I work in a dental in oregon. There are some labs here in the states that outsource to china and mexico among other countries for cheap labor and to make an inexpensive crown with higher profits. There has been a concern with smaller labs with the quality issues that the outsourcing produces. Not only the quality but the content is now an issue. As for your dentist that ‘makes his own crowns’ in office with a computer, the system is mostly called a ‘cerac in office’ cad/cam milling machine. Most dental labs are not pleased with the aesthetic quality the computer generates. Hand built crowns are still the most aesthetic, best fit and most functional crowns out there.

Where do most dentists get dental supplies for fillings these days? I’m wondering what might be in those.
