You may have heard about a recent television report out of Columbus Ohio claiming that a crown made in an overseas dental lab has tested positive for lead. The investigative report by WBNS-TV, Channel 10 in Columbus, has revealed a confirmed case of a victim made sick by contamination from a dental restoration made in China. You can view this report from the station’s web site by clicking here. (Story will play after a 10 second commercial.) This information coupled with several other problems regarding items made in China, such as toys, toothpaste, and pet food, raises serious questions about crowns that are fabricated there. The ADA is taking this matter very seriously, and is advising their members to ask their laboratories where and how their restorations are being fabricated. My experience has been that laboratories offering an inexpensive crown and taking more than two weeks for conventional crown and bridge work are probably subcontracting their work overseas. If your crowns and bridges are being fabricated by Colonial Dental Lab, you can be confident that the work is being done by our technicians in our laboratory in West Berlin, NJ. We use only the finest, ADA approved materials. We purchase metals from respected and prominent companies such as Metalor and Ceramco. Our Captek crowns have always been made with the genuine Captek material. We gladly furnish Identalloy Certificates upon request. As we have for the past thirty two years, Colonial Dental Lab’s commitment to quality, integrity, and trust, assures you that we stand behind our restorations, and the materials that we fabricate them with.

Plummeting
from thousands of feet in the air, Shayna Richardson said a prayer as she
spiraled toward "I
shattered almost every bone in my face," Richardson said. "I knocked out the
front five teeth in the mouth, broke my pelvis in three places and broke my
right leg." In the emergency room, doctors told Richardson that she was
two weeks pregnant. Richardson said the hope of a healthy baby was what pulled
her through all of the reconstruction operations. Doctors even used metal plates
to replace pieces of fractured skull to support to support her eye and hold her
face together. However, with medical bills Dr. Alan
Meltzer, a Voorhees New Jersey Periodontist, learned about Richardson's story
and huge medical debt. He was touched by her story, and he wanted nothing more
than to get Richardson her smile back. Using CT scans, Dr. Meltzer
first plotted Richardson's dental surgery on the computer, making sure to avoid
the metal plates in her face. "We actually made the jawbone disappear," Dr.
Meltzer said. "And we placed the implants so that we were sure to have adequate
clearance in all directions from all the plates."
