Frequently Asked Questions
For dentists partnering with Swiss Dental Art
Isn’t premium lab work just a higher cost that cuts into my margin?
It’s the opposite when you run the numbers. Our premium is modest and varies by case — but a single remake costs you at least an hour of lost chair time, and at a dentist’s hourly production rate, that lost hour alone outweighs the premium many times over. Getting it right the first time protects both your schedule and your margin. The math works against any dentist the moment there’s one remake.
What does the premium actually buy me?
Predictability and fewer remakes. Daniele’s restorations are matched by eye and crafted by hand to minimize chairside adjustments and re-dos. You spend less time reworking cases and more time on productive, billable dentistry — while your patient walks out with a result that looks completely natural.
How does this affect my reputation?
A single visible mismatch on an anterior tooth is what patients remember — and talk about. Premium ceramic work protects the reputation you’ve spent years building. When a restoration disappears seamlessly into the smile, you become the hero of that patient’s case and earn the referrals that follow.
How do I offer premium restorations to more of my patients?
Lead with the outcome, not the lab fee. Patients don’t buy ceramics — they buy a result that looks completely natural and lasts. When you present premium work as the standard for anterior aesthetics rather than an upgrade reserved for a few, more patients say yes, and your case acceptance and referrals grow with it.
Do you work with clients outside Silicon Valley?
Yes. While our studio is based in Redwood City, we’re not limited to the Bay Area — we’ve completed cases for patients as far away as New York City, including clients in the fashion business.
