Our Events
Several times a year, Colonial Dental Lab sponsors continuing education programs featuring the latest techniques and concepts in dentistry presented by many of the most highly respected speakers. These programs have primarily been presented in evening seminars at our West Berlin facility since our laboratory opened at this location in 1999. We also have offered many day long programs at different venues in the South Jersey area. Among these venues was the Battleship New Jersey and more recently, the Adventure Aquarium. Although many of these programs are presented in conjunction or cosponsored by various manufacturers and implant companies, most of our programs are of an educational and clinical nature and carry with them accredited continuing education credits from the ADA – CERP.
Below are listed over forty lecturers and clinicians with whom we have sponsored programs at our laboratory and other venues in the last 24 years.

Born in the Ukraine, Yakov, or Yan as he is generally known, received his Degree in Dentistry from the School of Denistry in Nikolaev, Ukraine, in 1971. Coming to the United States in 1990, Yan was able to quickly apply his knowledge of dentistry into a career in dental technology. In 1991Yan joined Colonial Dental Lab, at that time located in Blackwood, New Jersey. Yan left Colonial in 1995 to pursue other interests and that same year became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He returned to Colonial in 2000 in their new modern facility in West Berlin, New Jersey.
Upon Yan’s return, he was named manager of Colonial’s Removable/Prosthetics Department. The growing demand for implant supported overdentures on fully edentulous patients opened up a new opportunity for Colonial to not only fabricate these restorations, but to provide a skilled technician to work with both the specialists and general dentists to help facilitate the entire process. Yan was the perfect fit for this position and became Implant Department manager in 2005. Yan is instrumental in the fabrication of hybrids, overdentures utilizing Locators and other attachments, immediate load restorations, and restorations following the All-on-Four and Diem 2 protocols. Yan frequently visits offices to help with treatment planning, and has observed many implant surgeries and procedures.
