What do those award-winning dentists have that you don't? In addition to meticulous expertise and a strong vision, the quality of materials used in a case will determine its success and longevity.
For over 3 decades, we’ve had our finger on (some may even say influenced) the pulse of advancing dental products and materials used in aesthetic and restorative cases. Find the dental lab products and materials essential to great & long-lasting dentistry in our selections below.
Gold Dust fabricates custom restorations for dental implants used from single unit to complex full mouth rehabilitation cases. We only use the highest quality materials that allow for an impressive array of customization in both aesthetic smile designs and restorative functional cases.
We are known to be dynamic and resourceful when it comes to full mouth rehabilitation cases. The goal is for the patient's entire dental work to be harmoniously aesthetic and completely functional on all levels. We do wonders with dentures and implant combos using A-grade resistant and translucent materials.
Our genius technicians are meticulous in design. They are your go-to fixers for those special restorative cases needing precise incisal edges with extra durability. No restoration is too small to master; conservative inlay/onlays, crown, bridgework — we do it all, and we don't rest until its done right.

The diagnostic wax-up is a critical tool to achieving superior results in your patients' complex cases. In the planning of your case, from idealizing preparation design, to communicating contours, length, anatomy and shape to your patient, the Diagnostic Wax Up creates unparalleled predictability in your communication with your patient and Gold Dust.
Occlusion and phonetics can also be evaluated. When these, along with esthetics, are deemed satisfactory, an impression can be made to communicate the proper size, shape, length, and form to the lab prior to prescribing final ceramics.
See the Diagnostic Wax Kit Technique Guide for more information.
Also available is our Natural Diagnostic Wax Up. The Natural wax up is used for those patients who have a difficult time envisioning how morphology, incisal translucency, surface texture, and mamelon formation may look on their particular case. This is an additional tool that can also be successfully used in patient case presentation.
Gold Dust fabricates custom restorations for dental implants, conservative inlay/onlays, crown and bridgework, smile designs and complex reconstructions only using brand-name, time-tested materials. These are some of our most popular materials for aesthetic cases.
GC Initial LiSi Press is a high-strength lithium disilicate ingot with proprietary HDM (High-Density Micronization) technology that equally disperses micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix, resulting in excellent physical properties and aesthetics. The material is also wear-resistant.
An all-ceramic alternative to Empress offering the feature of additional strength where required, options for cementing, bonding, and color correction. e.Max enables the ceramist to manufacture 3-unit bridges anterior to the bicuspid, single unit crowns, and veneers with a wide array of ingots and opacities.
The #1 brand of Zirconia in the world, Lava is highly aesthetic substructure and a great restoration for posterior bridges. Utilized for blocking out preps, while unmatched in strength, Lava can also be utilized for custom implant abutments.
When a preparation has multiple colors or a darkness that requires masking, a feldspathic material allows our esthetic dental lab team predictable control of the underlying tooth color. The refractory process is not as accurate as a pressed process (such as Empress Esthetic).
Among our dental products, you can find perfectly paired aesthetics and function. Our Gold Rush products include custom versions of zirconia, e.Max, and IPS Inline P.O.M.
Advances in cutting edge technology have revolutionized dentistry and Gold Dust is proud to lead the way in adopting technology that improves the patient’s experience, enhances the doctor’s efficiency, and creates more predictable restorations.

As an authorized laboratory for CEREC Connect, Gold Dust dental lab has the ability to accept transfers of digital impression files! This reduces our clients time and labor costs.

Want to set yours up? Simply select [Gold Dust Dental Lab] as your [Favorite Lab] on CEREC Connect to pair the precision of digital impressions with the quality of Gold Dust restorations.
iTero is similar to a video scanner, but functions as an intraoral camera device that takes individual shots to develop the 3D image from which superior polyurethane models are fabricated. The fabrication process achieved is significantly more accurate and predictable.
