How Puche Dental Lab in California Streamlined
Workflows and Reduced Costs with AutoFinish™
INTRODUCTION:
Puche Dental Lab, located in Torrance, California, has
built a reputation from their patient-centric approach
that drives them to create smiles that go beyond
esthetics-they empower individuals to live life fully
and with renewed self-assurance. Led by LJ Bignone,
the lab faced increasing challenges as demand for their
services grew.
The lab, always on the cutting edge of technology and
among one of the first dental labs in the country
to adopt new technology and automate labor intensive
processes, looked for new ways to enhance their
productivity and digital workflow process. Manual
finishing and polishing processes were consuming
valuable technician hours, creating bottlenecks and
driving up labor costs.
THE PROBLEM:
Before implementing AutoFinish™, Puche Dental Lab's
technicians spent hours daily, polishing a variety of
restorations from zirconia crowns to flexible partials and
dentures by hand. This time-intensive process led to:
* Inconsistent results: Variability in manual polishing
sometimes required rework and refining.
* Labor inefficiencies: Highly skilled technicians were
tied up with repetitive tasks, leaving less time for
quality control and higher, more revenue generating
processes that are more business-critical
to the lab's success.
* Scaling challenges: Adding staff to manage the
workload was neither practical nor cost-effective.
" We knew we needed to evolve
our workflows if we wanted to
maintain our quality standards
and meet growing demand "
- LJ Bignone
THE SOLUTION:
Puche Dental Lab invested in the AutoFinish™ Finishing
Machine to automate their finishing and polishing process,
specifically for their zirconia crowns, nightguards and
digital dentures.With virtual training provided by Zahn
Dental, the transition was seamless, allowing their team
to quickly integrate the system into their workflow.
KEY FEATURES THAT MADE THE
DIFFERENCE:
* Automation: Streamlined finishing and polishing tasks,
cutting time spent by 50%.
* Consistency: Delivered predictable, high-quality results
across zirconia crowns and nightguards.
* Efficiency: Freed up technicians for more strategic and
valuable tasks.
THE RESULTS:
* Enhanced Efficiency: By automating the manual finishing
and polishing process, the lab streamlined its workflow,
allowing technicians to focus on higher-value tasks like
quality control and customer service.
* Cost Optimization: Automation reduced the reliance on
labor-intensive processes, helping to lower operating costs
while maximizing the use of existing resources.
* Consistent Quality: The AutoFinish™ system provided
reliable, repeatable results, minimizing variability and
helping to ensure restorations met the highest quality
standards.
* Scalable Operations: With the improved efficiency and
consistency brought by AutoFinish™, the lab is now better
equipped to handle increasing demand without the need
for additional staff or infrastructure.
TESTIMONIAL:
" AutoFinish has been a game-changer
for us. It's allowed our team to focus on
what they do best-delivering exceptional
restorations-while improving our
turnaround times and reducing costs.
I can't imagine asking the team to go
back to manual polishing. "
LJ Bignone, Owner of Puche Dental Lab
CONCLUSION:
For Puche Dental Lab, investing in AutoFinish wasn't just
about solving immediate challenges-it was about future
proofing their business.
With streamlined workflows, reduced costs, and improved
quality, they're now positioned for continued growth in a
