Since 1989
Dental Crafters has been a full-service dental laboratory and has been servicing the needs of dentists and their patients throughout North America and beyond. In an apprentice-like manner, current owners Robert Slominski and Brad Slominski learned the dental industry from Dental Crafters’ original owner and their father Jac Slominski. Starting from an early age, they have served in a variety of capacities including dental technicians, customer liaisons, sales, supervisors, trainers, and research and development.
Keeping a keen entrepreneurial eye on the industry, in 2006 they recognized the surgical implant guide industry as a niche market they could naturally serve. As a result, Robert and Brad co-founded Implant Solutions, LLC. A company independent of Dental Crafters, Implant Solutions offers a Treatment Proposal Service for doctors wishing to use guided surgery without needing to purchase the software.
In that same entrepreneurial vein, in 2009, Dental Crafters, Inc. launched DC Milling, a division of Dental Crafters. As a laboratory itself, and over the years, Dental Crafters began to observe the growing needs of smaller labs not wishing to invest in additional technology. Because of this, Dental Crafters started to implement ways of becoming a partnering, behind-the-scenes lab to complement the smaller labs. As a result, DC Milling offers its products and services to other laboratories at any point in the restorative process.
Today, Dental Crafters, Inc. continues the tradition of combining an honest day’s work with client service second to none.
