  <description>&lt;h3&gt;Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt;. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-e.max-zircad" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;IPS Emax Zirconia&lt;/a&gt; offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why &lt;a href="https://www.knightdentalgroup.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Knight Dental&lt;/a&gt; recently launched &lt;strong&gt;SimplyARCH Studio&lt;/strong&gt;, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing &lt;a href="https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hyperDENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set &lt;a href="https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;hyperDENT&lt;/a&gt; apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, &lt;a href="https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;hyperDENT&lt;/a&gt; helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book,&lt;a href="https://a.co/d/04V5YKvu" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; &lt;em&gt;The Invisible Profession&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, &lt;a href="https://a.co/d/04V5YKvu" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; &lt;em&gt;The Invisible Profession&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book,&lt;a href="https://a.co/d/04V5YKvu" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; &lt;em&gt;The Invisible Profession&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next. Special Guest: Matt Everatt.&lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>This week we talk with Richard Rosas Sr, an artist-turned-removable specialist whose journey took him from salsa studios and computer programming to managing a lab and mastering high-volume implant workflows at ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers. 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.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;h3&gt;Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah!&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;If you’re passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I’m honored to be part of &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt;’s development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, I&lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/veneering-materials/ips-e.max-ceram-art" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;PS e.max Ceram Art&lt;/a&gt;. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Let’s continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and &lt;a href="https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;hyperDENT&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="https://www.followmetechnology.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;FOLLOW-ME! Technology&lt;/a&gt; was everywhere.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults…&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;That’s what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This week, we sit down with Richard Rosas Sr — artist, entrepreneur, removable specialist, and the man behind one of the most creative workflows we’ve heard in a long time. Richard’s journey starts in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he grew up moving between nine schools, discovered a gift for fine art, and even earned a scholarship to Tyler School of Art and Architecture — which he turned down out of fear of becoming a starving artist. After a detour into computer programming, granite engraving, and even opening a salsa dance studio with his mom (yes, there’s a South Beach nightclub moment that changed everything), Richard eventually answered a tiny newspaper ad asking, “Are you an artist?” That question led him into a dental laboratory and launched a career that would blend creativity, discipline, faith, and serious removable skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under intense mentorship and PTC-style training, Richard sharpened his craft in removables, eventually managing a department and earning enough respect that doctors specifically requested him chairside. One large account even pulled all their cases after Richard pushed back on unrealistic deadlines — only to return weeks later with deeper respect and loyalty. That experience shaped his philosophy: honesty, communication, and quality always win long term. His path then led him to ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers, where performing four to six arches a day gave him next-level surgical and prosthetic experience. It was there that the real lightbulb went off — immediate impression evaluation, real-time patient interaction, faster turnaround, and true collaboration between surgeon, prosthodontist, and technician completely changed his view of what was possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now Richard has taken that high-efficiency, patient-centered model and built something entirely his own: a boutique removable lab with a fully functional, patent-pending mobile on-site dental laboratory inside a Mercedes Sprinter van. By bringing the lab directly to private practices, he combines multiple traditional appointments into streamlined visits, delivers final dentures in as little as two weeks, processes chairside in the parking lot, and markets not only to dentists but directly to patients. His mission isn’t just to make dentures faster — it’s to elevate the technician’s role, strengthen patient connection, and show that removables can be both efficient and beautiful. Through his new YouTube channel, &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RemovablesLab" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Mastering Removables&lt;/a&gt;, he’s beginning to share that knowledge with others who want to rethink what a lab can be. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Hey, listeners—ever wonder what Elvis is doing when he’s not recording Voices from the Bench?&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;He’s a client rep for Derby Dental Laboratory, out in the field every day doing chairside visits and building relationships. His job is simple—keep doctors happy and keep them coming back.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;And he couldn’t do it without &lt;a href="https://www.icortica.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;iCortica&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Right from his phone, Elvis can see sales, remake rates, account notes, risks, and cross-sell opportunities—even before he walks through the door. No spreadsheets. No surprises. Just the info he needs to grow accounts.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Stop digging for data and start taking action.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Head to icortica.com and schedule your demo today.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Join us at &lt;a href="https://exocad.com/insights-2026" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;exocad Insights 2026&lt;/a&gt;, happening April 30–May 1, 2026, on the stunning island of Mallorca, Spain. This two-day event features powerhouse keynotes, hands-on workshops, live software demos, and top-tier industry showcases—all in one unforgettable setting.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Barb and Elvis will be on site bringing you exclusive interviews, plus don’t miss the FIRST 5k run on the coast! And of course, cap it all off with the legendary exoGlam Night under the stars.&lt;/h3&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DON'T MISS the dental event of the year, November 7-8. &lt;a href="https://www.nowakdental.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Nowak Dental Supplies&lt;/a&gt; is hosing &lt;a href="https://www.nolalabfest.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;NOLA Lab Fest&lt;/a&gt; in New Orleans, Louisiana. Head over to nolalabfest.com to see the line up and to register.&lt;br&gt;
A HUGE thanks to &lt;a href="https://www.aidite.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Aidite North America&lt;/a&gt; for hosting the podcast at their booth. Come find us and be on the podcast!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yet even more conversations that Elvis and Barb got while in the &lt;a href="https://exocad.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;exocad&lt;/a&gt; booth at IDS 2025..... back in MARCH!! First up is a visit from on one our favorite companies  that make bars, &lt;a href="https://pantheradental.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Panthera&lt;/a&gt;. Instead of our usual guest we get to meet &lt;strong&gt;Pierre-Luc Duchesne&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Dereck Donnelly&lt;/strong&gt;. PL is their Director of Marketing and Derek is head of Global Customer Experience. Together the talk about being at their second IDS show, how they make their product an experience for the customer, the &lt;a href="https://pantheradental.com/products-solutions/panthera-fusion-bar/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Fusion Bar&lt;/a&gt; that only needs &lt;strong&gt;5mm&lt;/strong&gt; of clearance, their &lt;a href="https://pantheradental.com/vita-and-panthera-distribution-partnership/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;partnership with VITA&lt;/a&gt;, and the second coming of &lt;a href="https://pantheradental.com/three_finalists_of_the_2023_masters_cup/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;The Master Cup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then we got to talk to an Irish dentist that practices in Scotland, &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Eimear O’Connell&lt;/strong&gt;. She was plastered on the walls of the exocad booth 20 feet tall because she was one of the "Heroes of Digital Dentistry" and her journey is astounding. Dr. O'Connell talks about learning that Cerec was harder than it looks back in 2007, learning to work with amazing labs, using exocad to help her sell treatment by using the &lt;a href="https://exocad.com/our-products/exocad-art" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;ART function&lt;/a&gt;, and a very concerning trend in the UK that makes it harder to be a dentist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Let's be honest. There are a LOT of zirconia on the market these days. How do you know which is which? Is one better than another? Is there one that can handle every situation? Check out a FREE webinar from &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt; called &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/course/zirconia-unboxed/246115?utm_source=External+-+Voice+from+the+Bench&amp;amp;utm_medium=QR+code&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Academy&amp;amp;utm_term=August" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Zirconia Unboxed with Jeff Smith, CDT.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;"This introductory webinar is the first in a five-part series designed to address the most frequently asked questions by dental labs when selecting zirconia for their restorations. With a focus on practical guidance, this session explores the key considerations in choosing the right zirconia, including material properties, esthetics, and processing techniques.

