Shade taking can often be a complex, time consuming and challenging process for many dental clinicians, especially with today’s patients’ greater awareness of dental treatments and high demands for beautiful aesthetics.
At McDowell and Service Dental Laboratory we offer a comprehensive shading taking service for such patients.
When visiting the lab for shade taking, patients are greeted in our welcoming reception area and taken through to our purpose built shade consultation room.
Shade analysis is done with the aid of the MHT Spectra Shade shade taking device, the Optilume Trueshade and Smileline light-colour correcting lamps, in conjunction with the Vita Classical and 3D shade guides, as well as GC Initial, Noritake and e.Ceram shade tabs.
When referring a patient for a shade consultation at the laboratory, please contact our reception to arrange an appointment time.
We have a surgery area where patients can been seen by our senior technicians.
Personalised tooth positioning with resulting improved lip support are essential for life-like denture appearance and this can be achieved when the technician sees the patient.

It is no wonder there is confusion around as to which appliance, crown or both, would be best. With this in mind we have put together an informal presentation on some of the products which we feel may give your surgery a more informed choice and keep you at the leading edge of dental technology.
McDowell + Service Dental Laboratory was formed back in 1979 and has a wealth of experience in all dental fields, so from single crowns through to combination cases on implants, let us work with you on choosing the correct prosthesis.
