AA Dental Design is a family owned and run dental laboratory in Murrieta, California. Founded by Francisco T Acosta in the mid 1960s, AA Dental Design as it is today opened its doors in 2010. Its website describes it as a Digital Workflow Laboratory, and it is a true family firm.

His plan, he told her, was to open a digital laboratory.
