Dr. Domingue also talks about his way of giving back to dentistry with his invention of the Vortex screw. 1:01:37 no Usually, dental technicians frown upon dentists that do their own work. I mean, we get it, but we still want to do the work for you. But some dentists go as far as turning it into a 15 person lab doing work for other dentists. That we can get behind, because at that point they are creating careers for dental technicians. Dr. Donny Domingue followed an uncle to become a dentist. Wanting to do more with implants, he did a residency in New York that allowed him to place many. Once he found his home again in Lafayette, LA, Dr. Domingue started working with labs for his implant restorations. He found that he needed to educate many labs on the proper way to make a custom abutment. That's when he started doing his own. It wasn't long before he was doing them for other dentist and opened Louisiana Dental Implant Lab (https://www.ladentalimplantlab.com/). It was after training a bunch of engineers to be dental technician that Dr. Domingue developed the Vortex screw (https://www.ladentalimplantlab.com/collections/vortex-screws/products/vortex%E2%84%A2-1-4mm-direct-to-mua-screw) to help him with his own full arch cases.
