This week we welcome back the dynamic duo of digital dentistry, Blake Roney and Patrick Dewey from S.I.N. 360 (https://sin360.us/) (Simplicity • Innovation • Nanotechnology) for a massive deep dive into implants, photogrammetry, and the ever-evolving world of full-arch workflows. Since their last visit in 2022, Blake has gone from new kid on the block to full-blown Exocad (https://exocad.com/) educator, and Patrick breaks down how S.I.N. has doubled down on innovation across implants, CAD/CAM, and photogrammetry. The guys walk us through the new Versalis implant line (https://sin360.us/versalis/), why one connection for all indications is a big deal for labs, and how S.I.N. is pushing efficiencies for high-volume, complex full-arch clinicians. Then comes the star of the show: the MicronMapper (https://sin360.us/micronmapper/)—a lighter, faster, more accurate photogrammetry system that doesn't just capture implants but verifies manufacturing accuracy, scans soft tissue, and reduces surgical guesswork. Blake breaks down real-world accuracy numbers, what RMSE actually means, why intraoral scanners aren't cutting it for full-arch, and how FitCheck is saving labs from misfires, wasted zirconia, and bad days. They also reveal the newest frontier: Tissue Mapper, a photogrammetry-based, scanner-free workflow that pulls bite, tissue, and implant data without fiducials or messy post-op scans. It's nerdy, innovative, and ridiculously cool for the high-volume teams ready to level up. If you love accuracy, numbers, full-arch workflows, or just really good dental tech nerding — this is your episode. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the support you've shown throughout the year. From our Ivoclar family to yours, we wish you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday season.

Our friends at Ivoclar have teamed up with FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/) to bring the Ivotion Denture System (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ivotion) into the HyperDent CAM (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) workflow. That's right—your favorite pre-shaded, two-layer Ivotion discs, the ones that let you design and mill a complete denture in one seamless process with no bonding and no mess, are now moving beyond closed systems. Thanks to this new partnership, Ivotion can finally be milled on open machines through HyperDent. And it gets better: you'll first see this powerful workflow available on the Roland DWX-53 series mills (https://www.rolanddga.com/products/dental/dwx-53d)—already a staple in so many labs—as well as the Imagine iMills (https://www.imagineusa.com/legacy/s/mills/imill). If you've been waiting for a faster, cleaner, more flexible way to produce full dentures, this is it. Ivoclar and FOLLOW-ME! just made the future of denture manufacturing wide open. Get ready—HyperDent is about to change the way you mill Ivotion. Year-end chaos is here. Labs are slammed, deadlines are brutal, and mistakes are not an option. That's when dental technicians rely on the one thing that never quits: https://www.rolanddga.com/applications/dental-cad-cam.

Welcome to another episode of Freedom In Five Minutes! I'm Kevin, team member here at Pro Sulum, and today we're diving deep into the lessons from "The E-Myth Revisited" that business owners STILL fail to grasp in 2025—and it's costing them everything. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The Brutal Reality: With private payrolls dropping 32,000 jobs in November 2025 (led by small business cuts), rising costs crushing operations, and business owners hitting burnout faster than ever, the E-Myth lessons have never been more relevant. Yet most entrepreneurs are STILL making the same fatal mistakes Michael Gerber warned about decades ago. The E-Myth Lessons Still Breaking Businesses:

This week, we sit down with Seth Smith, founder of the rapidly growing lab software company Greatlab.io (https://www.greatlab.io/), and Ryan Alexander from Vitality Dental Arts (https://www.vitalitydentalarts.com/), who's been living the GreatLab life since May and has plenty to say about it. Seth shares the long, winding road from e-commerce to dentistry, to clear aligners, to scanners, and finally to building what he hopes becomes the most modern, integrated, and speed-driven LMS in the industry. He talks workflow obsession, eliminating downloads, killing paper dockets, listening to lab pain points, and why he's visited over 100 labs (and keeps going). Ryan brings the real-world perspective from a 100-tech lab that went through multiple LMS transitions before landing on GreatLab. He explains how their booking teams shrank, inbound calls dropped by 50%, audits disappeared, and technicians suddenly found computers they “didn't have” once the system made their jobs easier. From the CRM that kills phone tag to ScanHub pulling every scanner into one feed, Ryan breaks down exactly what changed on the bench, in customer service, and across production. We also dig into bad scans (yes, 20% of them), doctor communication, automatic file routing, task automation, shipping integrations, data migration fears, and why some labs should not switch systems unless they're truly ready to modernize. If you've ever wondered what a cloud-based, automation-heavy, lab-built-from-the-ground-up LMS looks like—or why another lab described GreatLab as “a Ferrari while everyone else is a Civic”—this episode lays it all out.

