THE BOOK
Built for the lab owner who is done winging it.
"Most dental laboratory books are written for technicians. This one is written for owners — the people who built something worth running and are now trying to figure out how to run it without it running them."
WHO THIS IS FOR
If any of these describe you,
this book was written for you.
-
The owner still in the chair - You built this lab with your hands and your reputation. You're ready to build it into something that doesn't require your constant presence to function.
-
The lab that's outgrowing itself - Revenue is growing but the systems aren't keeping up. Remake rates are creeping. Turnaround times are slipping. You know something needs to change.
-
The DSO-ready lab in progress - Group practice is your growth path. You understand that winning and keeping DSO accounts requires a different kind of operational proof than just great clinical work.
-
The owner planning an exit - Whether the sale is 3 years away or 10, the work of building a sellable lab is identical to the work of building a great one. You want both.
THE BOOK
20 chapters across six parts
PART I
Identity & Positioning
Define your archetype, build your Specialty Stack, and architect your client base — so every account you serve is one worth keeping.
PART II
The Clean Intake System
Eliminate the Communication Tax. Build the prescription architecture, digital intake, and Case Hold Protocol that stop the daily fire drill.
PART III
Digital Infrastructure
Design your hybrid workflow, select and configure your LMS, and build the technology layer your lab actually needs — no more, no less
PART IV
People & Knowledge Architecture
Escape the Hero Tech Trap. Transfer knowledge into systems. Build the org chart that scales — and the training ladder that keeps your best people.
PART V
Financial Operating Systems
Know your true cost per case, fix your pricing architecture, eliminate your remake burden, and build the 13-week cash flow discipline that creates real options.
PART VI
Growth, Scale & Exit
Pursue DSO accounts with confidence. Scale without breaking. And build a lab that's worth owning — whether you plan to sell or not.

WHAT READERS SAY
From lab owners who've been there.
"I've owned this lab for fourteen years and thought I understood the business. The Cost-Per-Case Calculator alone changed how I price — we were underpriced on six of our twelve major case types."
MARK R.
Owner, full-service dental lab · Southwest US
"The DSO Partnership Readiness Assessment was humbling. We thought we were ready. We scored a 24 out of 48. Six months later we scored a 41 and landed our first group practice account."
DIANE K.
Owner, digital specialty lab · Mid-Atlantic
"I handed Part IV to my production manager and told her to run it as a project. Three months later we had twelve SOPs documented, a training ladder, and I hadn't reviewed a prescription in a week."
JAMES T.
Owner, implant & esthetic lab · Pacific Northwest
