‘‘When patients spend the kind of investment they do on their smile you MUST have a laboratory that meets and exceeds expectations. Gold Dust produces the epitome of excellence. There is not a group out there that can create beautiful smiles as consistently as the porcelain dental lab team at Gold Dust, they are a true rarity.

They are committed to excellence, they want me to succeed, they want the case to succeed and I feel they are in it for the long run. That’s what I love about working with Gold Dust.
