We've been in business 29 years!!!!

A lot has changed over these 29 years like the location and the process in which our products have been made. But for 29 years 1 constant has remained the same, our president and founder Darius Hall. Darius’s work ethic, eye for detail and love for the dental industry has been the catalyst for the past 29 years.

 Darius started in the dental technology field in 1973 by attending the dental technology program in Maryland. After school he moved to Biloxi to work for a Prosthodontist. In 1975 Darius came to Louisiana and worked for a lab called Codesco. In 1977 he was asked to start a crown and bridge department in another lab where he did and worked for 9 years. Then in June of 1986 he left that lab, and in August of 1986 he started Bayou State.

 Bayou State started out in a 500sq ft warehouse off of Daryl Dr. in Baton Rouge. It didn’t last long there. In 1989 Darius’s lab grew enough to move into a 1500sq ft building off of Wooddale blvd in Baton Rouge. Bayou State strived at that location for 15 years but eventually out grew it as well. In March of 2004 Bayou State moved in to its current location in a custom built 5000sq plus facility on Havenpark ct in Baton Rouge. It has been at this location the lab has truly grown both internally and externally. The lab is almost fully digital utilizing wet and dry mills, 3d printers and some of the best CAD software on the market. Bayou State is also the only CDL AND DAMAS Certified lab in the state.

 Though our processes and locations have changed over the last 29 years our attention to detail and desire to produce the best quality work has not. All of that can be contributed to our amazing President and Founder Darius Hall, CDT.

THANK YOU DARIUS!!!
