Send us Fan Mail If you've never heard from Dr. Justin Chi, then you're in for a treat. This incredible clinician is 'the man behind the scenes' at Glidewell Laboratories. He is also a former dental technician. We've learned so much from Dr. Justin Chi and we hope you will too! About Dr. Chi: Justin received his Bachelor of Science degree in dental laboratory technology from the LSU School of Dentistry, and earned his CDT in crown and bridge in 2007. After undergrad, he moved to Dallas, TX and began operating a dental lab out of his apartment and also worked as a CAD/CAM trainer at D4D Technologies.

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.
