Welcome to the Aesthetic Porcelain Studios, Inc. website. We are, the full service dental laboratory located in Universal City, California, the heart of the Motion Picture industry. We have been fabricating beautiful smiles for over 26 years, with a national and international following.

Founded by President David Block in 1974, our lab is outfitted with all the latest equipment and expertise, and we are known for our innovative techniques, high-end aesthetic restorations, and quality products. . We have devised a new manufacturing technique; the Block Inlay Bridge™ that uses cast metal as the substructure in minimal invasive restorations, and are the first laboratory in North America to advance manufacturing technology in this area. We are also proud to be first in obtaining ISO certification, a rigorous quality control compliance process.

Please allow us to share a few moments of your time and introduce some of our services to you...Let's start with Porcelain Veneers...

In the early 1980's many Hollywood celebrities were among the first to use Feldspathic porcelain veneers through Aesthetic Porcelain Studios to create their picture perfect smiles. The porcelain we use is very strong and stain resistant. It has the same translucent polychromatic shade quality as natural tooth enamel and can give your patients a healthy younger looking smile. When used to restore or straighten the appearance of one or two teeth, porcelain veneers can be color matched to the rest of the teeth. Aesthetic Porcelain Studios can whiten, brighten, and even block out the most severe stains of any tooth, even discoloration caused by tetracycline.

As a full service laboratory, we specialize in spectacular lifelike veneers, and offer crown and bridge, precision partials, implants and dentures, featuring the exclusive E-Z Suctioncup™ soft lining denture system. As our newest technological breakthrough; the E-Z Suctioncup™ lining technique utilizes hundreds of tiny suction cups to provide superior retention and stability, without adhesives or tissue irritation. As seen in Dental Economics, The Richards Report, and other industry publications, we have also created the accompanying care products; E-Z Kleen™ Denture Cleaner and E-Z Brite™, Tartar and Stain Remover. Non-toxic, and thoroughly tested by APS, these effective cleaners can be recommended with confidence, and will prolong the wear of all soft lining materials.

You may have already heard of E-Z Contact™. This timesaving innovation is designed to close open contacts, for pontic additions, and for filling in all triangular spaces on anterior teeth, right at the chair side! A real time saver, it eliminates the need for patient rescheduling.

As seen in the Profitable Dentist, E-Z Renew™ helps you master the technique of in-the-mouth ceramic repairs, which have broken down to the metal. When the FDA approved oral ceramic-etch for intraoral use, many dentists discovered the value of hydrofluoric solution. By using a controlled percentage of hydrofluoric acid gel, and APS Technology's specially formulated oral-ceramic etch, microscopic retentive areas are created on the porcelain surface This facilitates a strong bond with the composite resin utilizing E-Z Contact™, a key component necessary for optimal aesthetic results. Save thousands of dollars by eliminating wasted chair time, as well as costly laboratory fees for tasks you can now do yourself - even highly recommended and approved by C.R.A.

Our E-Z Shade™ Custom Shade Colorization kit lets you be the artist! Match any tooth's shade against an existing dentition, right in your office. Developed by us to make it easier for you to quickly refine the match of a shade guide tab to the patient's tooth, this is a very simple technique and perfect matching can be accomplished in a minute or two. Temporary shades are "air-fired" onto any shade tab and are not permanent. This hands-on visual approach creates an exact replica of what you and your patient expects to see on the final restoration.

These are just some of the newest in quality products and innovations developed by Mr. Block, and just one of the reasons why all of the top clinicians and lecturers in Dentistry are talking about him. Mr. Block is endorsed and recommended by Dr. Joe Blaes, the editor of Dental Economics, Dr. Rich Madow, the editor of the Richards Report, and Dr. Woody Oakes, the editor of the Profitable Dentist, among others. They have even sent their own personal cases to us, with fabulous results.

Mr. Block is known for his technical mastery and skill, personal hands-on approach, case consultations, and his proven ability to make the most complicated case into a routine one. As Dr. Blaes has said, ".David and his staff are able to understand what you are trying to accomplish, even when you are sometimes unable to be clear what you expect." Let us help you to obtain the optimal results for all of your cases!
