About Us

Small-Town Values, World-Class Quality

For over 45 years, Trout Dental Laboratory has crafted restorations with precision, care, and a commitment to excellence that treats every case like family.

Our Story — Built on a Foundation of Family Values

Trout Dental Laboratory began in 1979 in Brazil, Indiana with a simple but powerful philosophy: treat every case as if it were for a member of your own family. That standard has guided everything we do for more than four decades.

From those rural roots, we've grown into a full-service, domestic lab that pairs modern digital workflows with the time-tested artistry of skilled technicians. We're not a software company that happens to make teeth, and we're not an overseas price shop — we're a lab close enough to answer the phone, own the outcome, and fix a problem the same day. Craftsmanship matters, especially in complex prosthetics, and it's the personal accountability behind every restoration that continues to set us apart.
