Quas Dental Laboratory

What Quas Dental Laboratory does

Quas Dental Laboratory is a family-owned custom dental laboratory founded in 1985 and headquartered in Elmhurst, Illinois. The company manufactures bespoke dental prosthetics for general dentists in private practice across the Chicagoland region, operating under owners Eric and Rebecca Quas with a headcount of 1-10 employees. It explicitly positions itself as a custom lab rather than a large production lab, functioning as an extension of the dental team through direct communication, technical consultation, and personalized service.

The laboratory's core product portfolio spans four categories: metal-ceramic restorations (PFM in non-precious, noble, and high noble variants), full cast crowns (multiple alloy options including gold), all-ceramic restorations (e.max and zirconia in full-contour and layered formats), and implant abutments (stock titanium, custom milled zirconia/titanium, and UCLA options). Supporting services include digital scanning and custom milling via CAD/CAM, custom shade matching, post and core, Maryland bridges, diagnostic wax-ups, ERA attachments, guide planes and rests, metal occlusal treatments, and porcelain butt margin techniques.

Commercially, the lab operates a B2B sales motion targeting dental practices, with quote-based pricing per case and no publicly disclosed price points or tiers. Revenue is generated one restoration at a time via direct prescriptions submitted through the lab's order form. Customer acquisition is predominantly referral-driven, supplemented by recommendations from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry's Department of Fixed Prosthodontics, and supported by a website featuring testimonials, downloadable RX forms, and a Free Restoration Certificate offer. The geographic footprint is regional, concentrated in the greater Chicago metropolitan area with occasional references to broader Midwest United States reach.

Core offering

Quas Dental Laboratory is a custom dental laboratory that manufactures dental restorations for dentists on a per-case basis. Its product line includes porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns in non-precious, noble, and high-noble variants, full cast crowns in multiple alloys, all-ceramic restorations (e.max and zirconia), and implant abutments (stock titanium, custom milled in zirconia or titanium, and UCLA). The lab blends CAD/CAM digital scanning and custom milling with traditional hand-crafted artistry to deliver restorations submitted via dentist prescriptions.

Product overview

Quas Dental Laboratory operates as a custom dental laboratory (not a large production lab) serving Chicagoland dentists since 1985. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of dental restoration products organized into four main categories: Metal-Ceramic Restorations (PFM variants), Full Cast Crowns (multiple alloy options), All Ceramic Restorations (e.max and zirconia systems), and Implant Abutments (stock and custom milled). These core products are supported by additional precision services including digital scanning and custom milling via CAD/CAM technology, custom shade matching and staining, post and core, Maryland bridges, diagnostic wax-ups, ERA attachments, and various margin/occlusal techniques. The laboratory emphasizes blending digital technology (CAD/CAM, digital scanning) with traditional hand-crafted artistry, positioning itself as an extension of dental teams rather than a simple vendor.
