For over 60 years, Suburban Dental Laboratory has served the dental industry with commitment, professionalism and passion. Over the years, our primary objective has remained the same:

“To consistently provide professional quality dental products with the highest level of customer-oriented service.“

Our Founding

Our founding owner, Edward Canter, CDT, discovered his passion for the dental industry early-on while working for a dental laboratory in Hartford, Connecticut during high school. Upon graduating, he enlisted in the United States Navy and completed his formalized training in dental assistance and dental technology later becoming a Certified Dental Technician.

After serving his country, Edward worked for a local dental laboratory, opening his first lab in a dentist’s office in Torrington, Connecticut shortly after. His business thrived for many years until the historical flood of 1955 that impacted several towns in Connecticut, including Torrington.

In 1956 Ed opened his operation in the “suburbs” of Hartford, CT and named the business Suburban Dental Laboratory, Inc.

Three Generations of Experience and Excellence

Edward’s youngest son Steven joined the business in 1976 as a summer employee. Steven’s passion for the dental field led him to pursue formal training at Eli Whitney Technical School, becoming a Certified Dental Technician, just like his father.

Steven has continued to manage the business with his father’s strong ethics for hard work, quality work products, and excellent customer service.

Suburban Dental Laboratory, Inc. has entered its third generation with Steve’s son, Adam, who joined the business in July 2006.  Like Steve, Adam attended Eli Whitney Technical School, and has been an asset in our crown and bridge and implants departments. Adam’s role continues to evolve, as he begins to guide surgeries and assume management responsibilities for day-to-day operations.

Technology That Will Make You Smile

In 2004 Suburban Dental Laboratory moved to a brand new state of the art facility located at 4 Barnard Lane, Bloomfield, CT.

As the dental industry continues to evolve, Suburban Dental Laboratory has consistently distinguished itself by leveraging cutting-edge technology and advanced techniques to create the perfect products with the perfect fit.
