Growth and mastery of his dental craft is a continuous process for Chris Jones, Lab Manager at Reliance Dental Designs. Here, Chris started as a model technician and grew into his current role of lab manager and ceramist. 

A California native, Chris began his career in 1999 working at a friend’s father’s Northern California denture lab.  In 2002, he began working as a model technician for Microdental Laboratories in Livermore, California. 

Chris is recognized as one of the leading model technicians in the country and has trained extensively in his field.  Because of his unique and advanced skill set, many independent and boutique laboratories seek him out to train their technicians. 

In his leadership role, Chris takes immense satisfaction in teaching and training others.  For him, every unit the team produces is an opportunity to improve and perfect a “showcase” quality restoration.

Chris attributes his success and drive to remain in the dental industry to seeing firsthand someone smile confidently who previously could not. Knowing that he contributed to making someone’s life better is the ultimate reward.
