Our History
Gant Dental Supply Co. has a rich history deeply rooted in the dedication and expertise of three generations. Bobby Gant embarked on his journey in the dental industry at Health Co. during the early 1960s. In 1965, he took a bold step by leaving his position to establish Gant Dental Services, the pioneering independent dental equipment repair service in Texas.
In March 1981, Bobby's son, Gene Gant, continued the family legacy, stepping into the role of a second-generation dental equipment technician. Gene's passion and commitment to excellence were evident as he followed in his father's footsteps. Meanwhile, in the early 1990s, the third generation of the Gant family, Shawn Gant, began his training in dental equipment repair at his grandfather's shop, displaying a remarkable aptitude for the craft from a remarkably young age.
With guidance from both his father and grandfather, Shawn honed his skills and knowledge, becoming an integral part of the family business by the age of 16. Together, the three generations worked tirelessly to serve dental practices across the greater Houston area until Bobby's passing in August 2009.
Today, Gene Gant proudly leads Gant Dental Supply Co. in Houston, TX, carrying forward the legacy established by his father. While Bobby may no longer be with us, his values of professionalism, integrity, honesty, and hard work continue to form the bedrock of our company's ethos. With a steadfast commitment to these principles, Gant Dental Supply Co. remains a trusted name in the dental industry, dedicated to upholding the values that have defined our legacy for years.
