Jack Manno, Kim Solomon, and Max Zanan will tell you how. 1:09:49 no Join the GOLDEN BENCH CLUB! All you have to do is leave us a 5-star review and comment on the Apple Podcast app (or any other app and email us a screen shot) and we will read your review on the podcast and welcome you to the Golden Bench Club. This super elite club is only for the best of the best. We all know the minute we remake something in the lab, the profit is gone. We just accept it and do our best to not have any remakes. But ALSO, a lot of it is not our fault and to keep a dentist happy, we eat it and do the remake anyway. What if there was a way to warranty everything the lab does for 5 years? I mean EVERYTHING..... even removables. Not only does that make your lab more attractive to dental offices, just think how easier it would be if every remake was a simple "okay" because you knew you would be paid for the remakes. Well, enter Quantum Health Holdings (https://quantumhh.com/). Less than a year ago, Jack Manno and Kim Solomon met insurance and warranty expert Max Zanan. Max has been working in the auto insurance area for a while and now he provides the service to dentist warranting their work. Jack and Kim thought it would be perfect for dental labs.

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. 59:10 no Larry Wiess from Weiss Advisors (https://weissadvisorsstl.com/) 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 Distinctive Dental Studio (https://www.ddsltdlab.com/) 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. Whip Mix (https://www.whipmix.com/)’s new Veriwash (https://www.whipmix.com/products/veriwash/) 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. 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. 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.
