Products

At Chingford Dental Lab we provide a full range of services including, prosthetics, crown and bridge, pressure formed appliances and digital products.

We utilise a mix of the traditional tried and tested methods and materials with new and exciting products and technology to produce the best quality dental appliance to suit our customers’ needs.

Prosthetics

Ideal for full or partial dentures, every case is treated individually by one of our skilled team to produce a natural looking denture for your patient. Acrylic dentures are easy to fit, simple to adjust, and allow for more teeth to be added with ease should the need arise. 

Processed in heat cure acrylic, dentures can also be tailored to suit your individual patients needs including clasps, soft linings, gold teeth, and name insertions.

We stock teeth in a wide variety of shades and moulds, with shade guides available upon request.

Our private and premium services offer further options including high impact acrylic, premium brand teeth, and cosmetic gum staining and contour. 

 

Cobalt-Chrome frameworks and bases  are designed to specifically suit your patients individual dentition and needs.

Made with a chrome cobalt nickel free alloy, chrome frameworks are great at adding strength and stability to dentures, as well as being lightweight and more hygienic to wear.

Chrome dentures can be designed to include tooth coloured resin clasps for increased aesthetic value.

 

Valplast dentures are made from a biocompatible, metal free, nonallergenic nylon material which provides the perfect degree of flexibility.

The flexibility of the material helps balance the stress load over the entire supporting ridge resulting in increased patient comfort.

The strong, durable denture snaps securely and comfortably into place around the patients natural teeth and gum whilst the colour of the base material and clasps blends in with the natural appearance of the gums so that the Valplast partial denture is almost invisible.

 Valplast is available in four natural tones: Pink, Light Pink, Meharry, and Light Meharry to match patients colouring.

All appliances can be registered with Valplast to access their 100% guarantee against base material fractures.

Crowns and Bridges

Porcelain bonded crowns feature a metal substructure with a porcelain fused outer layer. combining the strength of metal with the aesthetics of ceramics.

These classic restorations offer great form and function, and can be used on a variety of cases from single unit crowns through to Maryland Bridges and long-span bridges.

We use nickel free alloys for the substructure, and Enliven ceramics to achieve great looking results.

Shade taking is also available at the lab by appointment.

All ceramics restorations, including full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers, offer some of the most aesthetically pleasing results. This is due in large to being metal free. The absence of a metal layer allows these restorations to achieve better light transmission, giving a more natural appearance in both colour and translucency.

We offer both Zirconia and Emax all ceramic restorations.

Zirconia:

Offering high strength with high translucency zirconia is an excellent all ceramic restoration for your private patient. Zirconia crowns can be designed as full contour to offer strength or as a zirconia substructure with porcelain on top for amazing aesthetic results.

There are a variety of different Zirconia options available to choose from to match your patient’s needs. From High Translucency to High Strength, all our Zirconia restorations are available in 16 Vita Shades as well as in White or Bleach. 

All our milled Zirconia restorations carry the manufacturers 5 year guarantee against fracture.

As a result, you get a restoration that is tough and durable with great natural aesthetics.  Again, crowns can also be designed as full contour or as a substructure with porcelain addition.
