Ernest Schmidt, CDT
I have over 25 years of dental technology experience and have been involved in every aspect of the crown and bridge laboratory. I pride myself on the broad range of my technical and clinical knowledge.

Through my study of dental technology, I have become a viable information resource for many reputable dentists in the region. I have both lectured and given workshops in New York and the Northeast on topics from impression materials and bur selection, to setting protocol in complex cases. I am knowledgeable in both the Kois protocol and the Pankey protocol, and I am committed to persistently educating myself.

Audrey Schmidt, CDT
I have been a dental ceramist for more than 20 years, and I am fascinated by the morphology, function, and beauty of natural teeth. I have spent my career studying the art of light refraction and color reproduction in all of my work.

I am knowledgeable and skilled in many areas of crown and bridge technology, and I attribute this to my constant pursuit for continuing education and hands on work with some of the nation’s leading dental technology masters.

For the last eight years I have specialized in many facets of restorative dentistry, from taking custom shades, utilizing all facets of photography, and reproducing lifelike restorations in both traditional pfm and all-ceramic cases for local and national cases.
