Manhattan practices. Brooklyn lab.
A Full-Service Lab for Manhattan Practices
Our lab is in Brooklyn, not Manhattan: a 7,000 sq. ft. facility at 2308 McDonald Ave, founded in 2007, where more than 35 technicians make every case in house. Manhattan practices get the same service as a practice down the street. Our own drivers collect the case, our technicians make it, the same drivers bring it back, and you talk directly with the technicians on your case.
Manhattan had 33 private dental labs in 2014 and 27 in 2024 (US Dental Labs by the Numbers). Manhattan dentists already work with us; Dr. Bruce Valauri and Dr. Paul Friedman left two of the reviews below.

Free Pickup and Delivery
How Pickup Works in Manhattan
1. Call to Set It Up
Call 877-335-5221 to confirm your address and agree on the time and place. Pickup is free. Drivers plan their routes each morning, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of a pickup the same day.
2. Our Driver Collects the Case
During lab hours, Monday to Friday, our driver picks up the case with its Rx at your Manhattan office. Digital scans skip the trip: send them through our Lab Portal.
3. We Deliver It
Most restorative cases are ready from 5 business days, and our driver brings the finished case back to your office the next business day.
One Lab for All Your Offices
Practices with offices outside Manhattan are covered too. Our own drivers also pick up and deliver free in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, on Long Island out to Montauk and in 13 northern New Jersey counties, every business day.
Anywhere else in the US, print a free prepaid UPS label on our shipping label page.

No. The lab is at 2308 McDonald Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11223, and every case is made there. You do not need a lab in Manhattan for local service: our own drivers pick up and deliver across Manhattan every business day.
Do you pick up cases anywhere in Manhattan?
Yes, from the Financial District to Inwood, free, during lab hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM ET. Call 877-335-5221 to set it up. Drivers plan their routes each morning, so the earlier you call, the better the chance of a same-day pickup.
