Go show some love to Jaume Aisa Moreno who is reuniting Elvis with his podcast laptop!

Shaana Gripp started off as a dental assistant because of her grandmother. After getting into doing some lab work, found out that she really enjoyed it. In the early 2000s she was exposed to CEREC and a passion for designing started. Moving to a full-time position in a lab was where she picked up all the skills as they moved her from models, waxing, and eventually ceramics. Now Shaana is running an in-office lab that does the work of 8 dentists in 4 locations. Shaana talks about her journey, learning how to self-teach, daily life in her lab, and how photography plays a big part in her full arch work.

Usually when a dentist starts making their own restorations, they are Cerec crowns. But with all the advances in milling, printing, and now Artificial Intelligence it's becoming easier for clinics to have a in-office lab. Dr. Austin Vetter from Vetter Dental in Fargo North Dakota sees a lot of potential in employing and training an assistant to do the duties of a dental technician. Being a fan of technology and utilizing it for a streamlined workflow, Dr. Vetter comes on the podcast to talk about the equipment he uses, the software that makes it possible, the importance of the craft after the machine, and more importantly, as a clinician, where he sees dental laboratories place in a industry that is becoming more and more automated.
