About our Master Ceramist
Wayne Payne has owned and operated Payne Dental Lab, Inc. since 1977. Located in San Clemente, California, this dental lab uses state-of-the-art technology and innovative products to provide first-rate restorations to dental practices across the country. With a focus on functional aesthetics Wayne Payne has revolutionized the way that dental professionals think about restorative and cosmetic dentistry products by providing practical and attractive ceramics.
Wayne has always had a passion for highly aesthetic dentistry and in 1988 he studied occlusion with Dr. Robert L. Lee at the Loma Linda University. With a commitment to continuing his education, Wayne then studied advanced ceramic techniques with Matt Roberts and Don Cornell. In 1998, Wayne became a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and is now a fully accredited member of the organization. Since the founding of Payne Dental Lab, Inc., he has also been involved with the research and development of some of the most advanced ceramic materials available.
With his continued education, precision, and artistry, Wayne is able to provide his clients with designs that range from the most simplistic to the most complex mouth restorations. His combination of designing the case with function for longevity and aesthetics for natural beauty truly sets him apart from other ceramists.
In addition to providing quality products to practices throughout the country, Payne is also interested in giving back to the community. He uses his skills as a ceramist to contribute to “Give Back a Smile” which provides free dental care to victims of abuse. He is also consistently involved in educating other dentists and ceramists, sharing his expertise with the dental community.
