  <description>&lt;p&gt;So many great dental lab shows to look forward to in 2022:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vision 21: &lt;a href="https://nadl.org/events/v21/2022/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://nadl.org/events/v21/2022/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Cal-Lab: &lt;a href="https://cal-lab.org/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://cal-lab.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
LMT Lab Day Chicago: &lt;a href="https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
DLAT Southwest Conference: &lt;a href="https://members.dlat.org/membership/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://members.dlat.org/membership/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
FDLA Southern States Expo: &lt;a href="https://www.fdla.net/symposium" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.fdla.net/symposium&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Ladies of the Mill: &lt;a href="https://www.ladiesofthemill.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.ladiesofthemill.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This week we are talking to two amazing ladies who came together during the pandemic to open the lab of their dreams. Vicki Thomas and Carolynn Capps come from different laboratory backgrounds but found a common ground with their unique skills they each bring. That’s why they opened up &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/shedesignsdental/?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;She Designs Dental Studios&lt;/a&gt; in Matthews, North Carolina. This all pink, female owned, and operated lab is different than the labs you usually see out there. Vicki and Carolyn talk about their backgrounds, how they met, and how they put together a different experience for their clients and patients, all under the light of a giant chandelier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; offers you the ultimate in ease, material flexibility and unattended production with the &lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/products/roland-dwx-52dci/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Roland DGA DWX-52DCi&lt;/a&gt; milling machine. The popular mill’s automatic disc changer expands your lab production and profit, using a 6-slot Automatic Disc Changer, 15-station Automatic Tool Changer and several other automated features.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The DWX-52DCi dental milling machine now comes with performance visualization software and other intelligent updates. The 5-axis mill even knows which tool to automatically swap out when tools have reached their designated lifespan. Just power it on, let it go, and automatically and accurately mill numerous dental restoration jobs with complete unattended confidence.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;If you want to save, and also grow, &lt;a href="https://www.gro3x.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Gro3X&lt;/a&gt; is, where you should go!&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.gro3x.com/collections/print" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Resins&lt;/a&gt; to print night guards, for high-impact and flex, look no further, because we have them at Gro3X.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.gro3x.com/collections/mill" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Burs&lt;/a&gt; for your mills, &lt;a href="https://www.gro3x.com/collections/aidite" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Zirconia&lt;/a&gt; for your crowns, with Gro3X you will be the hottest lab in town!&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;And last but not least, if you seriously want to grow, add &lt;a href="https://www.gro3x.com/pages/aligners" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Gro3X Aligners&lt;/a&gt;, and your doctors will say Wowww!&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Special Guests: Carolynn Capps CDT and Vicki Thomas.&lt;/p&gt;
