Dental lab in Kansas City has come a long way with technology. Chad Griffin, a dental technician at Dentek, Inc. Dental Laboratory in Kansas City shares his experience with increasing technology in the dental industry.
“In 1991, George H.W. Bush was President, grunge was in, The Simpsons was the new show on television, and Dentek Lab was a small, but growing company. I, Chad Griffin, a young man at the age of 19 had just landed my first real job as a dental technician getting the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of sculpting teeth from porcelain. Dentek Lab was a small business with about 20 employees producing a modest seventy plus crowns a day. At this time Dentek Lab was strictly fabricating porcelain fused to metal crowns (PFMs), which were the most aesthetically pleasing and reliable form of cosmetic dentistry at the time. Years passed and technology advanced, I’ve not only seen, but would like to consider myself a part of Dentek Lab becoming one of the largest crown and bridge labs in the nation. As of 2014, the company has evolved in many areas of cosmetic dentistry from PFMs to full e.max porcelain restorations to Zirconia crowns and bridges. Still based in Kansas City, the company is substantially larger, and along with the help of many dedicated and skilled employees, has increased crown and bridge production significantly over the years. I personally am very thankful that I was given such an opportunity at a young age to get involved in a field that has not only grown, but evolved over the last 20 plus years. I am very proud to say that I am a part of a company that has been dedicated to a skill and trade for the better part of our lives and enjoy what we do here at Dentek Lab.”
