What Edgar does best

See results →

Zirconia veneers and crowns
Every piece is milled from multilayer zirconia, then seated and adjusted by hand under magnification until it fits without pressure, with the margin polished into a closed seal at the gum line.
Shade and layering
Shade is matched in person with the patient in the chair, not from a photo. On front teeth Edgar builds surface texture and enamel effects by hand over the gradient already in the disc.
Same-week delivery
Because the lab is in the building, adjustments happen between visits instead of in a courier's van. That is what makes the Monday-to-Thursday week possible.
Laboratories for other clinics
Edgar also plans and installs dental laboratories for other practices: milling, sintering and finishing workflows, and the training of the teams who run them.
