Dean Hanson

Senior Dental Technician & Co-founder

Over the past 35 years, I've had the privilege of working across private practice, public health, and university dental laboratories, giving me a unique perspective on both the technical and clinical sides of modern dentistry.

Throughout my career, I've developed a passion for combining exceptional craftsmanship with the latest digital technologies to produce restorations that are functional, aesthetic, and predictable. I believe every case deserves the same attention to detail, whether it's a single crown, a cosmetic smile makeover, or a full-arch implant rehabilitation.

Before co-founding Prime Lab Dental Studios, I managed the clinical laboratory at The University of Western Australia Dental School, where I worked closely with clinicians, specialists, and dental students to support patient care while mentoring the next generation of dentists. That experience reinforced my belief that the best clinical outcomes are achieved through genuine collaboration between the dentist and the laboratory.

Prime Lab Dental Studios was founded with a simple philosophy: quality over quantity. Rather than becoming a high-volume production lab, I wanted to build a boutique laboratory where every case receives the time, care, and technical attention it deserves. I enjoy working closely with our clinicians from treatment planning through to completion, helping simplify complex cases and delivering restorations that both dentists and patients can have confidence in.

For me, dentistry has always been about more than making restorations. It's about building trusted relationships, solving problems, embracing innovation, and helping clinicians deliver the very best outcomes for their patients. That's the standard I bring to every case that comes through our laboratory.

Client Services & Laboratory Operations

With more than 15 years of experience working across dental laboratories and dental clinics, I understand what clinicians expect from a modern laboratory: quality, reliability, and exceptional service.

At Prime Lab Dental Studios, I oversee the day-to-day operations of the laboratory, ensuring every case is managed efficiently from the moment it arrives through to delivery. My focus is on creating a seamless experience for our clients by coordinating workflows, maintaining clear communication, and ensuring every case progresses smoothly and on schedule.

Having worked closely within both dental laboratories and clinical environments, I understand the importance of accuracy, organisation, and meeting clinical deadlines. That experience allows me to appreciate the needs of both our clinicians and our technical team, helping to ensure every case is handled with care and professionalism.

I believe that outstanding customer service is just as important as outstanding technical work. Building strong relationships, being responsive, and providing dependable support are values that underpin everything we do at Prime Lab Dental Studios. My goal is to make working with our laboratory simple, efficient, and enjoyable, so our clinicians can focus on delivering the best possible care for their patients.
