I started my career in dentistry as a dental technician and lab owner, after which in 2005 I turned my focus to dental products manufacturing.  During those early years, I heard a lot of dentists talk about how early childhood caries was a getting to be a very serious problem, and how treating this disease with stainless steel crowns or composite restorations was extremely unsatisfying and frustrating for them, their patients, and their parents. In our dental laboratory, we decided that there had to be a better way, and I was determined to find it.  So in 1991, we developed NuSmile Pediatric Crowns, our first esthetic pediatric crown--in other words, the first pediatric crowns that looked and functioned like actual primary teeth.

Today, 25 years later, we're the world's largest manufacturer of esthetic pediatric crowns, with over 4 million restorations to our name.  Our team is passionately dedicated to supporting the field of pediatric dentistry, and we're honored to be able to provide our valued customers with the best products and service possible.  We're able to do that in large part because of the family oriented culture we have at NuSmile, whether the team members are actual family members--such as my son Jason Johnson, our Chief Operating Officer, or my brother, Mark Binford, our Senior Vice President of New Product Development--or our many other dedicated and talented employees.
