Dental implants

The ultimate goal when it comes to dental implants is achieving the same look and feel as normal teeth, which is why composite crowns are a popular innovation in modern dental labs. Unlike conventional ceramic crowns, the composite blocks are made with specialty glass powders and a resin mix, making them less abrasive with superior tooth-like properties.
