History of Borough Crown and Bridge

Incorporated in 1985

Founded in 1985 by Ian Murch and Andrew Morton, BCB has spent nearly four decades refining its reputation for precision, consistency, and deep-rooted relationships with clinicians. From smile design to complex implantology, their work is trusted by over 50 private practices—and backed by a sophisticated digital setup.

“BCB is a brilliant example of a high-quality, innovative digital laboratory with a long-standing track record of technical excellence,” said Kieran Callan, Executive Chairman of Rosemont Dental Group. “Ian and Andy have cultivated a culture of craftsmanship, innovation, and trust, and we’re proud to help support that journey into the next chapter.”

After first meeting during their training at Guy’s Hospital, Ian and Andy built BCB from the ground up. They began by converting a former hair salon into the purpose-built lab, a great example of their hands-on approach and long-term thinking.

BCB integrates advanced CAD/CAM workflows, 3D printing capabilities, and high-performance milling systems, all designed around seamless intraoral scanner integration. The lab also features porcelain and pressing furnaces to deliver high-end restorative results. Their long-standing affiliations with the Dental Laboratories Association, MHRA, and clinical organisations like ITI and ADI reflect a business that not only leads technically but also contributes to the evolution of UK dentistry.

“We’ve always believed that our work should speak for itself—built on quality, consistency, and relationships,” said Ian Murch. “In Rosemont, we found a partner that doesn’t just understand that philosophy—they protect and amplify it.”
