ABOUT
Design Dental was founded by Drew in 1986 as Ford's Dental Lab. It started as a small lab in a garage with very little equipment and even less work coming in. From there, by consistent hard work and quality products, this seed grew into a local treasure of over 30 years. His son, Trey, having spent his childhood in the lab, decided to join the family business in 2013. Since then Design Dental has been investing in technology and pushing boundaries in digital dentistry. The blend of man & machine, craftsmanship & design, steady hands and precise systems has taken this family business from one man's dream to a generational legacy.

Design Dental is committed to continued innovation, service and quality. The past is a part of us, the future is where we are headed.
