Bay View is a full service lab, now serving dentists through three generations for almost 75 years. Owners Buddy and Rick Shafer are both Board Certified Technicians and work full time at the bench. They are joined by an experienced team of technicians and support staff with a shared passion for dental technology.
The lab has two main departments; general dentistry, led by Buddy, and comprehensive dentistry including diagnostic, implant, removable, and complex casework, with master technicians involved at each level. Rick Shafer specializes in cosmetic work. Our knowledge, philosophy and keys to success have been a solid foundation with the Pankey/Dawson concepts in occlusion and function.
We take a very simple and pragmatic approach to basic general restorative dentistry. Our Express general dentistry service offers a flat fee of $195/unit with guaranteed two week turnaround.
For complex cases, we subscribe to a simple philosophy of records + planning + communication = predictable success. Bay View has long been associated with CR and joint based occlusion, be it from Spear, the Pankey Institute, Kois, or The Dawson Academy.
Other benefits for Bay View customers include free staff training support, marketing support, treatment planning support, and many opportunities for education with us here in Virginia. Continuing education has always been a cornerstone of our success. Our new facility includes a full service education and learning resource center with courses for doctors, technicians, and staff almost every month of the year. We invite you to learn more about our family of professionals dedicated to serving dentistry.
Buddy has become a source of inspiration and advice to many dentists and technicians across the country. I personally have tremendous respect and admiration of Buddy who has been a valuable resource to me as well as a close personal friend and colleague. - Peter E. Dawson, DDS