Joe shares his family's incredible journey from Hong Kong to Philadelphia, how his parents built a small ortho lab out of a spare room, and how he grew up trimming models on a step stool before eventually returning to the lab after college. He walks us through the evolution of the business—from analog ortho, to adding fixed, to diving head-first into early CAD/CAM. Today, Young Dental is a 26-tech, multi-department full-service lab serving PA, NJ, and DE. Joe talks about the challenges of ortho work in a digital world, the need for wire-bending talent, the rise of aligners, and the struggle of balancing old-school techniques with new-school tech. He also reflects on family legacy, his dad's 45 years as a CDT, and why keeping that generation's knowledge alive matters more than ever. As NADL President, Joe dives into board service, workforce development, collaboration across organizations, and his goal of connecting labs and vendors more effectively. Plus, he gives an honest look at what it's like to step into leadership, find your voice, and leave a legacy for the next wave of techs. Of course, it wouldn't be a VFTB episode without gifts, jokes, accidental innuendo, and a rapid-fire Q&A that reveals Barb's love of tomahawks and Elvis's dream of 88-degree weather.

Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/)—better known as the HyperDent (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) guy. Jordan takes us on a wild ride through the world of CAM software, milling strategies, toolpaths, and the surprisingly fascinating story of how dental CAM even became what it is today. From his early days as a third-generation “dental nepo baby” to running a zirconia milling center with his dad, all the way to helping launch titanium-bar milling on Datron (https://www.datron.com/) D5 machines, Jordan's journey hits every corner of digital dentistry's evolution. He breaks down what CAM actually does in the simplest possible terms (yes, even Elvis-level simple), explains the magic behind toolpaths, tools, post-processors, and how HyperDent “drives the car” for hundreds of different mills. You'll hear how materials get validated, why some ideas labs come up with are physically impossible, and why you should ALWAYS talk to your CAM provider before releasing new materials or components into the world. Jordan also shares a behind-the-scenes look at solving problems like angulated screw channels, milling lithium disilicate pucks, and HyperDent's upcoming work on milled dentures—including Ivoclar's Ivotion processes coming to open CAM. Whether you mill every day or still think CAM is just “putting a crown in a puck,” Jordan demystifies it all with humor, honesty, and more tech insights than we've ever had on the podcast at once. * Dental Labs—The Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Flash Sale Is On! * From November 3rd to 14th, Ivoclar is bringing you unbeatable deals on the equipment that will set your lab up for success in 2026. * Upgrade your mill, your furnace, or expand your workflow—and save big while doing it! * Plus, when you purchase a milling machine (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/product-list?page=1&limit=12&filters=%5B%7B%22id%22%3A%22professions%22%2C%22advancedFilter%22%3Afalse%2C%22values%22%3A%5B%22Lab%22%5D%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A%22categories%22%2C%22advancedFilter%22%3Afalse%2C%22value%22%3A%22Digital%20Equipment%22%7D%5D), you'll get delivery, installation, and training—all included.

LIPPY BROUGHT THIS ARGUMENT TO THE TABLE ON NOVEMBER 5TH… AND WE STILL HAVEN'T LET HIM LAND! “GERRARD WAS GOOD, BUT HE WASN'T TECHNICALLY BRILLIANT.” IN THIS EPISODE, WE DIVE INTO THE STATEMENT, USING EXAMPLES FROM PAST AND PRESENT PLAYERS, WE EXPLORE WHETHER “YOU CAN HAVE TECHNIQUE AND NOT BE A TECHNICIAN!” FROM PREMIER LEAGUE CHAOS MERCHANTS TO ELEGANT BALL MANIPULATORS, WE BREAK DOWN WHAT SEPARATES RAW TECHNIQUE FROM TRUE TECHNICAL MASTERY AND WHY FANS ARE STILL DEBATING GERRARD'S STATUS TODAY. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TECHNIQUE AND BEING A TECHNICIAN?! WHY DID SOME PLAYERS THRIVE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE'S EARLY CHAOTIC ERA WHILE OTHERS STRUGGLED DO YOU THINK GERRARD WAS A TRUE TECHNICIAN, OR JUST A WORLD-CLASS PLAYER WITH GREAT TECHNIQUE? DROP YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS!

