After many years at the heart of the laboratory, Chris Hood and Gareth Bray have taken ownership of Bosham Dental Lab. This isn’t a dramatic change of direction — it’s a natural continuation of the values the lab has always stood for: craftsmanship, patience, precision and a genuine respect for the people we work with.
For those who know Chris and Gareth, this step feels right. Their understanding of the craft runs deep, and their connection to the lab is personal. They’ve shaped its character for years; now, they’re shaping its future.
Chris brings a balance of traditional craft and digital innovation. Qualifying in 2004, he has a long-standing talent for complex restorations and has helped push the lab’s digital capabilities forward. Outside the lab, he’s a dedicated family man and a passionate cyclist — his focus and patience carry into every case he works on.
Also qualifying in 2004, Gareth has built a reputation as one of the country’s most skilled ceramists — not through noise or ego, but through quiet dedication. He’s the kind of maker who notices the small things: the way light moves through enamel, the softness of a shade transition, the subtlety that gives a smile its natural warmth.
For more than 40 years, Bosham has been shaped by a team of highly experienced dental technicians who care deeply about their work. Their skill spans both digital innovation and traditional analogue techniques — a combination that allows us to move with the industry while staying true to the craft.
Renowned for their attention to detail and consistent results, they bring clarity and confidence to even the most complex cases. It’s their hands, their experience and their quiet dedication that give Bosham its reputation for restorations that feel natural, reliable and beautifully made.
Chris and Gareth share a simple belief: dentistry works best when the craft behind it is done with care — not rushed, not forced, but made with intention.
As the lab continues to evolve, they aim to blend the spirit of traditional artistry with the precision of modern digital workflows. New tools, better processes and expanded capabilities — all introduced thoughtfully, and always in service of quality.
Bosham Dental Laboratory has grown over four decades through the trust of clinicians and the patients they support. This next chapter is about honouring that legacy while continuing to grow with purpose and integrity.
We’re grateful to be part of your work.
We’re committed to the details that matter.
And we look forward to shaping the future of the lab — with the same quiet dedication that has defined us from the beginning.
