Lompoc, CA - DenMat^® announced an important new addition to its team, master ceramist Brad Jones. In addition to his 36 years of experience creating world-class restorations for some of the world’s top esthetic clinicians, Jones is one of the few ceramists in the world who has achieved a fellowship in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). 

“We are excited to bring Brad’s expertise to the DenMat Lab,” says Robert Cartagena, Chief Operating Officer. “His ability to create beautiful, natural looking smiles with the latest minimally-invasive techniques will bring a new level of value to our customers and their patients.” 

DenMat will be introducing a number of new laboratory products and services to the dental community throughout 2016. The first of these is A.R.T., DenMat’s new Additive-Reductive Template process for Lumineers^®, the No. 1 patient-requested veneer in the world.

“We are continuously looking for ways to make complex minimally invasive veneer cases simpler for our customers, and we believe that A.R.T. is an important step in this process,” Cartagena says. “This new process facilitates communication between patient, dentist, and laboratory, and ensures that what is fabricated is exactly what is desired. Ultimately, it will dramatically increase patient satisfaction and decrease remakes.” 

Jones is joining the DenMat team as Director of Esthetics and will be operating out of the company’s headquarters in Lompoc, California. As of January 2016, the company is launching updated educational programs to introduce Lumineers dentists and new customers to the A.R.T. offering.