Grief, generosity, and grounded choices shape the arc from Sarah's passing to Rivka's arrival at the well—and they also shape our Mondays. We walk through Chayei Sarah as more than history: it's a diary of decisive moments that refuses to preach in bullet points. Instead, the text slows down at each crossroads—buying a burial plot in full view, drawing water for strangers, finding comfort after loss—and lets us learn how courage and kindness look when money, honor, and family are on the line.From there, we tackle a big question: if the goal is to form character, why doesn't the Torah simply command it? Enter Mesilas Yesharim's closing chapters. The Ramchal argues that the mission is constant—bring true satisfaction to the Creator—while the path shifts with your role. A rabbi, an employee, and an independent contractor face different tests, yet each can reach the same center of the maze through integrity, restraint, and presence. We apply this frame to a real-world pivot from the study hall to real estate: taking calls, honoring contracts, resisting the urge to undercut a rival, and finding a focused Mincha in a glass-walled conference room.Along the way we make practical ethics concrete. Choshen Mishpat comes alive when a commission is disputed. Rivka's quiet generosity becomes a checklist for our own small acts. Abraham's transparent purchase becomes a model for clean deals. Even the humblest work holds dignity when done for the sake of family and with clean hands. The takeaway is simple and demanding: the maze changes, the mission doesn't. Wherever you stand—office, train, kitchen, or jobsite—treat it as holy ground by choosing well in the moment in front of you.If this resonated, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who's navigating a transition, and leave a review with one work habit you plan to elevate this week.

Send us a textTired of launching “great ideas” that die in the field? We break down a practical playbook for moving from technician to owner and getting your team to champion marketing initiatives without the eye rolls. The throughline: earn trust, speak with conviction, and keep every rollout simple enough to sell at a kitchen table.We start with buy-in and why it begins with you. If you don't believe in your maintenance plan, financing offer, or private label shift, your team won't either. Hear how to present with clarity, tie benefits to real customer pain points, and use brand-forward names that spark conversations in the home. We share scripts, framing, and the power of storytelling to make a quirky club name feel like a value, not a gimmick.Then we dig into emotional equity. Consistent check-ins, specific praise, and genuine curiosity build the trust that makes price changes, software updates, and social video asks possible. Trust turns mandates into momentum. From there, we attack complexity: pick one high-impact initiative, plan backward from launch, update CRM and collateral, train leaders first, and keep rules clean. We even tackle edge cases—like a promo that starts after a customer buys—and why protecting the brand with simple, generous policies can create outsized goodwill and referrals.By the end, you'll have two guiding rules for every change: lead by example to create buy-in, and simplify so your team can execute under pressure. If coaching and persuasion aren't your strengths, we show you how to surround yourself with people who can carry that torch and lift the whole shop. If this helped you sharpen your next rollout, follow, share with a fellow owner, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.

“You can't fix technician staffing without fixing the replacement plan first—and rightsizing without replacement is just rearranging the deck chairs.” Episode SummaryFleet managers face an ongoing puzzle: should you prioritize asset replacement, rightsize your fleet, or hire more technicians? In this episode, Josh Turley and Marc Canton dive deep into how each of these levers impacts the others—and why trying to solve them in isolation might be the biggest mistake of all.Marc argues that a strong replacement plan is the keystone to improving both righttyping and technician capacity. You'll hear how poor replacement drives reactive maintenance, higher costs, and staffing overload—while proactive planning can improve PM compliance, reduce downtime, and unlock righttyping conversations that lead to major cost savings.The episode also explores how rightsizing (and righttyping) can expose hidden inefficiencies and open the door to smarter technician resource planning. The hosts walk through real-world examples of strategic replacements leading to reductions in spare ratios, better technician alignment, and enhanced fleet availability.Finally, they show how to build compelling data-driven models for stakeholders to weigh tradeoffs across capital spending, operational costs, and technician resources. You'll walk away understanding why doing all three—replacement, rightsizing, and staffing—at the same time is not only possible, but essential for true fleet success. ✅ Key TakeawaysA solid replacement plan is the foundation—it improves availability, reduces reactive maintenance, and helps rightsize your fleet. Righttyping vehicles can reduce technician burden and operating costs, even if asset counts increase. Technician staffing must be based on AU workload—not arbitrary tech-to-vehicle ratios. Use scenario modeling to present stakeholders with capital vs. OPEX trade-offs and drive better decisions. Present options—not ultimatums—to leadership. Blended approaches are more successful than single-threaded strategies. Your goal isn't just better utilization—it's higher availability that enables mission success.

MICRONMAPPER from SIN360: https://sin360.us/micronmapper/ This week we chat with the hilarious and inspiring Will Varda, a second-generation dental technician, lab owner, and president of the Dental Technicians Association of BC. Will takes us on an incredible journey from his father's early days crafting crowns for Iranian royalty — complete with goat-horn hammers and plaster impressions — to the modern world of digital design, milling, and 3D printing. Along the way, he shares stories of growing up in a lab, learning every step the hard way, and how a Facebook study group and a few friends completely changed the course of his career. He also talks about the importance of community in the lab world, the balance between art and obsession, and how the right attitude (and maybe a little wine in a furry purse) can make even the toughest lab days a little brighter. Now leading the charge in his province, Will is bringing technicians together — literally — with the first-ever Dental Boat Cruise, where hhe taught about digital fundamentals through his “recipe for design” approach.

