Sowle Ceramics is a small, quality derived crown and bridge laboratory, located in the small harbor town of Dana Point, California . We opened our dental laboratory in 1998, with the intention of implementing the highest level of dental technology. We wanted to use dental technology for artistry, creating lifelike restorations, while working closely with our client doctors and their staff. Over the last nine years, our vision has come to fruition as we have built a reputation for consistently offering fantastic results.
In 2003, Sowle Ceramics relocated to a new, state-of-the-art dental studio, custom built from the ground up. We wanted more space and an open atmosphere that offered all the elements necessary for creating high-quality dental ceramics. Leading lab designers and contractors came together to build a dental studio that reflects the amazing work we create each day.
Our new ceramics lab features sufficient natural light and is equipped with full-spectrum lighting at all workstations throughout the studio. In addition, the workstations are ergonomically designed so that our talented technicians can focus solely on their work.
We value innovation in dental solutions and digital dentistry. Over the years we have adapted our expertise to accomodate the changes in dental labs and dentistry. Our approach towards digital dentistry allows us to provide you and your patients with high quality restorations faster and with more accurate results.
Gary Sowle was born and raised in a Southern California beach town, where he spent most of his youth as a grommet (surf kid). He decided to take advantage of his artistic ability and enrolled in Huntington College of Dental Technology, where he graduated at the top of his class in 1985. Gary became a CDT in 1996. Over the last 22 years, he has refined his skills and knowledge through continuing education, lectures, and hands-on courses. Gary truly enjoys the artistic part of his profession, and he takes pride in every level of business ownership. His attention to detail and leadership skills are the key elements that helped build the great reputation that Sowle Ceramics has today.
When not making teeth, Gary spends most of his free time enjoying local surf spots, like Trestles and Salt Creek. Cars are his second passion, but the most important thing in his life is his family. (P.S. When the surf is up, additional time on cases may be required. Just kidding,)
