Horizon Dental Donates New Dental Assisting Chairs to LSCO

July 15, 2025


The Lamar State College Orange (LSCO) Dental Assisting program has received a generous donation of new dental assisting chairs from Dr. Riedel, lead dentist at Horizon Dental.  

Dr. Riedel has a history of supporting LSCO by providing clinical opportunities for dental students and donating the panoramic x-ray machine currently used in radiology courses. His contribution of new chairs will further ensure that students have ample opportunities to receive hands-on training. These new additions allot more time for each student to familiarize themselves with the assisting chair prior to stepping into clinical rotations.

Dental Assisting program director Colleen Baker is thrilled to utilize this new equipment in her classroom. She is thankful to Dr. Riedel for his continual support of LSCO.

“We are extremely grateful for Dr. Riedel’s generous donation of dental assisting chairs,” said Colleen Baker. “As a long-time supporter of the LSCO Dental Assisting Program, Dr. Riedel’s ongoing contributions of equipment, time, and effort are deeply valued and sincerely appreciated by both our faculty and students.”
