Founded in 1946 in Roanoke, Virginia, Saunders Dental Laboratory was built on a principle that still drives us today: exceptional work, fair pricing, and personal service. What began as a small operation rooted in old-school craftsmanship has evolved into a full-service lab serving all 50 states — without ever losing the attention to detail that our founders demanded. The techniques may have changed, but the standards haven't. Every case still passes through the hands of skilled technicians who take the same pride in their work that started it all nearly eight decades ago.

While we honor the craft that built us, we never stop investing in what's next. Our lab integrates advanced CAD/CAM design, in-house milling, and 3D printing alongside traditional handwork — giving us the precision of modern technology with the eye of experienced artisans. We work with industry-leading materials from partners like Argen, Dentsply, Ivoclar, and IPS e.max, and accept digital scans from all major intraoral scanners. The result is restorations that fit right the first time — built faster, more accurately, and more consistently than ever before.

Technology changes. Relationships don't. Every Saunders client has direct access to real technicians who know your cases, understand your preferences, and are invested in your outcomes. Whether you're transitioning to a digital workflow for the first time or you've been sending us cases for decades, we meet you where you are — with responsive communication, honest guidance, and the reliability that has kept dental professionals coming back to us since 1946.
