After partnering up with companies like GC America (https://www.gc.dental/america/) and Straumann (https://www.straumann...

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...
