Where It Began

A small team.
A big commitment.

Interstate Dental Lab was founded in New York City in 1988 by a small, dedicated team of dental professionals with one goal: to bridge the gap between dentists and their patients by delivering restorations that were consistently excellent, on time, and built on trust.

From day one, we operated on the belief that a lab is not just a supplier — it is a partner. And partners show up. They pick up the phone, they own their mistakes, and they care about outcomes as much as the dentist sitting chairside does.

That ethos has not changed in over three decades. It has just scaled.

Our Mission

Changing what a
lab partner looks like.

Our mission is straightforward: give dental professionals a lab they never have to worry about. Consistent quality, honest communication, and a team that treats your patients outcomes as seriously as you do.

Quality Without Compromise
Every restoration passes through a single QC standard — no exceptions, no off weeks.
Speed You Can Plan Around
4.3-day average turnaround with FedEx Priority — so your schedule stays on track.
Real Relationships
We know your name, your cases, and your preferences. You are not a ticket number here.
Our Philosophy
Changing the definition of a dental lab partner.
We believe every dentist deserves a lab that delivers like clockwork, communicates like a colleague, and cares about outcomes the way a true partner does. That is what Interstate was built to be. That is what we will keep being.
