  <description>&lt;h3&gt;Join Elvis and Barb at the &lt;a href="https://dtgevents.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;DTG Symposium on September 15-16 at the GC America Facility in Alsip, IL&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's be honest, digital outsourcing is a great way to keep up on the growing amount of work coming into labs and the lack of finding good technicians to handle it. That is where &lt;a href="https://evidentdigital.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Evident&lt;/a&gt; comes in. &lt;a href="https://evidentlabs.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Evident&lt;/a&gt; has been providing lab management software for 15 years and understands what a lab needs. This week we meet the VP of Digital Design Services, Guy Manzies. Guy talks about all the things Evident does. From the Lab Management software that stated the whole company to their 350 designers working 24 hours a day to help with your production. We also get into how they train and scale so many technicians, how they cater to your lab’s preferences, their new integration with &lt;a href="https://exocad.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;ExoCAD&lt;/a&gt;, and some interesting trends that only a company of that size and global footprint can see. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Did you know that &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt; has &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/landing-pages/digital-equipment" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Digital Equipment Sales Specialists&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;These experienced professionals are here to help make your transition to digital, a smooth one. They help provide customized solutions, analyze your ROI, provide hands on assistance and localized support.  All of this, catered to your needs.  Contact a Digital Equipment Sales Specialist today by emailing &lt;a href="mailto:Digitalspecialists@ivoclar.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Digitalspecialists@ivoclar.com&lt;/a&gt;.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Be sure to stop by the &lt;a href="https://www.nowakdental.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Nowak Dental Supplies&lt;/a&gt; booth during &lt;a href="https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Lab Day Chicago&lt;/a&gt; and tell them you are a &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/4141108352651184" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;fan of the podcast&lt;/a&gt; to get a special sticker only for the fans.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;100 years ago a company started making denture teeth. Now Ivoclar is known for some of the best products and equipment for both labs and clinical offices. To celebrate their century of helping us make restorations, they are going all out at this year’s LMT Lab Day Chicago. Laura Gilbert, their North America Marketing Director, comes on to talk about &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt; and what they have planned in their Grand Ballroom A&amp;amp;B. It’s going to be the place to be! Joining Laura, and also in Chicago, is Dr. David Rice. Dr. Rice founded a group called &lt;a href="https://ignitedds.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;IgniteDDS&lt;/a&gt; that helps newly graduated dentist succeed after school. He sits in the hot seat to answer some common questions labs have for dental offices and how we can approve our relationships. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://lmtmag.com/ivoclar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Sign up to see all of the speakers during Lab Day Chicago 2023!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The new &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-equipment/prograscan-ps5-and-ps3-laborscanner" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;PrograScan PS3 and PS5&lt;/a&gt; provide true-to-detail, high-resolution and accurate scans for coordinated digital workflows that are precise, fast, and always accurate.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The PS3 and PS5 are powered by the popular and intuitive DentalCAD software from &lt;a href="https://exocad.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Exocad&lt;/a&gt;.  Whether you are looking for your first scanner, to upgrade or add to your existing scanners, the PrograScan may be the one for you.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Reach out to your friendly &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt; sales representative to select a scanner that matches the needs of your lab Today and tell them you heard about it on the podcast!&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Does your lab use Magic Touch? If not, you should think about switching just so you can use &lt;a href="https://icortica.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;icortica&lt;/a&gt;. 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 &lt;a href="https://icortica.com/voices-from-the-bench/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;icortica.com/voices&lt;/a&gt; to learn more or send an email to Rob Nazzal at &lt;a href="mailto:rob@icortica.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;rob@icortica.com&lt;/a&gt; and tell him you heard about it on Voices From the Bench!&lt;/h3&gt;
