Luis Ortega, Lab Tech

Luis, Laboratory Technician, has been happily working with Seminole Dental for almost 5 years although he’s been practicing his profession for over 35 years. He was born and educated in Ecuador and currently resides in Tampa. Luis has a knack for creating beautiful dentures that are aesthetically pleasing, well-fitting and functional.

In addition to hand-setting the teeth in all of our dentures, Luis also fabricates partials, retainers, night guards, and neuromuscular orthotics. Using our state of the art, in-house dental lab, Luis can perform denture repairs and relines the same day! This is a wonderful service for our patients as they do not have to be without their dentures for more then a couple of hours.

Luis says, "I love my job! I like the people I work with and all the patients." Luis enjoys the creative outlet he experiences through fabricating dentures. When he is not working, Luis enjoys playing soccer and spending time with his large family. Luis is fluent in Spanish and is a member of the social sports club.
