About TPS Digital Dental Lab

TPS Digital Dental Lab was founded by John W. Lee, CDT, TE — a technician raised in dentistry and shaped by both clinical and laboratory experience. As the son of a dentist, John began working in his father’s practice during the early CEREC Red Cam era and has remained deeply immersed in digital dentistry ever since.

After earning his AAS in Dental Laboratory Technology and achieving certification, John spent the next ten years training under a highly respected aesthetic technician, refining advanced hand-layering and cosmetic techniques before ultimately purchasing the laboratory. That decade of analog artistry now informs every digital design.

Since working with Dentsply Sirona’s inLab system beginning in 2015, John has focused on translating traditional aesthetic principles into precise digital workflows — ensuring restorations are not only accurate, but naturally beautiful.

TPS is built on high-quality American-made zirconia, disciplined craftsmanship, and a commitment to honest recommendations — even when it impacts the bottom line.

Pure 3Y Zirconia
Maximum strength and fracture resistance for posterior and implant restorations. Endorsed in clinical research and long recommended by leaders like Dr. Gordon J. Christensen for durability and long-term performance.

Translucent 4Y/5Y Zirconia
TPS Elevate is engineered for enhanced translucency and natural light diffusion while maintaining reliable strength for everyday restorations. Its increased cubic phase allows for lifelike blending in anterior and cosmetic cases without sacrificing the structural advantages of zirconia. Elevate delivers aesthetic refinement within a precise digital workflow.

Glass Ceramics (e.max)
Glass ceramics like e.max offer exceptional translucency and lifelike esthetics for anterior and cosmetic dentistry. Ideal for veneers, anterior crowns, and conservative restorations, these cases are designed through a precise digital workflow and finished for natural shade, contour, and value integration.

Through our partnership with Argen, we provide digitally planned clear aligner therapy designed for predictable, controlled tooth movement. Each case is guided by precise 3D treatment planning to deliver aesthetic, comfortable results your patients can trust.

We rely on TPS for our aesthetic cases because their digital workflow is efficient and the results are consistently high quality. Communication is straightforward, and cases are easy from scan to seat.
