Confessions of a Digital Designer | Humpday Happy Hour™ with Luke Horowitz
Send us Fan Mail Digital dentistry has transformed the way clinicians and laboratories work together—but effective communication is still the key to predictable outcomes. This week on Humpday Happy Hour™, Dr. Jeff Horowitz welcomes a very special guest—his son, Luke Horowitz—for a behind-the-scenes look at the world of digital design and laboratory communication. Drawing from his experience as a digital designer, Luke shares valuable insights into what dental labs need from clinicians to create successful restorations and how stronger communication can improve efficiency, reduce remakes, and enhance patient care. In this episode, we discuss common communication pitfalls between practices and labs, how digital workflows have changed the restorative process, and the details that can make the difference between a good case and a great one. Whether you're sending intraoral scans, planning complex restorations, or simply looking to strengthen your relationship with your lab, this conversation offers practical takeaways for every dentist embracing digital dentistry. Join us as we explore what your lab wishes every clinician knew—and how better collaboration leads to better outcomes.
