A Resource for Your Reference

In today's competitive dental laboratory market, many businesses differentiate themselves with the solutions and services they provide for their dentist clientele and, ultimately, their patients. Being informed of the newest and greatest innovations to recently emerge in the dental restorative market space is critical to the success and viability of dental laboratories today; however, because so many options are available, laboratory owners and managers need to acquire as much information as possible and determine which solutions can effectively and efficiently become integrated into their laboratory's workflow and material offerings.

There is no doubt that technology provides for the means to accomplish the same or better results your dentist clientele has grown to expect from your laboratory, while providing the laboratory with efficiency and protocols to effectually produce dental restorations at an increased capacity and in less time. Similarly, materials have greatly evolved and we are now utilizing many that were just not available some years ago, with tremendous results. It is imperative for laboratory owners and managers to seize these opportunities and benefit from these materials and technology in order to ensure their laboratory's success and growth, which is why I am so very proud of the Product iNavigator, where you can find all the information you need, in print and online, to make the best and most informed decisions for your dental laboratory. This work was certainly a herculean effort and undertaking, but one that we at IDT felt would serve you considerably and add great value to all dental laboratory professionals. 

My hope is, that you go through these pages and gather valuable information to help you and your laboratory in the most meaningful of ways, and keep the issue in the laboratory as a reference for when questions arise or dentists request advice.
