History of Race Dental

Race Dental Laboratory has grown from modest beginnings - John Leonard Race founded Race Dental Laboratory based in Macquarie Street, Sydney, in 1936. After the Second World War, the laboratory was moved to Wentworthville and in 1954 due to an expanding customer base it was once again relocated to a larger premises on Charles Street in Parramatta. The laboratory quickly established a reputation for reliability, outstanding quality & attention to detail.

In 1957, John travelled to Germany to learn the coveted skills and techniques of the Master Dental Technician. This training included the process of creating porcelain fused to gold crowns, which were becoming popular in Australia.

 

John’s sons, David and Paul, completed high school and went on to study dental technology to assist their father in building the family business. By 1987, the outstanding success of the family business had grown to such a large level that a new a fully equipped, state-of-the-art dental laboratory was set up in North Parramatta. Paul retired in the early 90's to focus on spending time with his family and David and his wife Margaret continued to successfully expand the business with their three sons Anthony, Brad and Matt.

In April 2005 the laboratory had again outgrown its facilities and relocated to Macquarie Park in North Ryde, an ultra modern facility covering 1000m2.
