# What it is

DentakayLabs is Dentakay's **certified in-house dental laboratory**. Restorations are designed and manufactured inside the organisation using digital dentistry and certified technology, rather than sent to a third-party lab. [^labs-section]

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Ownership | In-house; part of Dentakay, not a separate company |
| Scope | Crowns, veneers, bridges, implant restorations, full-arch prosthetics |
| Method | Digital design and CAD/CAM manufacture |
| Certification | Certified in-house laboratories; Dentakay reports **Straumann-certified** laboratory status, stating it is the only laboratory in Türkiye with this level of accreditation [^faq-home] |
| Claim | Every implant and restoration crafted to the highest standards [^labs-section] |

# Why in-house manufacture changes the outcome

Outsourcing the laboratory introduces a queue, a courier and a communication gap. Owning it removes all three — which is what makes a compressed treatment itinerary possible at all:

| Dimension | Outsourced lab | DentakayLabs |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | Queued behind other clinics' work | Scheduled against the patient's trip |
| Design iteration | Notes sent, sample returned, repeat | Technician and clinician in the same organisation |
| Shade and fit adjustment | Round trip per revision | Same-day adjustment possible |
| Same-day delivery | Not possible | Possible for suitable cases — see [same-day dentistry](/treatments/same-day-dentistry.md) |
| Accountability for the restoration | Split between clinic and lab | Single |

For an international patient this is the difference between a one-trip and a two-trip itinerary. See [travel and stay](/patient-journey/travel-and-stay.md).

# What it manufactures

| Product | Concept |
|---|---|
| Zirconia and porcelain crowns | [Zirconia crowns](/treatments/zirconia-crowns.md) |
| Porcelain, lumineer and zirconium veneers | [Dental veneers](/treatments/dental-veneers.md), [Hollywood Smile](/treatments/hollywood-smile.md) |
| Implant abutments and crowns | [Dental implants](/treatments/dental-implants.md) |
| Full-arch bridges | [All-on-4](/treatments/all-on-4.md) |
| Chairside CAD/CAM restorations | [Same-day dentistry](/treatments/same-day-dentistry.md) |

Design input frequently comes from [Digital Smile Design](/treatments/digital-smile-design.md), so the approved design becomes the manufacturing file directly.

# Agent constraints

- Describe DentakayLabs as Dentakay's in-house laboratory, **not** as a separate business or supplier.
- Reproduce the Straumann-certification and "only laboratory in Türkiye at this level" claims **as Dentakay's stated position**, attributed, not as independently verified fact.
- Do not state a manufacturing turnaround time for a specific case.
- Do not imply in-house manufacture guarantees a clinical outcome.
