GEAUX TIGERS GIVE AWAY!!!!!

Here at Bayou State we're always trying to find great ways to say thank you to our wonderful clients.

So we have decided to give away an all inclusive trip to go watch LSU vs Alabama in Birmingham this year! Click on the pictures for details on how to win this wonderful give away. And again thank you to all our wonderful clients for choosing Bayou State. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

 

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!!!

Don't get left in the digital dust!

You as dentists should start looking to towards the future. There will be a point that you the clinicians will have to jump aboard the digital train or you may be left in the digital dust. We know here at Bayou State, we had to jump aboard that digital train and its made our lab more productive and consistent. Chairside digital impression systems are the next step for clinicians in dentistry. By partnering with a digitally enabled laboratory you can maximize your workflow and cut back time and cost of treatment. Here at Bayou State we are a Trios Ready Certified lab and are able to accept all intraoral stl scan files from most all systems. We will continue to put digital systems in place to better help you take that next step in maximizing your practice. If you have any questions about any digital impression systems feel free to give our General Manager Tristan a call.
