Positioning Laboratories to Meet the Future
Another point laboratories should consider is the coming labor shortage within the dental laboratory industry. Studies show that as many as 35% of laboratory technicians plan to retire in less than ten years. As the talent pool of technicians begins to shrink, ever-increasing demands will be placed on laboratories to provide both speed and accuracy.
For laboratories, the key to unlocking the challenges of a post-boomer workforce will be technology. Until now, laboratories had to make the choice between increasing output and sacrificing quality. Or enhancing quality while sacrificing their output. With iTero, no sacrifices need to be made.
Laboratories utilizing iTero will find they are poised to meet the challenges of modern dentistry, and grow and prosper in coming years. Increasing output, decreasing remakes, and building strong, profitable relationships. All while providing a superior restorative product.
