Esthetically
Speaking

Some of the greatest compliments dentists could ever receive are
the ones they never hear. When a patient has someone say to
them “You have a beautiful smile” – that’s priceless! What dentist
wouldn’t want to have “walking billboards” around town, advertising their cosmetic work?

In order to give your patients the confidence they deserve in their
new smile, you must have confidence in the esthetic team at your
lab. Fuji Dental Lab is proud to have one of the top five Master
Ceramists in the world as a partner in the company, and hundreds
of dentists around the country are glad to have him, too! Yuji Ono
became a partner of Fuji Dental Lab in 1983 and has helped doc-

tors change many lives with his talented team of elite Master
Ceramists.

Yuji Ono was an instructor at Osaka University and at Tokyo
University’s College of Dental Technology before partnering with
Estep. Yuji personally trains each ceramist at Fuji and has had
countless students travel from Japan to the U.S. on a student visa
program to train under him. This has allowed Ono to hand select
only the most talented ceramists to join his esthetic team. Their
skill in giving anterior restorations a life-like translucency with
natural labial and lingual anatomy, perfect contours, concave
necks and uncompromising attention to detail is second to none.
“We have the most talented Master Ceramists ever assembled
under one roof,” says Estep. He adds, “There is not a better
esthetic team in the world and that gives our doctors the confidence to do more cosmetic restorations with even the most particular and high-profile patients.”

Kelli at Fuji’s front office and she’ll coordinate the scheduling for
their ceramist, Tam Thi (pronounced “Tam Tee”) to customize the
shade of your patient’s anterior crowns prior to scheduling your
patient. The folks at Fuji know how important this type of per-
