Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory
When a dental clinic runs its own laboratory, every restoration is made under the same roof where it will be fitted. The Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory is an in-house production facility — staffed by 16 specialists and equipped with four industrial CAD/CAM milling systems. Shorter production cycles, precise fit verification, and same-day adjustments when needed.

Why an In-House Laboratory Changes Patient Outcomes
Most dental clinics send restorations to external laboratories. Communication between clinic and lab happens by post or courier; adjustments require re-dispatch and additional waiting time. At Citydent, the dental laboratory is on-site. When a crown needs a minor correction before final fitting, the technician can address it the same day — without shipping delays, without rescheduling.
This integrated workflow produces measurable advantages. The treating dentist and the dental technician work from the same digital scan, reviewing the same 3D model before milling begins. Discrepancies are caught in the design phase, not at the fitting appointment. For patients travelling to Istanbul for dental treatment, this coordination is particularly valuable: fewer revision visits, tighter timelines, and a single point of accountability.
The Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory supports all restorative and implant procedures performed at the clinic — zirconia crowns, porcelain veneers, implant-supported bridges, custom abutments, and PMMA temporaries.
In-House Capabilities
The laboratory handles the full production chain from digital scan to finished restoration.
- Zirconia restorationsFull-contour crowns and bridges milled in-house from high-strength zirconia blocks. All sintering performed on-site using dedicated high-temperature furnaces.
- Implant-supported prostheticsImplant crowns, fixed bridges, and full-arch frameworks designed to exact implant specifications. Compatible with all major implant systems used at Citydent.
- Custom implant abutmentsIndividually designed and milled abutments for non-standard emergence profiles. Supporting dental implant procedure Istanbul outcomes with patient-specific components.
- Porcelain veneersLaminate veneers produced using Swiss Ivoclar ceramic furnaces. Each veneer shaped to the approved wax-up before final pressing. Porcelain veneers Turkey cases benefit directly from in-house ceramic control.
- PMMA temporariesMilled PMMA provisionals for complex cases requiring extended healing or smile preview approval before final restorations.
- Same-day adjustmentsMinor occlusal or marginal corrections completed the same day without rescheduling.
Technology at the Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory
The Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory operates a fully digital workflow supported by German and Swiss industrial equipment. Dental technology Istanbul — clinic and lab share the same digital infrastructure. All digital files are retained after production, enabling re-milling without a new impression if a restoration is ever damaged.
Redon Hybrid CAD/CAM
Multiple units. Multi-axis milling: wet for titanium, dry for zirconia and PMMA. Industrial precision for implant-level accuracy.
Redon GTR System
Latest-generation unit for titanium bar frameworks and complex full-arch cases requiring maximum dimensional accuracy.
Zirconia Sintering
OneDental HTS-2M and Zubler Vario S400. Precise high-temperature control and uniform heat distribution for maximum fracture resistance.
Ceramic & Press Furnaces
Swiss Ivoclar press furnaces for veneers and all-ceramic crowns. Zubler units for layering ceramic. Precise firing cycles control translucency and finish.
Materials at the Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory
The Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory sources materials exclusively from established dental manufacturers. High-strength multi-layer zirconia blocks provide the gradient translucency required for natural-looking results. Titanium components comply with implant-grade material standards. PMMA blocks used for temporaries are biocompatible, dimensionally stable, and colour-stable during healing periods.
Ceramic layering materials are matched to the specific zirconia substrate. The combination of matched materials and controlled firing conditions — rather than either factor alone — determines the final optical result.
Every zirconia porcelain crowns Istanbul case uses material batches logged to the patient file, allowing full traceability. Quality is backed by the Citydent treatment guarantee.
Common Questions About Our Dental Lab
Does Citydent use its own dental laboratory for all treatments?
All prosthetic restorations fitted at Citydent — crowns, veneers, implant bridges, custom abutments — are produced in the Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory. Temporary restorations used during healing are also milled in-house.
What is the advantage of an in-house dental lab for patients travelling to Istanbul?
For patients with limited time in Istanbul, in-house production removes the main source of scheduling unpredictability. Adjustments and refinements are handled the same day, reducing the risk of an unplanned return visit. Implant and full-mouth cases with multiple restorations benefit most from this setup.
What materials does Citydent use for zirconia crowns?
The dental laboratory uses high-strength multi-layer zirconia blocks. The specific grade is selected based on the clinical indication — posterior crowns prioritise fracture strength; anterior crowns use translucent-gradient grades for natural aesthetics. Your treating dentist will confirm the material specification for your case.
Can Citydent produce same-day restorations?
Same-day milling is available for specific restoration types, primarily single-unit crowns. Full-arch implant cases and complex multi-unit bridges require standard production timelines. Your treatment plan will include an accurate production schedule before your first appointment.
How is the Citydent dental lab connected to the clinic?
The dental laboratory Istanbul facility operates within the same building as the clinic. The treating dentist submits digital scan files directly to the Citydent Istanbul Dental Laboratory team. Design approval involves both clinical and technical staff before milling begins. This Citydent dental Istanbul integration enables same-session adjustments.
