Richard Grant is Vice President of Operations for Shaunn’s Dental Laboratory. He was born in San Bernadino, California, but has lived in North Carolina most of his life, making him a “nearly native” North Carolinian. He earned an AAS degree in Dental Technology from Durham Technical Institute graduating in 1976. He became a Certified Dental Technician in 1979. Moving to the Charlotte area in 1984, he worked as an in-house technician for Dr. Donald Culp, studying the “Panky Philosophy” under Dr. Culp at the Panky Institute in Florida. In 1988 he joined forces with Ronnie Oaten to develop a more diverse laboratory with focus on quality, esthetics and service. His position has evolved into emphasis on implant and challenging case design and fabrication, as well as general day-to-day operations. He and his wife Sara have a passion for out-of-doors activities with their four children.
