About Us

  • Dentistry and dental laboratory technology have changed significantly since Flud Laboratory was opened in 1955. In those first few years we were mostly an “acrylic” lab repairing and relining dentures, or setting teeth for a new set of “plates.” These days Flud fabricates everything from titanium dental implant abutments to zirconia bridges, while maintaining our reputation as a leading removable prosthetics laboratory.

    Our modern facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma currently employs about 25 highly qualified technicians and support staff, all dedicated to providing dentists and patients with the highest quality dental restorations available. We use only FDA approved and American Dental Association “accepted” materials. And all our restorations are made in the U.S.A..

    We are currently accepting new clients so give us a call today. Or better yet, if you are in the Tulsa area stop by and meet our team in person.
