Styledent was founded in Laval, Quebec in 1993 by Stylianos Tsichlis. He had just arrived with his family from Athens, Greece when he was 53 years old and opened up his own lab, in the middle of recession, so he could feed his wife and his three children. He was a lecturer and a certified master dental lab technician, having worked in the field for more than 35 years and owned dental laboratories in Sudan, South Africa and Greece. He was an artist, a passionate one, and a man of very high standards of perfection.

In 2007, his son Dimitri joined him after completing his dental technician certification in Longueuil, Québec. With a young mind set and a lot of ambition, he had a vision of what Styledent was about to become: a dental lab that could provide the most high quality hand crafted work, fabricated with the aid of the latest technologies and materials. Dimitri and his father shared a passion for sharing knowledge; Dimitri started giving lectures in universities and study groups to dentists on new dental materials from a very young age.

In 2009, Dimitri’s wife Lidia also joined the family business. With a background in communications, marketing and customer service, she shared Dimitri’s vision and helped to maintain and develop relationships with dental professionals, creating tools to help dentists and prosthodontists thrive in their practice.

Throughout the years, Styledent has always been on the forefront of technology, investing in the latest equipment and always being current with new studies and new materials. We are now proud to be recognized by our peers as the “high tech lab”. In 2014, we even opened up our sister company, CAMdent Milling Center, to serve other dental laboratories in Canada, offering dental milling services.

Today, what we are most proud of is our team. Each and every one of our team members works everyday with the passion and the perfection that our founder M. Tsichlis taught us. We continue to follow his path, giving our best in perfecting our art and technique, now with the help of technology. We will always go forward remembering his teachings, principles and values.

In Memory of our founder Stylianos Tsichlis, 1939-2013
