  • 346: Easing the Pain of Case Entry with Randy Berry & Jessica Wallen
    Nov 11 2024
    Many labs outsource something. Designs, milling, or printing to ease the workflow and be able to do more work efficiently. But what about case entry and billing? Sometimes people put their best employees in those departments to make sure everything comes in correctly and more importantly gets invoices correctly. But it's never anything that a lab could outsource... until now. This week we meet Randy Berry and Jessica Wallen who says they can handle all of our incoming and outgoing work for a fraction of the cost of what you pay someone to do it. Randy and Jessica worked in a lab and struggled with case entry. Even in their smallish lab. Randy has run many large labs and saw that no matter what size, this was a bottleneck in any lab. It was Jessica that said there should be a better way. They started Certaineed Consulting (https://www.certainteed-consulting.com/), where they have a team of remote people that will do everything you are currently doing with your incoming and outgoing work. They talk about where the idea came from, how they set it up for each individual labs, how they overcame all the questions you have about it, and how it can help you find more technicians that are already in your lab. Listen to John Wilson from Sunrise Dental Lab (https://www.sunrisedentallaboratory.com/index.php) and take your own lab to the next level by getting in on some of Ivoclar's End of the Year deals (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/campaigns/ivoclar-equipment-promotions-2024?utm_source=website&utm_medium=content_tile&utm_campaign=equipment_promo) on equipment.

This super elite club is only for the best of the best Photogrammetry is not new to dental. Years ago Kamil Zborowski brought the first units to the United States and even that first case worked perfectly. Growing up in labs, Kamil got into technology very early and was fascinated by the workflow. Not knowing removables, photogrammetry was his entrance to full arch implant workflows. Kamil comes on to talk about the history of the cameras starting with PIC (https://www.picdental.com/) and iCAM (https://imetric4d.com/), how and why the system works, integrating it with your 3shape (https://www.3shape.com/en) or exocad (https://exocad.com/), and how to go about getting into getting your own camera. Kamil now owns WTI Dental Concepts (https://wtidental.com/) and can help any lab or practice make the move to a more digital workflow.

If there is one dental lab in the United States that probably every single dentist in the US has heard of (and probably used at least once), it's Glidewell Dental Labs (https://glidewelldental.com/) in Newport Beach, California. For over 50 years, it has been run by the guy with his name on the building, but about 3 years ago, a new CEO was announced and everyone said Stephenie who? This week we get to know Stephenie Goddard and her history with Glidewell. Starting 18 years ago to run their HR department, she has seen Glidewell go from 1,100 employees to 5,000. She has seen the technology explode and the industry changing Bruxzir enter the field. Just wait until she talks about how she found out that she was going to be the CEO. Stephenie talks about the importance of culture, leadership training, and making sure she doesn't spend too much time "sweating the small stuff".