First up is a visit from on one our favorite companies  that make bars, <a href="https://pantheradental.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Panthera</a>. Instead of our usual guest we get to meet <strong>Pierre-Luc Duchesne</strong> and <strong>Dereck Donnelly</strong>. PL is their Director of Marketing and Derek is head of Global Customer Experience. Together the talk about being at their second IDS show, how they make their product an experience for the customer, the <a href="https://pantheradental.com/products-solutions/panthera-fusion-bar/" rel="nofollow noopener">Fusion Bar</a> that only needs <strong>5mm</strong> of clearance, their <a href="https://pantheradental.com/vita-and-panthera-distribution-partnership/" rel="nofollow noopener">partnership with VITA</a>, and the second coming of <a href="https://pantheradental.com/three_finalists_of_the_2023_masters_cup/" rel="nofollow noopener">The Master Cup</a>.</p>

<p>Then we got to talk to an Irish dentist that practices in Scotland, <strong>Dr. Eimear O’Connell</strong>. She was plastered on the walls of the exocad booth 20 feet tall because she was one of the "Heroes of Digital Dentistry" and her journey is astounding. Dr. O'Connell talks about learning that Cerec was harder than it looks back in 2007, learning to work with amazing labs, using exocad to help her sell treatment by using the <a href="https://exocad.com/our-products/exocad-art" rel="nofollow noopener">ART function</a>, and a very concerning trend in the UK that makes it harder to be a dentist.</p>

<h3>Let's be honest. There are a LOT of zirconia on the market these days. How do you know which is which? Is one better than another? Is there one that can handle every situation? Check out a FREE webinar from <a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener">Ivoclar</a> called <a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/course/zirconia-unboxed/246115?utm_source=External+-+Voice+from+the+Bench&amp;utm_medium=QR+code&amp;utm_campaign=Academy&amp;utm_term=August" rel="nofollow noopener">Zirconia Unboxed with Jeff Smith, CDT.</a></h3>

<h3>"This introductory webinar is the first in a five-part series designed to address the most frequently asked questions by dental labs when selecting zirconia for their restorations. With a focus on practical guidance, this session explores the key considerations in choosing the right zirconia, including material properties, esthetics, and processing techniques.

June 13-14 at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek in Orlando, FL&lt;br&gt;
Register today at: FDLA.NET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We save a conversation from the &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt; Ballroom at Lab Day Chicago to release this week so if you are at &lt;a href="https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabdaywest" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Lab Day West&lt;/a&gt; you can go meet Mark Hidde from &lt;a href="https://www.winwingo.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;WINWINGO.com&lt;/a&gt;. Mark comes on to talk about owning a lab and seeing the struggles to find good talent. So he created a website where labs can create a profile to look for technicians and technicians can post that they are looking for a good lab. It's a different approach to a much-needed service in our industry. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then we have a conversation with Chris Nevarez. Chris started his dental career with Patterson. From warehouse to customer service, Chris started to really understand the ins and outs of clinical dentistry. After his mother needed some dental work, Chris found a way for her medical insurace to help cover a lot of the cost. Now he is doing this for patients and clinics. The best part about all of this is that if more people have access to care, then that is more cases coming to the labs. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Take it from Laura Prosser, the digital marketing manager for &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar North America&lt;/a&gt;. She would like to invite you to start following them on Instagram.

Just record yourself on your phone or computer and email it to <a href="mailto:info@voicesfromthebench.com" rel="nofollow noopener">info@voicesfromthebench.com</a> and we will play it on the show.</p>