Every service technician can fix things...but not every tech is a true problem solver. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and Jesse Olson break down what problem solving really means in the trades. It's not just diagnosing and repairing — it's about translation, communication, and trust. Too many techs either exaggerate the danger or minimize the value of their work. Both erode trust. Customers don't just want something fixed — they want to understand the problem, the risks, the options, and why your solution is worth it. Chris and Jesse explain why translation (not just explanation) is the technician's most overlooked skill, how to use analogies without cheapening your value, and why presenting clear options helps customers make the right decision without pressure or manipulation. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, this episode will sharpen your communication skills and show you how to go from just fixing problems to building customer confidence for life.

Ed shares how his brother and mentors like Dr. Art Mirelez and Fernando Polanco guided him into the dental field, eventually leading him to help pioneer digital workflows and facially driven design systems such as InstaRisa (https://www.instarisa.com/). With a background in both clinical and lab settings, Ed discusses the evolution of his career — from assisting with surgical guides and imaging to mastering Exocad and teaching offices how to transition from analog to digital dentistry. He explains the importance of facial scanning, photogrammetry, and digital workflow efficiency while emphasizing the human side of adapting to new technology in dental practices. Now running his own training business, Ed helps clinicians integrate digital design and facially driven workflows into their practices, balancing his passion for innovation with a strong appreciation for mentorship and collaboration.

What separates an average technician from one customers love and leaders promote? It's not just technical skill — it's the discipline and soft skills that build trust. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore sits down with Jesse Olson and David Grennel. David shares his personal transformation — losing 70 pounds, reshaping his habits, and sharpening his communication — and how that discipline turned him into a stronger technician and leader. Jesse and Chris highlight why appearance, preparation, and confidence shape customer trust, and how great technicians go beyond fixing problems to become true client delighters, problem solvers, and revenue producers. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical — or you're a manager training the next generation of techs — this episode shows why discipline and soft skills are the difference between being just a “fixer” and becoming unforgettable. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why discipline is the foundation of technician success How appearance and preparation impact customer trust Why customers buy confidence as much as technical skill The Technician Triangle: client delighter, solver, producer How personal growth creates professional opportunities

This week we are joined by Jed Archibald for his first solo interview, and he didn't disappoint. Coming from a family deeply rooted in dentistry, his father worked closely with Dr. Gordon Christensen. Jed has built his own reputation as an innovator. In 2006 he launched Archibald Digital, (https://www.archibalddigital.com/) embracing CAD/CAM at a time when most technicians were skeptical. His philosophy? Don't just ask what digital can do now—ask what it could do. Jed also shared insights on materials, praising the underrated Empress Multi (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-empress-cad)for its beauty and reliability, and highlighting Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us)'s ZirCAD Prime (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-e.max-zircad-prime-family) zirconia for solving problems that plague other multilayer products. Not content with what the market offered, Jed even created his own line of 3D printing resins (https://www.archibalddigital.com/about-6)—including a stone-like model resin and a lavender-infused cast resin that makes a lab smell like a spa. Now, as the new Director of Development at Utah Valley Dental Lab (https://www.utahvalleydentallab.com/), Jed is taking on a role testing new ideas and pushing innovation without disrupting production.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode What does the future of the automotive repair profession look like through the eyes of technicians themselves? Jay Goninan unpacks Wrenchway's annual Voice of Technician survey with 4,700+ responses, revealing a concerning drop in satisfaction, but also a roadmap for improvement. Key Insights: Technician Sentiment: 50% wouldn't recommend their shop, with negativity dominating social media. Career Development: Technicians want visible growth paths, certifications, and new specialized roles like ADAS or EV diagnostics. Compensation: Pay remains the top frustration. Shops need profitability strategies and flexible pay plans (61% prefer hourly/salary with bonus). Culture & Tools: Proper equipment, work-life balance, and intentional team-building are critical to retention. Professionalism: Shifting language from “mechanic” to “specialist/technologist” elevates the industry's perception. Leadership & Communication: Shop owners must ask “why,” listen to technicians, and implement meaningful change. Download: https://wrenchway.com/resources/2025-voice-of-technician/#download-report This isn't just about attracting new talent; it's about creating workplaces where technicians feel valued, respected, and see a future in the industry.
