In 1960, David R. Turpin, Jr. established Spartan Dental Laboratory, originally located on Michigan Ave. in Lansing, Michigan. Spartan Dental Laboratory was established upon the idea that quality not only pertains to the end product but also on the dependability of the service provided. David R. Turpin, Jr. understood that only through effective communication with his dental accounts could his dental lab obtain the high quality standards that his accounts expect and their patients deserve. Although the location of the dental lab has changed, the quality service and dependability has continued throughout the years. Today, David R. Turpin III (Dave) continues his fathers legacy of providing quality products and services through effective communication with his dental accounts. With 46 years of experience, national certification in crown and bridge production and a commitment to quality, Dave has successfully built a business with customer satisfaction as his #1 goal. Dave is preparing his son, David H. Turpin (David) to succeed him in the business. David has 24 years of experience in the dental technology field and is nationally certified in crown and bridge production. Dave's grandson, David, is now a 4th generation and is working in the business learning ceramics and CadCam systems.