<p>Back in February, there is the biggest dental lab meeting in the US called Lab Day Chicago. We were set up in the <a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" rel="nofollow noopener">Ivoclar</a> Ballroom all weekend and recorded a ton of great people. This week brings two fantastic conversations. First up is Chet Spivey. Chet has been with Ivoclar for over 25 years and tells us about the journey of the innovative company. With so many products under their belt, Ivoclar can celebrate their 100th year by honoring the customers. Then we finally get to chat with Canadian Denturist superstar Esther Schwenning. Esther talks about following in a family tradition of becoming a denturist, learning and teaching the suction denture technique, <a href="https://www.nldenture.ca/" rel="nofollow noopener">setting up her practice</a> to go all in with digital, and of course….. beer. </p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://dentallabfoundation.org/news-events/race-for-the-future/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Participate or Cheer on the racers in Chicago at the Race For the Future 8.0 August 28, 2022&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's not easy being a dental lab. Of course it's extremely rewarding, but it's also very hard. It's even harder for small to medium labs to compete with large labs and their buying power. Enter &lt;a href="https://americasmiles.net/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;AmericaSmiles&lt;/a&gt;. Keith Crittenden has a long history of knowing how labs work. From working in a few, to eventually owning his own, Keith has lived the struggles that lab have every day. Once he realized that helping doctors find patients means his lab will get more work, an idea was born. Now Keith and AmericaSmiles help labs everyday with marketing, milling, supplies, and finding additional revenue where most labs don't even think to look. Some valuable knowledge is shared in this episode that can help any lab. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The fastest growing product at &lt;a href="https://www.gro3x.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Gro3X&lt;/a&gt; are the Gro3X Aligners. Gro3X Aligners are only available from Gro3X Aligner certified labs: Why? Because they believe in the synergies that are being created between you, the dental office, and your lab. And they want to further leverage these synergies. Their aligners are used as a pre-treatment to a larger restorative esthetic case, to widen gaps prior to placing implants, to close a diastema, ease crowding, and simply enhance your patient’s smiles. Even for your Essix retainer needs your Gro3X aligner certified lab can help. Look for a Gro3X Aligner certified lab near you, such as &lt;a href="http://www.castlelab.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Castle Dental Lab&lt;/a&gt; in San Antonio, TX (ask for Blaine), &lt;a href="https://www.amkdentallaboratory.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;AMK Dental Lab&lt;/a&gt; in O’Neill, NE (ask for Anne), &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/staggsdental" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Staggs Dental Lab&lt;/a&gt; in McCoole Maryland (ask for Derrick), &lt;a href="https://www.aadentaldesign.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;AA Dental Design&lt;/a&gt; in Murrieta, CA (ask for Frankie), and many, many more… For a complete listing of Gro3X Aligner Certified Labs go to &lt;a href="http://www.gro3x.com" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;www.gro3x.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt;, known today for its digital equipment and materials, has been known for decades as a leader in occlusion products with its &lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/product-overview/?product-cat=occlusion" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix, Hanau, and Denar articulators and facebows&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The most popular of these is the Denar Mark 300 Series articulator. These popular semi-adjustable instruments are engineered for superior performance and tested thoroughly based on proven methodology. They bring a new standard of interchangeability with factory set accuracy within 20 microns. With their sleek, ergonomic design and powder-coated finish, these articulators have a contemporary look that’s as durable as it is aesthetically pleasing.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The&lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/products/denar-mark-320-dental-articulator/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Denmat Mark 320 articulator&lt;/a&gt; features Adjustable condylar inclination with 0 to 60,° and Progressive side shift fixed at 15°. The Denar Mark 300 comes complete with: Dust cover, 10 magnetic mounting plates, instructions and standard black carrying case.&lt;/h3&gt;

  <itunes:author>Elvis Dahl &amp; Barb Warner</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>This week is a conversation with The Hive.  That's right, an amazing laboratory owned by Emily &amp; Eleanor Pittard in the UK. They talk about creating The Hive, being able to see patients, winning awards, and giving back. </itunes:subtitle>
  <itunes:duration>1:05:28</itunes:duration>

  <itunes:image href="https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-images-2024/podcasts/images/e/e7665600-2cb9-4cb2-b0ba-2eada9f69007/episodes/e/e9807982-bd46-4b86-8fa8-c318faca83f4/cover.jpg?v=1"/>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;When we see unique and interesting labs online, we get to have them on the podcast and talk to them. That is exactly what we did when we saw &lt;a href="https://www.thehivedental.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;The Hive&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/hive_dental_laboratory/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Instantgram&lt;/a&gt;. Turns out it owned by Eleanor and Emily Pittard. Together they have created an amazing &lt;a href="https://www.thehivedental.co.uk/the-dentistry-awards-2021/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;award winning (really) dental laboratory&lt;/a&gt; in Dorset, UK. Emily is a Clinical Dental Technician (think denturist) and Eleanor is the mastermind behind the business and marketing. They talk about creating The Hive, taking it mobile during the pandemic, setting it up to see patients directly, and making sure they are giving back to the environment. &lt;/p&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;

