All your teeth play an important role in speaking, chewing and in maintaining proper alignment of other teeth. Tooth loss doesn't necessarily have to occur as you age, but if you do lose teeth, they must be replaced to maintain proper function of your mouth. Fortunately, there are options for correcting tooth loss.

I have a part idea, but no drawing – can you help?
LCS works with several part design vendors who can translate your idea into a detailed part drawing and a 3D model.
How do you handle confidential drawings?
LCS is often asked to sign confidentiality agreements prior to viewing customer drawings. If you don’t have a form you prefer to use, we can provide a standard one.
Who owns the tool once it is made?
Tools paid for by customers are customer owned assets that LCS stores between runs for our customers. In some cases LCS will amortize the tooling cost into the part price for customers. In these cases until enough parts are shipped to pay off the tool or the customer buys out the tool, it is owned by LCS in the same way a bank owns your car until the loan is paid off. In some cases we will quote no-cost tooling on a project. These tools are owned by LCS.
How much does a tool cost?
Why does annual volume matter?
What type of volume do I need to do business with you?
Do you offer textured parts?
What color options can you provide?
What type of resins can you mold? How will I know what will work for my part?
I need to bring the cost down on an existing part – can you help?
I’m unhappy with my existing molder. Can you run my mold?
We can provide you with the questions you will need to ask your current molder for us to determine if we can run your mold. LCS can run most standardized molds, however if a proprietary insert mold was used it may be difficult or impossible for LCS or any other molder to take over your project without incurring retooling costs.
What is rapid prototyping and when should I consider it?
Do you offer UV inhibitors?
Cavitation – what is it and why does it matter?
What does LCS make in-house and what is outsourced globally?
Do you have a quality program? Are you ISO certified?
Yes, LCS is a ISO 9001:2015 certified company, registered by TÜV SÜD America
What kind of turn-around can I expect? On tools? On production parts?
Have you worked with my industry or type of part before?
"I chose the Cedar Clinic for my orthodontic treatment as it was recommended to me by my dentist. The practice was and still is very friendly and as I was a very nervous patient the staff and particularly Sharan Gill, the orthodontist, always very calming and patient with me. I would recommend the Cedar Clinic to anyone – I also had whitening treatment and a wisdom tooth taken out at the practice. Sharan always takes an interest in me. She makes me feel more like a friend than a patient. Keep up the good work."
