Owner's Personal Statement
Welcome! We are more than blessed to have the team of technicians that we do. Each technician is extremely gifted,well trained,very dedicated and absolutely passionate about dentistry. I recently had a lab owner,who has been known in our community as a leading cosmetic technician for years spend some time in our laboratory. After observing our techs. and our restorations for a short time, her comment was,"Centric is definitely dentistrys best kept secret". We have been in business for over 20 years and this is the first time we have done any marketing at all.We are obviously not able to service every Dr. but I believe every Dr. who is striving for excellence should at least know who we are and check us out to see if we would be a good match for them and their practice.Check out references on our website. www.smilesbycentric.com Please call with any questions. Thank You! -- Dan(616)363-1550
