In-House Dental Lab at AICD

In-House Dental Lab at AICD

Most dental restorations—crowns, bridges, veneers—are designed at the practice, then sent out to an external lab for fabrication, adding days or weeks to treatment. At Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry in New York City's Flatiron District in Manhattan, that process happens on-site. Our in-house lab technicians work alongside Dr. Srivastava and Dr. Castracane, so restorations are designed, adjusted, and fabricated under one roof with no back-and-forth and no waiting on an outside facility.

Hear from Dr. Srivastava below on why AICD's in-house lab makes a real difference for patients.

"Here at AICD, we are so proud to have an in-house laboratory. We actually work with lab technicians right here on the premises. We can do a lot of the dentistry instead of waiting. It's customized to your treatment, and it really helps with maximizing your time so you're not traveling back and forth. And that's what makes us really special."
— Dr. Jyoti Srivastava

The Benefits of an In-House Dental Lab

1. Precision-driven quality — Every restoration is tailored to your bite alignment, gum contours, and smile design, with our own technicians adjusting details in real time rather than working from notes sent to an outside lab.
2. Fewer appointments, less travel — Because design and fabrication happen on-site, adjustments that would normally require a separate lab turnaround can often happen the same visit.
3. Direct doctor-to-technician collaboration — Dr. Srivastava and Dr. Castracane work directly with the lab team on each case, rather than relying on written specs sent to a third-party facility.
4. Design-oriented aesthetics — Restorations are crafted for a natural look, with the same team overseeing both function and appearance from start to finish.

The AICD Advantage

With complete control over the design and production process, AICD delivers restorations—including crowns and bridges, veneers, and full mouth reconstruction—that support both long-term health and a natural-looking smile.

FAQ

Why does AICD have its own dental lab instead of using an outside lab?
Most practices send restoration cases to an external lab, which can add days or weeks to treatment and limits how closely the design team and the doctor can collaborate. AICD's in-house lab means Dr. Srivastava and Dr. Castracane work directly with our technicians on every case, reducing wait time and giving patients more control over fit, comfort, and appearance.
