Voices from The BenchSwirling in a Vortex of Clinic and Lab with Dr. Danny DomingueUsually, dental technicians frown upon dentists that do their own work. I mean, we get it, but we still want to do the work for you. But some dentists go as far as turning it into a 15 person lab doing work for other dentists. That we can get behind, because at that point they are creating careers for dental technicians. Dr. Donny Domingue followed an uncle to become a dentist. Wanting to do more with implants, he did a residency in New York that allowed him to place many. Once he found his home again in Lafayette, LA, Dr...

Voices from The BenchEducating the Future of Digital Dentures with Dr. Wendy ClarkBe sure to come see us in the Ivoclar Ballroom during LMT Lab Day Chicago 2024. Register today!
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. But getting to talk to a clinician that LOVES and APPRECIATES lab work is even better. Dr. Wendy Clark is an Associate Professor of Prosthodontics at UNC Adams School of Dentistry. You would think since she is a professor, she would only teach analog ways. This is so not true. Dr. Clark is...