  <itunes:subtitle>A married couple with different backgrounds come together to create two amazing labs in two different countries. Dimitri Tsichlis and Lidia Croteau own a lab in Canada. Sick of the cold, they opened their new lab in Florida to hand pick the work they want to do and they DO IT RIGHT in so many areas.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Joining the podcast are Dimitri Tsichlis and Lidia Croteau from &lt;a href="https://www.styledent.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Styledent Dental Laboratory&lt;/a&gt;. This married couple have pulled their skills together to successfully run not one lab, but two. They talk about how they met in college, taking over Dimitri's father's lab in Canada, growing with the help of Lidia's marketing expertise, taking on technology to stay current, opening their lab in Florida, and also some interesting differences between the US and Canada.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Few things create more interest today than the Digital Denture. &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; has developed a processing system for printed dentures, which uses &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/dentca/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Dentca&lt;/a&gt;, the first 3D-printed denture and denture teeth resins to receive FDA clearance.  Their physical properties and biocompatibility pass FDA requirements and enable the printed denture properties to be very similar to conventional dentures. The material, coupled with fast and easy 3D-printing with&lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/asiga-max/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Asiga printers&lt;/a&gt; and the convenience of curing with a &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/uvitron-uv-sunray-400-curing-unit/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Uvitron UV light&lt;/a&gt;, results in fewer dentist visits, predictable fit, re-printable data files, lower costs and excellent intraoral denture performance.&lt;/h3&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Jim Gorgol has been a lab owner for many years. As he looks to retire, he wants to get his lab so he and his employees are left in a good spot.  That is exactly why he is working with Larry Weiss at Weiss Advisors. Larry helps labs by bringing his years of experience in the industry. They talk about the process of taking a good lab and making it great.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Larry Wiess from &lt;a href="https://weissadvisorsstl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Weiss Advisors&lt;/a&gt; started a company to help other labs after his time with Keller Dental Lab and NDX. Larry has taken his years of experience to assist labs that needed the extra, "outside" help to either prepare for sale or to increase productivity. Jim Gorgol from &lt;a href="https://www.ddsltdlab.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Distinctive Dental Studio&lt;/a&gt; is looking at eventually retiring. Jim wants to make sure that he can do that comfortably but wants to also make sure that the employees are left in a good spot too. They talk about determining the ultimate goal, setting up milestones along the way, and the type of processes they put in place to reach that goal. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt;’s new &lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/products/veriwash/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Veriwash&lt;/a&gt; resin cleaning station is the ideal piece of equipment to use in the 3D printed resin post process. It’s oscillating, multi-speed stirrer produces a tornado-like vortex every 30-seconds, and  guarantees efficient, effective and powerful cleaning whether the units are individual or still attached to the build plate.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The two alcohol baths make an effective step-wash system. It cleans more efficiently and there is less alcohol needed, since  it is re-used for both a fresh bath and a dirty bath.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The VeriWash’s intelligent design offers features such as Mode, Time, and Start/Stop button display which gives the operator full and automatic control of the cleaning process. A mesh basket used in the wash container makes it easy to keep track of small printed parts when cleaning. The affordable unit’s one-year warranty ensures peace-of-mind for the owner.&lt;/h3&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>This week we are joined by the CEO of MircoDental Laboratories, Laura Kelly. Laura talks about working her way up in the lab, becoming the first female and technician president of the AACD, and how MicroDental is changing with dentistry. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you know a technician that just started?  Working in the model room or opaquing crowns?  That person could be the next CEO of a global network of labs.  We welcome Laura Kelly who had a similar story. She started at &lt;a href="https://www.microdental.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Microdental Laboratories&lt;/a&gt; not knowing what a dental lab was and has worked hard to become it's CEO. Along they way she became the first female and the first technician to be the president of the &lt;a href="https://aacd.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)&lt;/a&gt; and owned her own lab that grew to be purchased by another lab group. She talks about what MicroDental stands for, how they dealt with the pandemic shutdown, and how they came out of it strong. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/smiles-matter/id1511050834" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Smile Matters Podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; introduces the Bellus3D Dental Pro Face Scanning Solution. This new, practical addition to dentistry provides the dentist with a fast, easy, and affordable way to capture a detailed 3D facial scan and the laboratory an intelligent way to create the smile design. With this app, a complete 3D facial (and even whole head) scan can even be captured for virtual model and articulator alignment.&lt;/h3&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Back in September Dentsply Sirona asked Elvis to speak at the DS Lab Marketing Summit. Initially he was not going to record, but they asked him to set up and the people he sat down with were amazing! Elvis got to talk to attendee Dillon Guppta who is a Denturist from Toronto Canada. Not only does Dillon see patients all day, but he also has a commercial lab and he has traveled all the way to North Carolina to discover new marketing techniques. After the event Sasha Der Avanessian sat down for a conversation that will make you think about how you market.  It's not about the product. It's about reaching a human attribute and emotion.  &lt;/p&gt;
