About Us

Who we are and our experience…
Dental Lab Direct’s founder has been in the dental and orthodontic industry for 30+ years and has done dental lab work for HUNDREDS of dentists & orthodontists all over the United States. His years of work & research for the dental/orthodontic community has yielded the finest process & products available. In 1997, he earned a U.S. Patent for another dental appliance “sports mouthpiece” that can be used to prevent snoring.
My name is Robert S. Owen; I’m the managing partner for Dental Lab Direct, the web portion of a 30 year old lab that has serviced over 800 dentists & orthodontists. Until recently, customized dental appliances were available to the public only through your dentist. This was largely due to the level of skill in taking one’s teeth impression, the impression required to cast a model and create customized trays. Most dentists send teeth IMPRESSIONS to dental labs to be cast, molded, & customized into form fitting oral appliances delivered back to the patient a few weeks later. Typically, the cost for upper & lower whitening trays range between $300.00 and $800.00!
Today, with the advent of our Personal Impression Kit, it’s possible to take your own teeth impression usually taking less than five minutes for both the upper and lower teeth. Just drop the kit along with your impressions in the mail to our lab…the same lab dentists & orthodontists use, yet costing 60-90% less by “skipping the trip”…eliminating the need for a D.D.S. to fit a nightguard, pair of Professional Customized Tooth Whitening Trays, Invisible Retainers, Snoring Appliance or even Invisible Braces! We ask for 10 business days to complete your order upon receiving your impressions. Remember, your mouthpiece is being custom made; and it takes a little longer than purchasing them from a store or worse, the dentist. All you have to provide us is your teeth impression…
