Dental Laboratory Business Bites Back Recession Odds; San Diego Start-Up Successful in First Year

San Diego, CA, January 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Unexpectedly laid off a year ago, Joe Dennison and Jon Rogers appeared to be another casualty of the recession. However, despite difficult conditions for a start-up Dennison and Rogers co-founded Classic Dental Studio, a San-Diego-based dental laboratory. In just one year, the company has become a model of small-business success.

Classic Dental Studio provides dentists with fixed dental products for cosmetic dental restorations, full mouth reconstruction and dental implants. With the collaborative effort of Rogers and Dennison, the company has achieved approximately $500,000 in sales in its first year, maintained high quality throughout a growth period and moved into a new lab. In addition, Classic Dental Studio hired six new employees over six months.

According to the founders, maximizing their combined 38 years custom dental manufacturing and sales and marketing experience has attributed to their ability to be cash positive in the first year.

“Building our company with a strong business foundation and solid technical ability allowed us to see immediate results and grow significantly in our first year,” said Dennison. “That coupled with our formula for success, focusing on our customers’ needs and maintaining quality, is working for us.”

While other small businesses continue to shed employees and close doors, Classic Dental Studio aims to increase its customer base throughout San Diego County and build upon its current success.

“We expect more controlled growth and the addition of key team members in 2010,” said Dennison.
