Dr. Spencer Stewart
"This was a very difficult case that was brought together with seamless communication and planning with Lee's team at Drake Dental Lab. This patient came to me with a heavily restored and failing dentition. Years of mismatched restorative work left us with a handful of restored implants in the anterior, lack of posterior support, and many crowns and bridges with non-restorable secondary decay. The patient was looking for a permanent option that would restore his teeth to what they once were, so we knew implants were his best option.
With the help of Drake Lab and ITX Pros, a full implant planning workup was done which would include adding additional implants to the upper arch for support, as well as preparing the lower arch for an implant retained hybrid denture.
Due to the positioning of the patient's existing implants in the upper arch, we were forced to work with what we had and carefully plan where to add additional implants. Two additional implants were then added in the posterior. An FP1 restoration was what we decided on, where custom angle-corrected abutments were utilized for optimal strength and esthetics.
On the lower arch, we were left with a blank slate which was ideal for a hybrid denture approach. Once adequate bone reduction was completed, four implants were placed in the mandible. The final result was an FP3 restoration, which was reinforced with a Panthera substructure bar for optimal strength and support.
The final result speaks for itself. The patient, and myself, could not be happier with how this case turned out. Lee's team at Drake are true professionals and the quality of their work is exemplary."

"As the Director of Prosthodontics at the Carolinas Medical Center, I have had
the pleasure of working with the Drake Dental Laboratory for the last ten years. During
that time we have worked together on many challenging cases such as the fabrication
of hollow bulb obturators, mandibular resection prosthetics, as well as scanning patients'
for facial prosthetics. They have never let me down.
With our ten Residents, we produce a significant volume of conventional
prosthetics as well. This includes, fixed, removable and implant dentistry. They
provide us with a high degree of precision requiring little or no adjustments.
Members of their team are always ready to go the extra mile to achieve the level
of perfection to satisfy our patients' needs."

"I have been a client of Drake Precision Dental Laboratory for over 24 years. My first introduction with Drake was when I was serving in the military and treating active-duty dental soldiers.
Due to the quality of work, Drake Precision Dental Laboratory is now my go-to lab for everything. The quality of work they provide is excellent. The lab technicians are highly skilled, well trained, and produce high quality restorations. We rarely must remake or adjust any lab work we receive. The well-organized lab communicates efficiently with my staff and associate dentist.
Drake Precision Dental Laboratory is a step above most dental labs because they use cutting edge technology. I highly recommend Drake Precision Dental Laboratory for any dentist in the southeast area."
