Excel Dental Studios was established as a full-service dental laboratory in 1970. Its services include visual diagnostic waxup, custom temporary bridge, video imaging and the Procera AllCeram Crown. It also offers other services, such as diagnostic work and video imaging. Additionally, it incorporates various processes, such as laser welding, pressable ceramics, microwave burnout and vacuum pressure casting. Its diagnostic waxup process is a visual representation of the proposed treatment plan, created in wax on a duplicate of preoperative model for the patient to see the difference between the original model and the waxup. Excel Dental Studios is a founding member of the TEREC organization, a select group of independently owned regional dental laboratories. Its 6,000-square-foot facility is located in Blaine, Minn.
