Which code does this activity belong in?
Dental Laboratories comprises establishments that manufacture customized dental products for individual patients, such as dentures, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances. This code is distinct from Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing, which covers the production of equipment and materials used by dental laboratories and dental offices, including dental chairs, instruments, and impression materials. Dental Laboratories also differs from Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing, which produces prosthetic appliances and other surgical devices, rather than the tooth-specific custom products that define dental laboratory work.
