Company description:
Cox & Miranda DDS is one of the few dental offices in the area that offer lab services on site. Having a lab on our premises allows us to manage our patients' cases efficiently, and to our doctors' specifications. Our lab team has a combined 50 professional years in dental lab techniques. The team is skilled in designing and creating nearly all of the restorations, crowns, stay-plates, and dentures placed by our doctors.
Our office offers crowns and restorations crafted from BruxZir® Solid Zirconia. BruxZir Solid Zirconia Milling Blanks produce a final restoration that exhibits maximum strength, translucent pearlescence, and excellent shade-matching.
We use state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology in our designs, allowing the doctors, the lab techs, and the patient the opportunity to fine-tune esthetics and function. CAD/CAM uses computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing to improve the design and creation of your dental restorations including crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed bridges, dental implant restorations, dentures (removable or fixed), and orthodontic appliances. CAD/CAM complements earlier technologies used for these purposes by any combination of increasing the speed of design and creation; increasing the convenience or simplicity of the design, creation, and insertion processes; and making possible restorations and appliances that otherwise would have been infeasible.
