2004: Assured Dental Lab became incorporated.
1995: ADL relocated to a new location at 728 N Prospect.
1988: Assured Dental Lab was growing still and so the Lab was relocated to 4233 E. State. Dan became completely self-employed and hired two employees.
1986: As ADL grew too large for Dr. Pfluger’s office Dan picked things up and moved it into the basement of his home.
1980: When Dan returned to Rockford he continued his work with Dan’s Lab and began working at T.N.T. Lab in Janesville, WI. While there Dan waxed models, finished metalwork, and did deliveries.
1978: Dan attended Southern Illinois University in pursuit of a degree in Dental Technology. There he learned all 5 dental technology specialties: orthodontics, dentures, partial dentures, full cast crowns, and ceramics. in his last semester he specialized in ceramics. While attending class and labs, Dan also kept “Dan’s Lab” alive via the US mail. Dr. Pfluger sent Dan cases which he completed in his free time and then sent back. While attending SIU Dan was on the Dean’s list and received best in class marks for his high restoration scores.
1976: Assured Dental Lab has its humble beginning. ADL was first known as “Dan’s Lab” when Dan Pfluger began making cases for Dr. Robert Pfluger. Dan was taught by Dr. Pfluger how to make gold crowns. He worked together with his uncle Ron Labunski who made porcelain crowns. Much of the expertise of ADL began here at Dan’s Lab, and because it began in a dental office ADL will work great with your office.
