Our Story

Since 1992, Wiand Dental Lab has evolved into an industry leader in removable and implant supported prosthetics. With 30 years of experience in this specialty, the expertise we have developed is second to none. And it all began in the little town of New Castle, PA.

Tom Wiand, owner and founder, was born and raised under the watchful eye of his father who was a general dentist practicing out of a little office attached to their home. He always bragged about walking to the office. Tom’s dad was known for dentures often being referred to as “the denture guy” because this was where he shined doing all his own lab work. We just called him “Doc.” It was here that Tom discovered his passion as be began to dabble in the lab work with his dad.

Tom mistakenly believed that all dentists did their own lab based on his experience with is own father. Once he found out he could make it his career, he attended dental technology school at the McCarrie School of Health Sciences. Unlike the rest his classmates, Tom made removables his focus because he found it to be more interesting and challenging.

After a short stint internship at Dealy Dental Lab, Tom followed his sister Rosey to Arizona, what he considered paradise. He then started at a lab called Tooth Works where he met many of the technicians we still know and work with today. After a year or so, he got a tip from a friend that a removable technician was retiring and another lab was closing (John Warren and Allen Dental Lab). With lab work in hand, Tom went out and sold himself to a handful of accounts from those leads to start what eventually became Wiand Dental Lab. Those first doctors invested in Tom holding him accountable to get the basics right each and every case. Something we still practice today.

Tom’s goal was to create a lab that would produce high quality, natural looking dentures that fit and functioned well. He was one of the first labs to be certified in the Ivoclar BPS system, lab processes we still use today, His goal then and still now is to create the best denture possible for the patients we serve in tandem with our dentist clients.

Tom continues to lead our team with integrity and is involved in every aspect of the lab. Located in south Scottsdale, our family owned and operated removable lab specializes in implant and attachment dentistry. We are currently training our son Pierce who is also attending business school, but consider all our staff as part of our family. Most recently, we have added digital dentures as well as milled crowns to our product offerings. We are excited about the future of dental technology and hope you will join us along for the ride!
