Polaris Dental Lab Announces Leadership Transition, Same Team and Facility

Polaris Dental Lab, a full-service dental laboratory that has served Greater Sacramento clinicians for more than 32 years, has been acquired by Polaris Dental Technologies, Inc. Under the leadership of President Jonathan Wu, the laboratory retains its entire core technical team, its name, and its El Camino Avenue facility. The sale closed in July 2026. Terms were not disclosed. For referring dentists, day-to-day operations are unchanged: the same technicians, the same submission process, and complimentary pickup and delivery all remain in place. The acquisition pairs the laboratory's heritage of precision craftsmanship with an improved focus on quality control. Wu, whose background is in enterprise software and process engineering, is applying that discipline directly to laboratory operations, sharpening marginal fit accuracy, refining contact precision, and reducing chairside adjustments so restorations fit right the first time. Polaris Dental Lab continues to fabricate a complete portfolio of fixed and removable prosthetics in-house, supporting both traditional physical impressions and modern digital intraoral workflows.
