An important note to all referring physicians

Silicone facial prostheses are attempted by various clinicians and technicians, but truly faithful anatomical renditions – the kind that make patients happy – are only possible in the hands of practitioners with a balance of the right temperament, training and natural artistic talent. All of our masters-prepared practitioners have proven artistic skills, specialty prosthetics clinical training and a willingness to take the time both in the lab and with the patient that is necessary to deliver truly successful and aesthetic restorations. I hope you will provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate our skill and earn your confidence for patients who can benefit wherever they live.
