If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Will Varda, you’ll likely hear the same thing from everyone—he’s an incredibly nice guy, always smiling, funny, and truly passionate about dentistry. As someone who has worked with Will and Anvarda Dental Services for over 15 years, I’ve seen firsthand how he has built a successful lab by blending tradition with innovation.
Will’s journey into the dental world was almost inevitable. As a second-generation dental technician, he grew up immersed in the industry. His father, William Varda, has been a dental technician for over 50 years, with experience spanning from Iran to Beverly Hills to Canada. With a lab in his childhood home, Will himself took to the craft early on, learning the trade well before obtaining his formal dental technician’s certification. Now, with over 25 years of experience, as the owner of Anvarda Dental Services in North Vancouver, BC, he honors his father’s legacy while pushing the boundaries of modern dental technology.
Anvarda Dental Services was established in 1986 with a simple but powerful philosophy—offering “Big Lab Technology with Small Lab Service.” That balance between cutting-edge innovation and personalized craftsmanship is what sets Anvarda apart. From single-unit restorations to complex full-arch cases, the lab has become a trusted partner for dentists seeking precision, quality, and esthetics.
Will’s passion for technology is evident in every corner of his lab. Anvarda is fully equipped with Ivoclar PM7 mills, the full range of Asiga printers, and both 3Shape and Exocad software. With his extensive knowledge in digital workflows, Will is always willing to share his expertise, often contributing to dental forums and lecturing on CAD/CAM workflows. He even explores and lecturing on digital dentures, not just for business but out of genuine curiosity for where the industry is headed. That passion hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Anvarda Dental Services offers a wide range of solutions to meet the needs of modern dental practices:
-
Zirconia Restorations: Using high-performance materials like Ivoclar’s IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime, Anvarda ensures strength and esthetics in every case.
-
e.max Restorations: Whether pressed or milled, their lithium disilicate restorations offer lifelike translucency and durability.
-
Implant Solutions: The lab provides full-service implant planning, surgical guide printing, and restorations like all-on-x hybrids.
-
Digital Workflows: Fully integrated with all available intraoral scanners, Anvarda makes digital impressions seamless.
-
3D Printing: From surgical guides to temporaries and night guards, Anvarda maximizes precision with in-house printing capabilities.
-
Metal Frameworks: Rather than traditional casting, the lab utilizes milled CoCr frameworks for more reliable results.
Outside the lab, Will plays a pivotal role in shaping the dental industry. As the current President of the Dental Technicians Association of BC (DTABC), he has been instrumental in forging new partnerships with key manufacturers and professional associations, including Ivoclar and the Denturists Association of BC. Under his leadership, DTABC has significantly expanded its continuing education initiatives and elevated the quality and impact of its annual conference.
Will is also a respected and in-demand speaker, recognized for his deep expertise in highly esthetic and complex restorative cases. He is a speaker and beta tester for 3shape, and an independent certified trainer for Exocad. His close collaborations with dentists and oral surgeons on advanced treatment plans have further established him as a trusted authority and key opinion leader in the field.
Honoring Tradition, Embracing the Future
What makes Anvarda Dental Services truly special is its ability to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Whether it’s the artistry of layering e.max veneers or the precision of CAD/CAM-milled zirconia, Will and his team maintain an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Having worked with Will for years, I’ve witnessed his passion, dedication, and genuine desire to help others. He is not only a skilled technician and a leader in the field but also a trusted friend.
