How long does the veneer fabrication process take at ACE DNTL?

Typically two to three weeks from preparation to fitting. This allows time for die preparation, diagnostic wax-up review, multiple firing cycles during hand-layering, quality control, and any necessary refinements before the fitting appointment.

What is hand-layered porcelain and how is it different from milled ceramics?

Hand-layered porcelain is built incrementally using different powder formulations, each fired separately to create genuine internal depth, translucency, and characterisation. Milled ceramics are cut from a uniform block, producing consistent but optically simpler results.

What happens during the temporary veneer period?

You wear custom-made temporaries that protect the prepared teeth and allow normal function. During this period, ACE DNTL Lab is fabricating the permanent restorations through multiple layering and firing cycles.

Why does ACE DNTL use an in-house ceramics lab?

Direct, real-time communication between clinician and ceramist eliminates the information loss inherent in outsourced workflows. The ceramist sees the patient, observes the facial anatomy, and can ask questions during fabrication — producing results designed for a specific person.
