Known affectionately as "Jonny Exocad," Jonny's journey is a testament to the power of family, passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in the dental lab industry. Johnny's story begins in a family deeply rooted in dental technology. His uncle, a successful dental lab owner, became a pivotal mentor, inspiring Jonny to dive headfirst into the world of dental technology. From a young age, Johnny was exposed to the world of digital dentistry. One of the standout aspects of Johnny's career is his dedication to education and empowering the next generation of dental technicians. Johnny shares his insights on the versatility of Exocad, emphasizing its ability to create any prosthetic imaginable. His commitment to educating others on using this powerful tool is evident, as he offers training and support to both labs and clinicians, ensuring they can maximize the software's potential.
