This week, we sit down with a guest whose journey hits all the right notes—literally! Meet Jonathan Bourke, a jazz guitarist turned dental technician who went from pouring models to designing full-arch restorations and running his own in-office lab.
Jonathan shares how a chance gig driving for a denturist opened the door to a career he never expected, taking him from analog dentures to digital workflows, photogrammetry, and Exocad (https://exocad.com/) wizardry. Now a lab owner working directly with clinicians, Jonathan talks about collaboration in full-arch cases, teaching with Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/) and MiYO (https://miyoworld.com/), and what it’s like to see his work come to life chairside.
From learning CAM milling to demoing in front of dental rockstars, Jonathan’s story is a reminder that artistry comes in many forms—sometimes from six strings, sometimes from six implants.

Elvis and Barb are gearing up for their chat with the HyperDent Dude himself, Jordan Greenberg from FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/). At LabFest, Elvis found out that every hyperDENT (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) license comes with Template Editor Lite — a built-in feature that lets you make safe, customized tweaks to your milling strategies. Whether you want to prioritize surface quality or speed, this tool gives you the control to fine-tune your results while FOLLOW-ME! keeps everything validated and reliable.
Because in the end, us lab techs love to tinker — and hyperDENT makes it easy to choose your own CAM-venture.
Special Guest: Jonathan Bourke.

A BIG thanks to Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/) for allowing us to record at the amazing FDLA Symposium &amp;amp; Expo!
First up is a dentist turned sales rep and now 26 years with Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/), Nick Bathija. Nick talks about becoming a dentist, falling in love, and learning that he's not really suited to be a dentist. Starting with Jensen when it was still a mostly alloy company and being there when MIYO (https://miyoworld.com/) hit the scene, Nick can talk a lot about what makes MIYO so great!
Then we are visited by past podcast guest, Shaana Gripp. Shaana went from an introverted in-office technician to leading education at Harvest Dental (https://harvestdental.com/). She talks about making the switch, getting used to being in front of a camera, and the joy of seeing people get better with techniques she taught them.
We wrap up the episode with a conversation with long time lab manager at Drake Dental Laboratory (https://drakelab.com/), Mark Stueck. Mark talks about going from a McDonald's Manager to delivery driver, being recruited to another state, being there for 36 years, and why it was important for him to give back on the NBC board.

  <description>Our first episode since returning from the AMAZING Exocad (https://exocad.com/) Insights meeting in SPAIN!  Thank you to all the wonderful people that put on the show and to everyone that stopped by and recorded with us. We can't wait to release all the episodes!
Go show some love to Jaume Aisa Moreno (https://www.facebook.com/jaume.aisamoreno) 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.

  <description>Can you believe that LMT (https://lmtmag.com/) Lab Day Chicago was almost 3 months ago?  We got 7 hours of recordings when we were set up in the Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Ballroom. This week wraps it all up with 4 amazing conversations from that wonderful weekend.
First up is Susan van Kensbergen who is the Vice President of Myerson (https://www.myersontooth.com/). Susan talks about her journey from being a ceramist, moving up in lab responsibility, managing the world's largest LAVA milling center, and finding her new home at Myerson, the home of Durflex (https://www.myersontooth.com/duraflex/) and an upcoming "game changing" printer.
Then we chat with Neal Allen from Mustard Seed Dental Studio (https://www.mustardseeddental.com/). Neal spent 20 years in a large lab before moving into a growing lab owned by a Prosthodontist. Neal talks about the importance of creating a happy lab culture and treating the employees like family.
Next is the "better" half of Artifex Dental Lab (https://artifexlab.com/), Julio Munoz. Julio grew up in Bolivia where he is a board-certified Oral Surgeon. A lady brought him to the US where he connected with Artifex and helped create the "Triple Jig" technique for full arch implant restorations. 
We wrap us the whole weekend with a special treat, Barb's technician son, Zack Wojdan. Zack talks about growing up in the lab, starting at the beginning, working his way up, working with his mom, and goals for the future. 
A BIG thanks to LMT for putting on an amazing weekend and a BIGGER THANKS to Ivoclar for hosting us.

  <description>Continuing the conversation from last week, Elvis and Barb are talking with Pete Villhard and Roy Banwell from Digital Dental. They talk about what a lab needs to do in order to complete a Crystal Ultra case. Crystal Ultra is a nanoceramic material that is replacing full arch zirconia restorations by being easier on opposing and repairable. They also speak on the "FDA-feared" in lab abutment milling and how they can help any lab do it.

    <![CDATA[<p>Continuing the conversation from last week, Elvis and Barb are talking with Pete Villhard and Roy Banwell from Digital Dental. They talk about what a lab needs to do in order to complete a Crystal Ultra case. Crystal Ultra is a nanoceramic material that is replacing full arch zirconia restorations by being easier on opposing and repairable. They also speak on the &quot;FDA-feared&quot; in lab abutment milling and how they can help any lab do it.  </p>
