Legacy Dental Studio is a niche dental laboratory focused on cosmetic restorations that mimic nature.  Austin Rickert is a 5th generation dental technician with over two decades of quality experience. As a kid growing up in his father’s laboratory, he was involved in all areas of the fabrication process at an early age.  Throughout the years he has completed several advanced training courses on both tooth morphology and function, exercising the occlusal compass as well as various biomimetic techniques. Austin has even taught courses for GC America. 

Legacy Dental Studio, formally known as Lande Dental Lab, was the Lab Austin grew up working at with his father. It was also one of the first specialty labs to open in the Indianapolis area and has been owned and operated by his family for the last 38 years.  After his father unexpectedly passed on and left the business to Austin, he decided to change the name to Legacy Dental Studio in honor of him.  Austin and his wife Samantha own and operate the business now, together they are committed to God and bringing him glory in everything they do. They are very passionate about providing exceptional restorations with an uncompromising commitment to quality and putting people over profit. Austin & Samantha look forward to maintaining and continuing the legacy of his family as well as creating their own legacy together. They are best friends, soulmates and have personalities that complement each other making them great partners.  In 2023 God blessed them with their beautiful daughter Violet and they have a Brittany named Scout. 

In loving memory of Drew Rickert my father, friend, and mentor.

I would not be the technician I am today without your love and support, always inspiring me to be great. -Austin
