Swedenburg CDT,
a native of
South Jackson
,
MS
, joined the staff of the Division of Oral Oncology as Chief Dental Lab
Technician. Dental Lab Technology is in
Gary
’s DNA. His father, Charles Swedenburg, founded Swedenburg Dental Lab in
Jackson
in 1974.
Gary
originally started helping his Dad at the age of 13 whenever he had some
spare moments. He learned all phases of laboratory technology
on the job under the tutelage of his father and was joined in the family
business by a total of 5 additional brothers and sisters. Over time, he
gravitated to removable prosthodontics with a special interest in

Oncology was a perfect avenue for
Gary
as he had already begun to branch into maxillofacial technology and facial
prosthetic applications.
