About Us
Stones Bank Dental Laboratory offers many different dental services, from planning through to customised dentures. We create bespoke dental appliances, focusing on private prosthetics and implant cases. One of the main differences in sending work to our lab is time. We have time to take extra care on the finer details of each case enabling us to get the best possible result for the patient and clinician.
Claire O’Brien is a GDC registered dental technician with a wealth of experience gained from working at a range of prestigious dental laboratories in Yorkshire and Harley Street, London.
Claire has a special interest in prosthetics and implant work and takes great pride in creating beautiful and functional dental appliances whilst paying great attention to detail and quality.
Stones Bank Dental Laboratory uses some of the best materials on the market to produce the highest standard of work possible to ultimately benefit the clinician and the patient.
Claire regularly attends study clubs (previously a member of Harley Technicians Study Club and a member of the British Institute of Dental and Surgical Technologists) and lectures enabling her to keep up to date with new materials and procedures.
Claire is a qualfied BPS technician and more recently attended the Dr Abe suction denture course enabeling her to create the most retentive lower dentures without the need for implants.
Stones Bank Dental Laboratory is registered with the Dental Lab Association, DAMAS (Dental Appliance Manufacturers Audit Scheme) and we are part of the British Bite Mark Scheme.
Claire spends most of her spare time running around after her 2 young boys! When she gets the chance she enjoys the gym and Olympic lifting, running and walking, reading and improving her photography skills.
