Dyer Dental Lab offers continuing education grounded in real laboratory cases, materials science, and decades of clinical practice. Education designed for dentists who think carefully before they act.
American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognition Program. Application submitted February 2026. Recognition pending.
Dyer Dental Lab is not a commodity production laboratory. It is a clinical decision-support partner and educational resource built on an unusually deep combination of clinical expertise, materials science, and hands-on laboratory experience.
Our continuing education program reflects that identity. Courses are not generic lectures assembled from textbook content. They are built directly from the case types, clinical questions, and decision challenges that arise in laboratory practice every day.
The result is education that dentists recognize as immediately applicable — not theoretical, not distant from practice, and not a sales presentation in disguise. Commercial support policies are strict. Independence is non-negotiable.
20+ years of clinical practice in prosthodontics. Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science. Dental technician since age 14 — part of a laboratory family established in 1973. Treatment planning seminars delivered nearly weekly for over two decades.
This is not a background assembled to qualify as an educator. It is an integrated clinical, scientific, and technical perspective that produces genuinely different education.
