If you can find a dentist that has a dental lab on the premises, you can save a whole lot of money, since the work doesn't have to be sent out to another lab to be done. I go to a dentist in Md that has it's own lab and technicians, and all the work is done there without a third party lab being involved. It's a 2 hour drive from here, but it's worth it, considering that these local dentists charge an arm and a leg for crowns, partials or full dentures.
