The Five Fs of Design

At Mankato Dental Laboratory, we put the client’s needs first and aim to create a quick and seamless process so you can get back to doing what matters most to you.

The Five Fs of Design are our North Star for providing best-in-class service to our clients.

1. FIT

Attention to detail in the finish of a framework means fewer chair-side adjustments saving you valuable time/money. Not to mention a happier patient.

2. FUNCTION

Proper retention, strength, preservation of existing teeth and tissue, and a high-luster polish are just some of the keys to a successful restoration. No longer are Partials a path to a Full Denture.

3. FORM

The best partial is one that no one knows is there (including the patient). Esthetic clasps, free-flowing designs that follow the natural oral contours, and minimal bulkiness on a jewelry-like finish are all trademarks of our frames.

4. FUTURE

Often the forgotten aspect, we feel that keeping options open for additions is also a key component of creating a high-quality experience. We build trust and loyalty into each case by striving to make each one of our RPD’s the last one your patient will ever need.

5. FINANCIAL

By balancing out the previous four fundamentals, we provide a path to help you keep an eye on the bottom line. Not to mention, we produce our own frames, allowing us to provide an extraordinary value at a reasonable price.
