After seeing firsthand the power of chairside collaboration and in-house efficiency, Richard built a boutique removable lab — and then took it a step further by creating a fully functional mobile dental lab inside a Sprinter van. Now he’s redefining how dentures are delivered, combining speed, aesthetics, and patient connection while sharing his workflow through education and content creation.
