Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Pick-ups and Deliveries

Horizon Dental Laboratory handles deliveries and pick-ups in different ways depending on the situation. Often times we do these ourselves and other times, we use a delivery service. We choose the best way based on where and when a case needs to be delivered or when we receive a call for a pick up.

If you have a case ready for pick up, please call us at (847) 982-1150 and we will make the arrangements for you.
