Established in 1986, Matrix Dental Laboratory is committed solely to the specialty area of removable prosthetics. Whether itÌs a conventional case, attachment retained, implant borne, over-denture, or combination case involving multiple disciplines,
we have the experience.

In an era of specialization, Matrix has stepped forward to elevate the meaning of esthetics and function in the area of removable prosthetics.

Natural coloring and contours of the denture base, tooth shape modification, along with the highest quality in procedures and materials allow us to follow the course in changing the perception of denture fabrication and placement.

About us
Our vision: show the Matrix difference


My vision for this laboratory was to create a business which could cater to dentists and patients who understand and seek the difference between making a denture and delivering a removable prosthetic.

The basic difference is in the understanding that removable prosthetic fabrication is the comprehensive clinical treatment of the patient and the detailed laboratory construction that goes with it.

Clinical participation and communication is of paramount importance if we as a team are to deliver a prosthesis that fulfills the promise of those seeking more than something to fill an empty space with teeth.

Our goal: your confidence and satisfaction
My philosophy has always been based on what is called Ïsubliminal acceptanceÓ. This is the belief that if we make the prosthesis as natural as possible, the confidence in the knowing it looks like more than a piece of plastic compels the patient to forget that anyone will know they are wearing something fabricated. Comments from patients and their family members in regard to never smiling so much or so large in years are just a few of the verbal confirmations that there is validity in this philosophy.

About the owner and technician
Tom Zaleske has an A.S. in dental laboratory technology. He has been a technician for 21 years. He began his career as an in-house technician while completing his second year in school. Because his specialty was removable prosthetics he was allowed to meet removable patients chair-side and track their progress from start to finish. This afforded valuable insight into what constitutes successful removable treatment. This position lasted for a 9 year tenure during which time accounts were developed outside of this practice. The natural progression was to move on and develop a separate entity.

Technical identity has been fortified over the years with the study and application of techniques and philosophies developed by Pound, Dentogenic concepts as developed by Drs. Fisher and Frush, Dr. Allen Brewer, Jurg Stuck, and Dr. Jack Turbyfill.
