Cynthia Whittington, Manager of Laboratory Excellence at Affordable Dentures & Implants (AD&I), Southeast Region, on AD&I's employee growth initiative
We are focusing on digital dentures and high-quality 3D printing technology. We keep up with the technology and want to provide the best product for our patients.
Twelve years ago, I began my career at Affordable Dentures & Implants, the largest employer of dental laboratory technicians nationwide, and since then the company has helped me develop my talents. AD&I knows that attracting and retaining skilled technicians stem from its positive company culture and valuable incentives, including continuous education courses, growth opportunities, and the latest tools and technology. I believe that outfitting our laboratories with cutting-edge materials and equipment, like the Ivoclar Vivadent's Ivobase Injector, is how to best invest in laboratory technicians.
Why did AD&I outfit all its laboratories with the Ivobase injector?
The dimensional accuracy is superb. This technology delivers a better fit for the denture-wearer while reducing the monomer to 0.7%.
What do laboratory technicians think of this tool?
My technicians love innovation. They are open to it and are always excited to use their innate artistic ability to create a solid product for patients.
What is next for AD&I laboratories?
We are focusing on digital dentures and high-quality 3D printing technology. Scanning delivers a more accurate fit, while better materials create a more durable denture. We keep up with technology and want to provide the best product for our patients.
