A Nightmare in Dentistry
By Kavin Kelp
One day in the not-so-distant future, you may find that it is difficult to get crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures made.
The number of ADA accredited dental laboratory schools in the United States is now at 22 and dwindling. We as dentists have many things to coordinate everyday to deliver dental care in a timely manner. Without reliable laboratory support, we have big problems. Sure, CEREC helps but a huge need for laboratory support remains with the many types of restorations we provide.
