At the office of Stephen J. Minns, it is our ongoing goal to provide top of the line products and procedures for our patients.  The products used in our office are approved by the FDA. We also continue to invest our time into current technology, furthering our education, and using all the finest materials to guarantee patients continued satisfaction in our services. By comparison you may find that some other dental offices offer a lower fee for services.  However, statistics show that discounted dental plans use dangerous substandard materials such as foreign made crowns to offset the fees. Crowns from these laboratories are linked to lead contamination in the porcelain and radioactive isotopes in the alloy. Our laboratory, Alpha Dental Studio, is a member of the NADL (National Association of Dental Laboratories) and ACDLA (American Cosmetic Dental Laboratories) which guarantees that the products used are FDA approved.  For further information you can visit the following websites: www.whatsinmymouth.us, www.chinadentaldangers.com and www.nadl.org.
