Your new smile! Dental laboratory Fehmer and Fernandes celebrates 20 years of success
The Fehmer and Fernandes dental laboratory looks back on a successful 20-year history at Herzog-Ulrich-Straße 14 in Hardt. Last Saturday, the company celebrated this anniversary with an open day. Visitors can take a look behind the scenes and get to know the innovative technology in the laboratory.
The dental laboratory was founded in 1976 and moved from Stuttgart to Hardt in 2005 after the former Sternenlokal restaurant closed in 2004. Company founder Heinz-Jürgen Fehmer, who is married to Annegret Bub-Fehmer and is responsible for the accounting and organization of the laboratory, has shaped the company from the beginning. In 2016, the laboratory merged with that of Emanuel Fernandes, who has served as managing director ever since.
Innovation and craftsmanship combined
The dental laboratory is characterized by the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern digital technologies. The use of 3D printing technologies is increasingly being used in the field of dentistry. Providers such as Dental-3D Agency are leading the way, offering consulting services and training for dental laboratories to keep them up to date with the latest digital 3D printing technology. The lab uses advanced Formlabs and Ultimaker printers to create dental models and sterilizable surgical guides to meet demanding customer requests, which can include special designs such as diamonds on dentures.
On the open day, interested visitors had the opportunity to view the laboratory's specially equipped milling center. The modern equipment and innovative processes contribute to the fulfillment of individual customer requirements that go far beyond the standard solutions. The laboratory even designed special vampire teeth for the musical “Dance of the Vampires”.
Future prospects for young talents
The team currently consists of eight employees, including a master dental technician, five dental technicians and two trainees. An additional training position will be offered for 2026 in order to integrate fresh talent into the company. Maike Thieme, who joined as a partner in 2017 after successfully completing her master's examination, is a prime example of the career path that the laboratory offers young specialists.
The dental laboratory not only specializes in medical dental care, but also offers exceptional products for special occasions, such as Halloween or cosplay. Thanks to the variety of options, the team always manages to keep up with the times and meet the growing demands of artists and end users.
Overall, the development of the Fehmer and Fernandes dental laboratory reflects the dynamic evolution of dentistry, which is characterized by technological innovations and craftsmanship. The company shows that committed employees and the use of new technologies are crucial for the future of the industry.
