About Our Dental Lab
The name Baluke has represented quality dental fabrication since 1949. Mr. Walter Baluke Sr., co-founder of Shaw Laboratory, set a standard in progressive laboratory service that was revolutionary in its day. Duane and his brother Walter (Skip) followed in their father’s footsteps, first by working after school and on weekends, then as summer student trainees and finally as full-time apprentice technicians studying all phases of the dental laboratory business in Canada. After their father’s retirement from the business, they set up their own dental laboratory in Ontario under the name of Baltor Dental Laboratory. Eventually this evolved into Baluke Dental Studios, now one of the leading full-service dental labs in Canada.

At Baluke we understand the important role that communication plays in beautiful smiles. Market studies and our own observations in the industry prove that the majority of remakes in the laboratory are caused by poor or insufficient communication.
Dentists communicate the requirements of their cases to us. Not every dentist is adept in the terminology or approach to the laboratory process, nor should they be. We understand this and work closely with our dental office clients to ensure that we understand the context of each case and have all of the information needed to progress to fabrication and other lab services. It’s our clear and targeted communication that results in the best outcomes for both practices and patients.
Our PARTNERS IN PRECISION (PIP) approach is something that all of our technicians and support staff adhere to. This program ensures that accurate and complete information is transferred between dental offices and our laboratory. A structured approach and attention to detail minimize costs and the time needed to develop solutions.
Premium case management ensures that every dental office has the necessary support to provide patients with the best service, regardless of the level of experience in the laboratory process. Baluke guides dental professionals to ensure that even the most complex cases are handled efficiently and with complete accuracy.
From reduction in chair time to superior outcomes and more beautiful smiles, Baluke can help dental offices to succeed with accurate restorations and patients that are absolutely delighted. Minimize remakes and adjustments with Baluke Dental Studios, Ontario’s leading full service dental lab.

I’ve been working with Baluke for nearly 5 years and am pleased with their quality. But the one thing that stands out to me is their service. When a problem arises they are quick to ensure it is solved and attempt to prevent it from occurring again. This makes a difference in my practice and working with them has been a great experience.

Dr. Jack Cottrell
I want to take this opportunity to thank Duane and his team for their professionalism and great advice over the past 15 years. They are especially helpful with my removable, fixed/removable and cosmetic cases. Raj, Scott and Peter are very knowledgeable in what they do and provide invaluable advice to some of the complicated cases. Their quality of work is second to none and they strive to achieve complete satisfaction from both the patient and dentist.I have no reservation to refer anyone to Baluke Dental Studio for all Dental Lab needs.
Dr. Andrew Wong
Having the team at Baluke as my lab partner allows me to deliver all of my cases on time with beautiful esthetics and precision. I rely on their highly trained staff to discuss cases and get great advice when I need it. You’re in great hands with Baluke!
Dr. Waseema Ali
I have used Baluke Dental Lab for over 25 years. Over the course of this time we have co-created hundreds of beautiful smiles together!
I have found them to be very easy to work with, both on the day-to-day end and the clinical side.
On the clinical side, there is always someone who is pleased to discuss case specific, material and design options with me. Their added benefit of bringing their ovens to your office and custom staining porcelain restorations is truly priceless. It makes the difference between a beautiful restoration and one that is such a perfect match, it cannot be picked out as the “man-made” restoration.
Their prices are fair and they are always on the cutting edge of new materials and pleased to present varied options for specific situations. I highly recommend them to any dentist who takes pride in their work and is looking for personal, individualized attention and quality craftsmanship.
