Frank has been a Dental Laboratory Technician since 1981 and brings with him over 20 years of accumulated knowledge and experience in the industry. He has earned the distinction of Certified Dental Technician in three specialties; Porcelain, Crown and Bridge, and Removable Partial Dentures. His decision to start a laboratory where he could put his passion for delivering a precision quality product was the impetus behind the start of Advantage Ceramics in 1992. After graduating Cum Laude from Southern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management, he set to work to strive for the kind of service and product delivery that his clients had become accustomed to receiving from him. Frank is tenacious when it comes to getting the details right. He has helped Advantage Ceramics set a standard of customer satisfaction that other laboratories envy.

The Cole Bin. | | Our HistoryAdvantage Ceramics, Inc. was initially established on July 4, 1992 as a two man fixed prosthetic laboratory. The lab became a corporation six months after start-up. In 1996, Advantage Ceramics expanded to become a full service laboratory, bringing a proficient removable technician to the team. Thus technician Steven E. Cole brought his laboratory, Definitely Dentures, into the Advantage Ceramics family. Today, the team performs a wide range of lab work for dentists throughout Central Indiana, the surrounding regions and for some national dentists across the United States. |
