  <description>We can’t believe we have gone this long with out talking to someone from Affordable Dentures and Implants (https://www.affordabledentures.com/). Luckily Ashleigh Henderson was willing to step up to the mic and tell us all about life there. Ashleigh started as a assistant and soon found the blood to be too much. After a clear aligner company and Aspen, Ashleigh then found her current home at Affordable. She talks about the training, the workflow, meeting patient expectations, going digital, and the benefit of Instagram.
Does your lab use Magic Touch? If not, you should think about switching just so you can use icortica (https://icortica.com/). Icortica is a program that uses all the data you already collect in Magic Touch and puts it in one easy to see, use, and understand dashboard. Look at every account and see trends, sales, notes, payments, and even remake percentages. Use the data you already have to take your lab and your customer service to the next level. Elvis uses it daily and swears it is a huge part to his success working at the lab. Head over to icortica.com/voices (https://icortica.com/voices-from-the-bench/) to learn more or send a email to Rob Nazzal at rob@icortica.com and tell him you heard about it on Voices From the Bench!
 Special Guest: Ashleigh Henderson.
