About Us
Protech stands for Professional Technician.
Our technicians are professionals who meet the demands of highly-trained clinicians.
Duckee Lee, CDT, launched Protech Dental Studio in 1997, shortly after graduating from J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College. What started as a one-man dental laboratory of about 800 square feet in Virginia has since grown to a 15-employee dental studio of 3,200 square feet that is unequalled in quality and timely restorations on the East Coast. Dentists from across the nation have discovered Protech, a state-of-the-art dental laboratory with a reputation for using high-quality materials and products to create unparalleled aesthetic restorations.
Protech's steady and consistent growth is a reflection of Duckee Lee's continual search for more knowledge and his drive for keeping pace with emerging technologies. Almost immediately after graduating from dental tech school, he has continued his education non-stop with the leading clinicians and ceramists of his field, including Willi Geller, founder of Oral Design, and Jason Kim, a member of Oral Design.
That philosophy extends to Protech's other 13 technicians who are regularly trained through our in-house training program and sent to other courses to meet high-quality standards. All of our ceramists are customer-service oriented with a mission to make the doctor's vision a reality.
