January 2010:


Crane Dental Laboratory became a certified Staub Cranial dental laboratory. Lance Phelps, Bernie Marrero and Mike Sweet were certified in the Staub Cranial Denture System. The Staub Cranial System is revolutionary in its thinking, methods, and science. Using mathematical calculations is a completely new approach which sets new standards in dentistry and dental technology. Clearly defined reference points, unknown to date in dentistry, have now replaced relative reference parameters. Staub Cranial System makes available for the first time a process for calculating a patient’s natural dentition regardless of his or her current dental situation. This technology has the ability to eliminate appointments and save time. It has been proven to give a more accurate, cosmetic, and long-lasting restoration. This system has a quick turnaround time and precise results to avoid multiple follow- up appointments for adjustments. For further information follow this link.
