“I switched to Authentic in 2008 and never looked back. Authentic has consistent quality, customer service and their one-on- one technical assistance. Their staff is very professional and a delight to work with. You don’t get that kind of service at most labs today. Through their educational courses, I know that they are providing the best products, the latest in digital technology, and implants. Authentic has the expertise I need to get the quality that I require for my patients.”

We also use them for removable work as well as miscellaneous items such as retainers and night guards.”
