We have the power your practice depends on April 27th, 2011 marked the most destructive tornado outbreak in United States history, leaving our lab headquarters in Huntsville, Al without power for over 4 days. From this experience we realized that we cannot allow the weather to stand in the way of your patients receiving their beautiful smiles on the scheduled due date. The generator photographed above was purchased to ensure that when nature strikes, Oral Arts will be supplied with enough power to fully operate it's 70,000 sq.ft. Facility. We have the power your practice depends on.
Proud to be Certified
Photographed above are Oral Arts' Certified Dental Technicians (CDT's). Our CDT's are certified in one or more of the following specialties: Orthodontics, Partials, Dentures, Ceramics, or Crown & Bridge. Oral Arts is committed to training and educating our U.S.A. based workforce, realizing we are only as good as our people. While many laboratories are sending their cases offshore and not disclosing the country of origin to their clients and patients, all of Oral Arts’ restorations are made in U.S.A with high quality materials. The CDT and CDL certifications are playing an increasingly important role in our industry as the NADL and the ADA collaborate on the importance of regulatory programs. The NADL and ADA are together seeing that the lack of regulation in the dental lab industry is a threat to patient health and safety and the certification programs serve as a source of third party oversight. Oral Arts is proud to be a Certified Dental Laboratory (CDL) recognized by the National Association of Dental Laboratories (NADL), the American Dental Association (ADA) and the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP).

Diagnostic Wax-Up Models Many times it’s difficult to communicate to your patients exactly what you have planned for their total smile restoration. Diagnostic Wax-ups can become a key tool in your overall case planning and communication. The beautiful Wax-Ups created by the artisans at Oral Arts will show your patients exactly what you have in mind and increase the acceptance rate of your planned treatments. Beyond patient communication, Diagnostic Waxups are invaluable for their ability to help when considering bite relations, occlusal schemes and vertical and horizontal planes. The Diagnostic Wax-up assists in creating a smile design that assures predictability in the mouth. It also allows careful evaluation of function, anterior guidance and cuspid rise. Even more important, it is a vital communication tool serving as a check on case design for both dentist and technician.
Oral-Temp provisional restorations from Oral Arts are a highly aesthetic solution for your patients who may be concerned about appearances during the time temporaries are needed. Oral-Temps are beautifully hand-crafted from your impressions or pre-operative models and are created with outstanding quality and easily fitted chair side.

Indications
Where patient would otherwise suffer tooth loss or even full extraction Traditional cast partial cases where undercuts in part of the oral anatomy will not allow hard denture base and clasp adaption Where several natural teeth worth saving remain but are not strong enough to support cast frame- works Where the path of insertion prevents a traditional partial When conventional clasping is not a viable option due to lack of undercuts
Advantages
Can easily be converted into a complete denture. Restores beautiful, natural-looking gum line to patients suffering from severe periodontal resorption Postpones unnecessary tooth loss Tissue-borne solution cushions and splints remaining natural teeth from solid impact. Allows low-cost add-ons, repairs and relines.
Valplast® invented the concept of partial dentures that can flex along with a patients movement to create a far more comfortable fit. Valplast is a flexible denture base resin which is ideal for partial dentures and unilateral restorations. It provides a fully functional partial that looks better, feels better and is more durable than conventional metal rigid partials. The resin is a biocompatible nylon thermoplastic that allows your patient's natural tissue tone to appear through the material. The translucency of the Valplast material makes it the ideal product for cases when patients don’t choose a fixed restoration or implant, but still want a highly esthetic restoration. Valplast uses the Retento-Grip® tissue-bearing technique for retention, so no tooth or tissue preparation is needed.
