On-site Dental Laboratory

Providing our patients with the very best service and results.

Working with an on-site laboratory staffed by highly qualified and talented dental technicians and ceramists is yet another way that we provide technical excellence and exceptional care. It is all part of the Medland Difference.

Having an on-site laboratory is not new to Medland. Dr Tony Medland first understood the benefits to patients and dentists in partnering with on-site dental technicians and ceramists, back in the 1970s. Medland is proud to continue this partnership today and is still one of the few dental practices fortunate enough to have a laboratory on-site.

This partnership allows Medland patients to experience the perfect combination of state-of-the-art technology blended with precision handcrafting throughout their treatment. It allows Medland to provide options that many practices cannot, and to also achieve exceptional outcomes for our patients, without compromise. 

Our Medland Dentists work hand-in-hand with the experienced technicians and ceramists in the on-site laboratory who consult with our patients throughout their treatment from a single crown to complex rehabilitative or cosmetic cases to achieve exceptional results and beautiful outcomes. 

If you require urgent or emergency dental treatment to manage a broken tooth, broken denture or replacement mouthguard, having an on-site laboratory ensures optimal turnaround and quality service.

On-site Laboratory Brisbane FAQs

Below are some of the frequently asked questions we receive regarding the on-site dental laboratory.

If you have any other questions please contact our friendly team.

Having our dental laboratory on-site allows Medland to provide options that many practices cannot. We can manage complex rehabilitative and cosmetic cases as your Medland Dentist works hand-in-hand with the technician who will be creating your crowns, bridges, veneers, or implant-supported restorations from the initial consultation stage, throughout the planning and trial stages, to completion and beyond. 

Having our dental laboratory on-site also means that we don’t accept compromises with the outcome of your dental treatment at Medland. Other practices might choose to accept a crown, bridge or veneer that does not quite fit or look quite right as the crown, bridge or veneer would need to be sent away to be fixed and you return for another appointment. At Medland, if it does not quite fit or the contacts are not quite right, it will be fixed by the on-site lab during your appointment. If the colour or shape is not a perfect blend with your other teeth and it does not look like your own natural tooth, having the ceramist who made your crown, bridge or veneer on-site means they can perfect it during your appointment. 

Having an on-site laboratory gives you more choices, convenience and exceptional outcomes without compromise. 

At Medland all crowns, bridges, implant-supported restorations and ceramic veneers are completed by the on-site technicians and ceramists.

Appliances such as mouthguards, occlusal splints, whitening trays and dentures are also made on-site in the laboratory.

The on-site laboratory also provides invaluable support to the Medland Dentists helping them achieve exceptional outcomes with composite veneers and build-ups and many other services. 

“Same day crowns” (often referred to under the brand of CEREC crowns) are promoted as a means of getting a crown completed quickly, while you wait, and not requiring a temporary crown. The crown is made by an in-house machine, which mills the crown out of a block of ceramic while you wait.

Let’s face it, no one loves a temporary crown, however, at Medland we pride ourselves on technical excellence and exceptional outcomes. Using a combination of state-of-the-art technology in combination with meticulous handcrafting by on-site technicians and ceramist means that a Medland crown will fit perfectly, feel comfortable, and have all of the characteristics to look like a natural tooth (and not “like a crown”). It also means that we can choose the type of crown material that is best suited to your tooth and the environment in your mouth. We are not restricted to one material option like CEREC, so we can choose the material that will have the best longevity and outcome for you.

Good things take time. Your Medland Dentist or the laboratory will make you a well-fitting temporary crown whilst your personalised crown is crafted by the on-site laboratory, and you will be well cared for during your temporary crown phase in that special Medland way.
