a precise fit. **Your Crown and Bridge Lab** ![crown-and-bridge-choice2](https://www.pittmandental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/crown-and-bridge-choice2.png?width=200&height=133&name=crown-and-bridge-choice2.png)At Pittman Dental Laboratory, we understand the importance of convenience.
