Episode 85: Denture Dan & The Twins: Dan Elfring, Elise Holasek, and Anita Cranford at the Whip Mix Digital Forum

Barb got held up at her lab over the weekend, Elvis is solo on this one. While at the Eastern Conference of Dental Laboratories Elvis took a break from speaking and recording to bring two conversations he got while at the Whip Mix Digital Forum back in early October. First up is the man, Denture Dan Elfring. He sits down to talk about his start back in the Air Force, working in a in-office laboratory, and being a SUPER Master CDT. Then Elvis is joined by the only identical twin laboratory owners Elise Holasek and Anita Cranford, both CDTs, who co-own a lab but their story on how they get into the industry is not a common one.

Unsure of how to start? Worried about being FDA compliant? Why not use a already trusted company to be your partner. Whip Mix has put together a system that consists of a validated process using Dentca resins, which are the first FDA-cleared printed denture materials, an Asiga 3D printer and the UViTRON UV curing light. Using these 3 elements together is fast, easy, and assures the dentist and the patient of a reliably predictable fit.Special Guests: Anita Cranford CDT and Elise Holasek CDT and Dan Elfring CDT.
