About the Laboratory

A dedicated craftsman, since 1990.

Owned and run by Peter Kapp — owner and digital technician — Burchell is a fully digital laboratory serving dental practices across South Africa.

From the Owner

Technician-to-doctor

"My name is Peter Kapp, and I am the owner and digital technician at Burchell Dental Laboratory. As owner and head technician since 1990, I have over 35 years of industry experience, and embraced a fully digital workflow more than a decade ago."

In the current economic climate, practice efficiency and predictable outcomes matter more than ever. Every minute spent on an adjustment, every delayed case and every remake costs valuable chair time — and this lab is built from the ground up to protect that time.

Burchell is not a high-volume, impersonal factory. It is a dedicated craftsman focused on getting your case right, personally, from planning to completion.
