The Dental Technician

The artists touch and training plus high tech? gives our restorations something extra. They appear more lifelike and natural than most others porcelain restorations. A critical part of the dental team is the dental technician.

To do top quality dentistry you need a top notch highly trained technician. You can expect biology and dentistry to come together in our care. From single veneers to large bridges you can be confident that Encino dentist Allan Melnick DDS will consider the whole person.This is the essence of cosmetic dentistry.

The most difficult restorations to fabricate are those of porcelain. These require perfection in sizes, color and shape. We are fortunate to have a long standing relationship with several fantastic dental labs. A good example is Rodin Dental Ceramics, a leading cosmetic dental lab.?

Fusion is owned and operated by Daniel Yamato originally from Tokyo, Japan.? Mr.Yamato has over 18 years working in dental ceramics and was one of the first to truly master the use of biological based dentistry in the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles.

This smaller lab employs only one master porcelain technician with Daniel personally responsible for our cosmetic and biological dental office. We all are very green and protect you and the environment from toxic matter. As a general and family dentist in the Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks and Woodland Hills areas it is our home too and we act responsibly in preserving the environment.

We find the personal relationship we enjoy with our labs?invaluable in perfecting our crowns and veneers. Daniel is an artist at heart. His porcelain crown crowns are made with the artists eye and appear amazingly lifelike. For a cosmetic dentist this is critical.

We also have available the services of Euro Dental Aesthetics. As with Rodin we have had a long standing relationship with this highly respected small lab. It is owned and operated by George Zeltzer, a Swiss trained dental ceramist. Trained at the Technical Institute of Zurich. George is a master of creating the life-like look.

Over time Dr. Melnick has learned the particular situations where each technician excels. The technician that will fabricate the restoration can easily come to our office to see for himself not only the area of the mouth where the restoration will be placed, but the whole person being cared for. This is called biologic dentistry

?It is a great advantage for an Encino dentist in creating a restoration that fits the person, not just the tooth. Excellent crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays are his forte. Few dentists in? Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, or Woodland Hills areas?are able to offer this extraordinary service.
