           NATIONAL DENTEX CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CORPORATE REALIGNMENT

NATIONAL DENTEX CORPORATION, WAYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, January 24, 2007- National
Dentex Corporation (NASDAQ: NADX), one of the largest owner/operators of dental
laboratories in the United States, today announced a realignment of its
corporate organization in order to help it better execute its operational
strategy.

LABORATORY OPERATIONS

The first element of the Company's reorganization is the appointment of John W.
(Josh) Green to the new position of Executive Vice President, Laboratory
Operations to oversee all forty-three of the Company's laboratories, each of
which will be aligned in turn under one of three vice presidents of operations.
In this new position, Mr. Green will report directly to David Brown, the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Josh Green joined National Dentex as a consultant upon the acquisition by the
Company of Green Dental Laboratory in March 2005. Josh started Green Dental in
1980 in Heber Springs, Arkansas and grew it over the years to the point where it
generated in excess of $16 million in revenues at the time of its acquisition by
National Dentex. With over 25 years of industry experience, Josh Green has
earned a reputation as an innovative laboratory operator through Green Dental's
product offerings and the clinically relevant professional training that it has
offered to its clients.

In fulfilling his new duties as Executive Vice President, Laboratory Operations,
Josh will be assisted by Douglas A. Baker, William G. Keller, and Thomas A.
Keller, who are each being appointed to new positions as Vice President,
Operations. In these new positions, each of Doug Baker, Bill Keller, and Tom
Keller will report directly to Josh Green.

Doug Baker has been with National Dentex since August 2004 when the Company
acquired D.H. Baker Dental Laboratory of Traverse City, Michigan. Doug founded
D. H. Baker over 25 years ago, and has grown the business through a dedication
to consistent quality, outstanding service and educational support aimed at
meeting and exceeding client expectations.

Bill Keller and Tom Keller both joined National Dentex in October 2006 upon its
acquisition of Keller Group, Incorporated, a dental laboratory business with
production facilities in St. Louis, Missouri and Louisville, Kentucky, and sales
offices in Kansas City, Missouri and Indianapolis, Indiana. We believe that the
Keller Group is widely recognized within the dental community as one of the best
managed, progressive and innovative laboratory businesses in the country.

David Brown, President and CEO, commented, "These changes are designed to align
our laboratory operations in a way that will better enhance decision making and
speed of execution, as well as help us be in a position to deliver the products
and services our clients want and need most. In Josh Green, we are fortunate to
have an extremely successful and talented leader with a track record of driving
growth and innovation leading the Company's laboratory operations. In Doug
Baker, Bill Keller and Tom Keller, we have been able to assemble a distinguished
and highly-regarded operations team to support and assist Josh as he undertakes
the new position of Executive Vice President, Laboratory Operations."



Mr. Brown added, "In connection with this corporate realignment of our
personnel, I am also pleased to announce that Art Champagne has been promoted to
Senior Vice President. In that position, he will be joining our other Senior
Vice President, Donald Merz. Both Art and Don will report directly to me and
will provide counsel and guidance to me as well as to Josh Green and his
operations team."

ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE

The second portion of the Company's corporate reorganization deals with changes
within the administration and finance area of National Dentex and focuses on
eliminating duplication, coordinating functions, and realigning resources.

Richard F. Becker, Jr., who has served as the Company's Chief Financial Officer
since 1997, will continue to actively lead and coordinate the Company's various
corporate and administrative functions in his continuing position as Executive
Vice President and Treasurer, which he has held since 2004. These functions
include acquisitions and corporate development, information technology, investor
relations and human resources. In addition, Mr. Becker has recently overseen the
integration of our new Canadian laboratory and will assume the responsibility
for and management of our Marketing & Sales and Research & Development offices.

Mr. Brown stated, "Mr. Becker has been an important contributor to the Company's
business strategies and has set and managed all aspects of financial and
administrative direction for over ten years. In Dick's new position, we expect
the Company will continue to benefit from his wide-ranging experience as he
further expands his role in our organization and assumes greater responsibility
in helping to coordinate the Company's operational and corporate functions with
the goal and objective of delivering greater value to our clients."

Wayne Coll will succeed Mr. Becker as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Mr. Coll has been with National Dentex for 16 years, including serving as the
Company's Vice President, Corporate Controller over the past two years. In his
new position as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Coll will be primarily responsible
for all finance, accounting and tax functions as well as general services and
facilities.

Mr. Brown added, "I am also delighted to announce the promotion of Wayne Coll to
the position of Vice President, CFO. Wayne's strong financial background,
industry experience, and proven leadership skills within our organization make
him an ideal choice to serve as our CFO."
