Dental Technology with Dr. Justin Chi on Humpday Happy Hour™

We had the honor of getting to hang out with the man behind the scenes at Glidewell Laboratories, Dr. Justin Chi. We’ve learned so much from Justin over the past several years, and I hope you will too! Dr. Chi received his Bachelor of Science 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, Texas and began operating a dental lab out of his apartment while working as a CAD/CAM trainer at D4D Technologies. After witnessing the effects that same-day restorations had on dentists and their patients, it sparked his interest in pursuing clinical dentistry. Shortly after graduating from the USC School of Dentistry in 2015, Justin joined Glidewell where he provides guidance and feedback for the R&D, engineering and software teams; supports the lab when new processes or workflows are being implemented; create educational content through the various Glidewell channels; and provide courses and education for all users of the glidewell in-office milling solution. ✨Helpful Links Glidewell Website: https://glidewelldental.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.justinchi/ Timestamps: 4:00 - NEWS ON THE GO™ 9:30 - Guest Intro 13:20 - How to find your passion 18:00 - Deciding to go to dental school 23:00 - Why would a dental lab do something to hurt their business? 31:00 - The value of continued innovation 38:30 - Open source scanners 49:30 - Closing Huge thank you to Q-Optics for making this episode happen! 📺Make sure you subscribe to catch live discussions with the DINKs every Wednesday at 8:30 EST! https://www.youtube.com/@dentistsintheknow 🌟Stay up to date on all the latest dental trends with the DINKs: https://linktr.ee/dentistsintheknow
