Our History
For over 40 Years, we have been serving local dentists in the St. Louis Metro Area and southern Illinois communities. Tom Donnell, CDT, FNBC, started Donnell Dental Laboratory in 1970 as a small one-person laboratory serving a few clients. Through maintaining consistency, service, and technological advances, the laboratory grew to a full-service facility serving clients nationwide.
After graduating in 1982 with a degree in Dental Technology, Bart Donnell, CDT went on to become certified in two specialties and worked alongside his father for 17 years. Subsequently, Bart purchased the laboratory in 2003, continuing the tradition of quality and exceptional customer service.
