Why Us?
About Us
With over 40 years in dentistry and over 15 years in the laboratory business, EP Dental Laboratory continues the tradition of excellence set forth by founder Bruce J. Crispin DDS, MS. As dentistry has evolved and progressed, we have continuously stayed on the cutting-edge, and in several instances, influenced the many technologies that are now considered industry standards. We cultivate a small team atmosphere, incorporated into the technological advantages of a production laboratory, to personally cater to your very individual needs. This feat is accomplished through the definitive belief that our involvement in quality service-from the initial consultation, materials selection, case design and planning, to final cementation-is our highest priority. More than a traditional laboratory, EP Dental represents the silent partner that can help you become a better, happier, and more productive practitioner.Testimonial
“My last 3 cases were excellent!!! Thanks!”- Dr. Mike Bentz 4/19/18
CASE PLANNING
A Complimentary Service
EP Dental Laboratory believes that consistent and immediate laboratory involvement will insure a highly successful and predictable result. The goal at EP Dental Laboratory is for all parties involved to successfully choose the correct pathway to patient success. Successful cases – whether it’s a full mouth reconstruction or matching a single anterior tooth – require a certain degree of planning. To insure you receive the quality restoration you desire, we offer case-planning assistance by a resident Prosthodontist as a complimentary service. Our resident Prosthodontist has been teaching dentists how to be more successful for over 40 years. He can help you with case diagnosis, difficult case timing, preparation design and material selection. The ultimate goal is to produce a desired result which exceeds your patient’s expectations. He is your “Partner in Dentistry.”ADVANCED COMMUNICATION PRACTICES
Technology To Facilitate The Process
To create the best possible restoration for each patient, it is important that the communication between your practice and EP Dental Laboratory is as efficient as possible. To facilitate this process, we have developed the “Online Case Management” system. This system allows your dental practice to accurately schedule new cases by sending automated notifications, view current and past cases, modify new cases, add digital information and photographs, and view all financial transactions. With this “Dentist Gateway” system, we have implemented various protocols for the proper and accurate transfer of information between the dental practice and EP Dental Laboratory. We have also developed Laboratory Prescriptions with clinical input. This allows for a clear understanding of your restorative needs and conveys it to the Laboratory as clear and concisely as possible. In addition, EP Dental Laboratory uses advanced color matching technology, lighting, and digital photography as part of our custom case design program to ensure optimal esthetic results. Shape is designed with the patients help using EP Laboratory’s new digital “Style Guide APP,” aga in, truly becoming your “Partner in Dentistry.”CONTINUING EDUCATION

“Success in the eyes of our patients is largely dependant upon the end product created by the laboratory. Financial success in our practices is dependant upon obtaining indirect restorations that are consistent in quality and require a minimum amount of chair time. As a Board Certified Fixed Prosthodontist, it has always been my dream to have a laboratory that will satisfy my own personal practice needs. After years of development, I am finally ready to stake my reputation on EP Dental Laboratory.” – Dr. Bruce J. Crispin, Founder and Director
