Behind the Scenes at Nowak:
 Meet the Tooth Counter Team Powering Over 2,000 Cards of teeth a Day for 60+ Years

Brett Hovis

At Nowak Dental Supplies, we take pride in our fast, reliable service—but what really keeps things moving behind the scenes? This month, we’re turning the spotlight on one of the most vital (and impressive) teams in our warehouse: the denture tooth counters, affectionately known in-house as the “Tooth Fairies.”

This dedicated trio—Sally, Pedro, and Sally-Lynn—manage our extensive inventory of over 140,000 cards of denture teeth. Sally has led this department with precision and care for seven years, and two years ago, she was joined by her son Pedro, who is on the autism spectrum. Pedro brings energy, enthusiasm, and unwavering attention to detail to the team, embodying the spirit of the quote, “The only disability in life is a bad attitude.” His role is crucial to the success of our operations.

We proudly carry all the major denture tooth brands that dental labs rely on every day, including:

Kulzer – Featuring Artic, Delara, and Mondial
Dentsply Sirona – With trusted lines like Classic and Portrait
Evolut – Our exclusive private-label brand for a House Premium Denture offering

In April alone, our tooth counter team pulled an average of 2,036 cards of denture teeth daily. Yes, daily. That’s over two thousand individual cards selected, counted, and packed with expert care. From a single anterior to a full-arch setup, our team ensures every order is delivered accurately and on time.

It’s no small feat. Denture teeth come in countless mold and shade combinations. At Nowak, speed is never at the expense of accuracy. That’s why our tooth counters are not just logistics pros—they’re product experts who know the difference between a 62D and a 22E. And they double-check every tray before it leaves the line.

So the next time you open a Nowak box and find exactly what you need, you can thank the unsung heroes in our warehouse—the Tooth Fairies who make it all happen, day in and day out.
