The client: Smile Time Lab
Their industry: Dental lab.
Goals: To transition from traditional physical methods to dental dentistry.
The Mission:
Smile Time are a small lab in London providing traditional physical wax-up models to dental practices. They also specialise in customised implants and cosmetic work. Smile Time also wanted to enhance its prosthodontic offerings for its clients. Because this is highly specialised work and completely bespoke, these jobs need to be incredibly accurate.
They have realised that the traditional way of doing things is no longer viable – both in terms of finances and time restrictions – and are looking to transition into fully digital dentistry.
The Strategy:
Amparo, the lead dentist at Smile Time Lab, needed to start communicating regularly with George – the owner of Smile Wide and a practising dentist himself – to learn how to produce Computer-Aided Designs (CADs).
In order to successfully realise the goal of transforming her service offerings and products into fully digitised ones, she would need to closely follow George’s guidance and tutelage, ask lots of questions(!), and gradually learn how the digital CAD-CAM process worked.
