Jon-cdl

 

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 lab has grown 60% in the last 3 years and they have between them won multiple awards including Best Practice and Best Referral Practice – a testimony to the success of a close lab and surgical partnership.

The success of the partnership is based on

  • Close working relationships between lab and dentist
  • Jointly designed pathways
  • Investment in digital
  • Trusted professional collaboration
  • Commitment to quality and innovation
