"I have known Mr. Hartley since I moved to Iowa City [2014]. I have seen the excellence he brings to our students and our patients through his outstanding dental laboratory services. His psychomotor skill and attention to detail are clearly outstanding. His obvious talent in removable prosthodontics has made his laboratory the 'go to' for difficult patient cases for decades."
Dr. Julie A. Holloway, DDS, MS

Professor Emeritus, Department of Prosthodontics

University of Iowa College of Dentistry
The Dental Lab is a very high quality lab and we use it for most of our removable prostheses. If there is ever a question about a work authorization or the directions, they always call to confirm. They are also very good about handling special cases for particularly difficult cases who have high esthetic demands or functional abnormalities."
Dr. James Clancy, DDS, MS

Professor Emeritus, Department of Prosthodontics, University of Iowa College of Dentistry,
"I have used the services of The Dental Lab, Inc. for over 20 years.
