In 1976 Dan Young, CDT decided to leave the practice he was working for and started his lab, Young Dental Lab, next door to Amlin Dental. 

​

As the practice grew and Dan's work became more in-demand, he hired Toni Smith, CDT. Being next door to Dr. David Amlin, they dialed into what doctors want and need from their dental lab. Young Dental Lab started as a two technician team to a sought out high-end boutique lab with 7 employees.

​

In 2009, Dan decided to expand his growing business even more with the idea of purchasing Doling & Associates Dental Lab. At the time, Doling & Associates Dental Lab was the largest lab in the Dayton area. They specialized in fixed restorations and complex implant cases.

​

Before the purchase, Dan asked Toni to become his partner on this new adventure. They collectively bought Doling & Associates Dental Lab and employed all the technicians from each lab. The merge of the two labs resulted in a new lab, 

Dental Associates Lab.
