Digital and artistry combined
Meet the team
Jon Dolding,
Clinical Director and Owner
Jon has been a qualified technician for over to 30 years and has owned and run his own laboratory since 1993. Jon contributes to the development of the dental technician industry by developing new products with industry partners, developing new surgical pathways with TIC and building a tight-knit, collaborative team of dental problem solvers.
Jon teamed up with The Implant Centre in 2012 and they have jointly developed one of the leading clinical and laboratory partnerships in the UK.

The success of the partnership is based on
