Local roots. Experienced technicians. Advanced technology. Personal relationships.

When dentists choose a dental laboratory, they select more than just a company to fabricate a restoration. They choose a partner—one who understands their standards, communicates clearly, solves problems, and takes pride in the final result.


At Image Dental Arts, we believe that this is what sets a great dental lab apart. For over 20 years, we have proudly served dentists and patients throughout Western North Carolina and beyond. As a privately owned, family-operated dental laboratory, we have built our reputation one relationship, one case, and one restoration at a time.


Local Roots. Personal Relationships.


Being locally owned matters. In an industry increasingly dominated by large corporate laboratories, Image Dental Arts remains committed to providing something different: personal service and genuine relationships.


We know our doctors. We know their preferences. We understand their workflows. When a question arises, you can talk to a real person who knows your account and your cases. We believe the best laboratory partnerships are built on communication, trust, and shared goals—not simply on a case number.


Experience You Can Trust


Dental technology continues to evolve, but experience remains invaluable. Our team brings over a century of combined experience across every area of dental laboratory work. This includes highly trained technicians, 8 Certified Dental Technicians, master ceramists, and many technicians with specialized training.


That experience allows us to combine proven techniques with today's most advanced digital workflows. Whether we're creating a single anterior restoration or a complex full-arch implant case, our goal remains the same:

Exceptional fit. Exceptional esthetics. Exceptional service.


Where Craftsmanship Meets Technology


Being a modern dental laboratory doesn't mean replacing craftsmanship with technology. We believe the best results come from combining the two. Our digital capabilities allow us to work efficiently and predictably while maintaining the attention to detail that dentists and patients expect.


We accept digital impressions and STL files and offer a wide range of digital services, including:


  • Crowns & Bridges

  • Full-Arch Implant Restorations

  • Digital Dentures

  • Printed & Milled Dentures

  • Implant Surgical Guides

  • Splints & Nightguards

  • Custom 3D-Printed Trays

  • Printed Models

  • Diagnostic Wax-Ups & Smile Designs

  • Provisionals & Temporary Restorations

  • Digital Design Services


From digital impression to final restoration, our team works to make the process as seamless as possible for your practice.


Esthetics That Make a Difference


A restoration can be technically correct and still fall short aesthetically. At Image Dental Arts, we believe exceptional esthetics require more than precision alone. They require artistry, experience, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes each smile unique.


Our Image Studio Series represents our commitment to high-end esthetic dentistry. Designed for cases where the details matter most, the Studio Series combines advanced materials, experienced ceramists, artistic characterization, and individualized case planning to create restorations that look and feel beautifully natural.


Every smile is different. Shade, translucency, texture, anatomy, proportion, surface characterization, and light reflection all contribute to the final result. Our ceramics team carefully considers these details to create restorations that complement the patient's individual features rather than simply looking like a restoration.


We work closely with our doctors throughout the process—from case planning and communication to the final restoration—to understand the vision and bring it to life. Because high-end esthetics aren't just about making a restoration look good. They're about creating a smile that looks naturally beautiful.

The Image Studio Series — where advanced technology meets exceptional artistry.


Service That Goes Beyond the Case


We believe our responsibility doesn't end when a restoration leaves our laboratory. Our team is here to help throughout the process—from case planning and communication to delivery and follow-up.


For local practices, our courier service provides convenient pickup and delivery throughout the region. We also offer nationwide shipping and expedited turnaround options when timing matters. Our goal is simple:

Make working with your dental laboratory easier.


Helping Dentists Embrace Digital Dentistry


Digital dentistry is changing the way dental practices communicate with their laboratories. That's why we've invested in digital workflows, CAD/CAM technology, 3D printing, and scanner partnerships designed to make communication more efficient.


Our Image Scanner Program helps practices integrate leading intraoral scanning technology into their workflow with no upfront costs and no monthly fees, subject to program terms. The result is better communication between the dental office and laboratory, fewer barriers in the workflow, and a more streamlined experience for everyone involved.


More Than a Dental Lab—A Partner


The best dental laboratory relationship is one where the laboratory feels like an extension of the dental practice. That's what we strive to create at Image Dental Arts. We want to understand your goals. We want to learn how your practice works. We want to know what matters to you and your patients. And we want to continuously improve alongside you.


From continuing education and digital workflow support to our iRewards Loyalty Program, we are continually looking for ways to provide more value to the practices we serve.
