Our Story

C & H Dental Laboratory was founded in 2022. The lab has since grown from a startup venture into a purpose-built facility, moving to new premises on Risca Road, Newport in late 2025. Today the lab serves dental practices across Wales and the UK, combining the quality of a dedicated operation with the accessibility and service of an independent laboratory.
