On Thursday, May 8, 2008, Good Morning America ran a news story about high lead levels in dental crowns and other appliances made in China. Apparently some dentists and dental laboratories, in an effort to minimize costs, have been sending lab work overseas. These "offshore" labs are not certified or regulated in any way and there is no way of knowing what materials are used in these crowns.

Here at Limestone Dental, all our lab work is produced by the highest quality, American dental laboratories. The metals and porcelains used are the best available and the composition of the materials and quality of the work is guaranteed by the lab and by us. To find out about our laboratory and their position on offshore lab work, click here.

The fact of the matter is, cutting corners on lab work is a false economy. Our philosophy about lab work is simple - It's LESS expensive for you and for us to use the best quality materials because doing it right the first time saves time and, therefore, money.

If you have any question about our labs or the materials used in your restorations, please call us.
