310: Enhancing Analog with Digital and Artistry with Aleksandra Polczynski

March 04, 2024 11:00 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MB

Aleksandra Polczynski is an artist. Without even knowing what a dental technician was, she met and married a Master Dental Technician. The lab he worked at offered her a job after looking at some of her drawings. From there a passion and a career was born. She nailed her first few wax ups and was soon a ceramist. After partnering up with companies like GC America (https://www.gc.dental/america/) and Straumann (https://www.straumann.com/us/en/dental-professionals.html), Aleksandra was soon tea...

We are all back from Lab Day and very tired.... but yet we are still all going to the bench because the work never stops. THANK YOU Ivoclar, for hosting us over the weekend! This week we get to meet John Rano. John's dad was a dental technician, so it only made sense that John would end up in the family business. At the age of 14, John started learning what he could. By 18, he was doing conversions. But John wanted more. So after working at another lab and learning even more, John opened Un...

It's always good, as technicians, to get a clinical perspective of all the work we do. Let's be honest, without the clinical side.... We wouldn't have work.

299: The Netflix of Digital Dentistry with Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny and iDD

December 18, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MB

We love talking to dentist on the podcast. We also love talking to people from different countries. This week we double down on both as we chat with Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny who comes to us all the way from New Zealand. Dr. Ahmad grew up with dentist parents that both owned their own practices. After graduating, he ended up at his father’s practice where he was introduced to digital dentistry.

298: Turning Bad Experiences Into Good with Sam Talassinos and XYZ Dental

December 11, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 62.2 MB

We talk to many vendors and milling centers on the podcast. But never have we talked to a company in Australia that does both. Sam Talassinos grew up in his father’s lab and never wanted to be in the industry. After a brief time in retail, Sam found himself in the lab (of course) and introducing digital to their workflow. It took a bad experience while getting some new equipment that drove him to open XYZ Dental (https://xyzdental.com.au/), offering milling services and equipment to other la...

November 27, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 65.7 MB

When someone in the industry seems to spend more time teaching others than working on their own work, we want to learn more.

Of course, we had to have her on the podcast to learn about the technician behind the "fire in the belly". Marina talks about coming to America from the Ukraine to marry and w...

295: Growth Through Solution Based Sales with David Lesh

November 20, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

Getting dental offices to send you work is not the easiest thing to do. If it was, we would all be a lot happier. You could offer your "first crown free" or "$10 off your first order", but what are you doing? Are you creating a lasting partnership or are you getting a doctor that will move to the next lab that offers the same deal. Enter David Lesh. David grew up in his father's lab. After sitting in every seat, David saw the need to create a lab EXCULISVE to doing work for other labs. After ...
