About Us
Badger Laboratories, Inc. is a full service laboratory offering a wide range of restorative options to our doctors. Badger has been serving the dental community for the past 80 years, with a focus mainly on removable appliance. In 1993, under new ownership, our laboratory has made tremendous advancements in education, facility and technology to bring our doctors to the highest quality of Fixed and Implant options. Badger is now positioning itself among a small group of elite dental laboratories with its main focus on high quality Fixed and Implant options, while still offering removable appliances.
A laboratory is only as good as its technicians, office and drive staff. The technician’s at Badger are experienced and take pride in every restoration they do. Badger is not a high production laboratory thus the technicians have no quotas they need to meet, nor are they paid by piece. This allows them the time it takes to produce a high quality, esthetically pleasing restoration. The result; your chair time is minimal and your patients leave extremely happy telling everyone they know how wonderful their experience was at your office. Our office and drive staff works hard to get you your cases when you need them – emergencies and all. We are continually researching speakers for your continuing education on new techniques, products and procedures. Along with the added value services Badger gives to all of it’s clients at no additional cost, the quality is uncompromised and the service impeccable.
Mark Perelshtein, CDT, Owner, started as a technician in 1988. After realizing that college was not an option for him, he took an apprenticeship in a small lab learning the trade. Mark learned from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with no wages, and then from 3:00 p.m. to midnight he worked at a foundry. In 1989, Mark received his first position as a DENTAL TECHNICIAN making $6.00 per hour. He then worked at a few more labs doing dentures, partials and eventually crown and bride. In 1993 Mark opened Dental Images, Inc., a small 2 technician lab. In 1994, Mark purchased Badger Lab, a 25 technician lab.
