Brooklyn-based. Serving Connecticut.
A Brooklyn Lab for Connecticut Practices
Elegant Dental Laboratory has made restorations in house in Brooklyn since 2007, and Connecticut practices already send us their cases. Print a free prepaid UPS label, and your case reaches our 7,000 sq. ft. facility at 2308 McDonald Ave in about 2 days by UPS Ground. More than 35 technicians handle restorative, implant, full-arch and removable work, and we ship finished cases back at no charge.
