DESS is Back for LMT LAB Day Chicago 2026
Chicago Lab Day is one of the most important events of the year for our industry, and it is always one of my favorites. It gives us the chance to connect face to face with the technicians and lab owners who make modern dentistry possible. This year, our team is excited to be back and even more excited to show how DESS is helping labs work smarter, faster, and more profitably.
Every conversation I have with a lab comes back to a few core priorities. You want efficiency. You want consistency. You want fewer remakes and less friction in production. And you want solutions that help you grow without increasing complexity or cost.
That is exactly what DESS is built to deliver.
At DESS, we focus on precision, compatibility, and workflow efficiency. Our products are engineered to fit right the first time, across 25+ implant systems, so your team can move confidently from design to production without surprises..
What does that mean in practice?
It means smoother production.
It means faster turnaround.
It means fewer remakes and less wasted labor.
It means a more predictable, scalable operation.
At Lab Day, we will be spotlighting the solutions that support those goals and help labs build a more efficient digital future.
Premills
Premilled blanks are one of the most powerful ways a lab can control quality while increasing efficiency. DESS Premills are designed for accuracy, consistency, and seamless integration into your existing workflow.
Our Angulated Screw Channel Premills are available in 8 connections, giving you flexibility across systems while maintaining the same reliable process: Astra EV, BioHorizons Internal Hex, Neodent GM, Nobel Active CC, Osstem Hiossen, Straumann BLX, Straumann Bone Level, and ZimVie Screw Vent. With consistent geometry and tight tolerances, ASC Blanks help reduce adjustments and remakes, allowing your team to produce restorations with confidence.
To celebrate Lab Day, we are running an exclusive show special on ASC Blanks:
Spend $400 on ASC Blanks and get 20% off your total order.
It is a simple way to experience the quality and efficiency of DESS Premills while adding immediate value to your production.
The DESS PNP Workflow
The DESS Plug and Play workflow (PNP) is built for modern digital labs. It removes friction from the process by providing FDA cleared, validated components that work seamlessly across platforms.
With PNP, you gain a predictable path from scan to final restoration. Libraries, components, and connections are designed to work together, reducing guesswork and eliminating unnecessary steps. Your team spends less time troubleshooting and more time producing.
For growing labs, PNP also supports standardization. It allows you to scale production, train teams faster, and maintain consistency across locations and technicians.
The DESS Digital Workflow
Digital success depends on more than just software. It depends on how well every piece of the process connects. DESS supports labs with complete digital solutions, including libraries, scan bodies, digital analogs, and premill options that integrate directly into your CAD CAM environment.
The result is a smoother handoff from design to production and a workflow that feels intentional rather than patched together. Every component is designed to work in harmony so your team can focus on quality and throughput.
Together, Premills, PNP, and our digital workflow create a foundation for efficient, scalable lab production.
See You There!
If you are attending Chicago Lab Day, I would love the opportunity to meet you and learn more about your lab. Whether you are focused on improving margins, reducing remakes, or building a more scalable digital workflow, our team is ready to help. Contact us to Schedule a Meeting!
Stop by Booth # A-15 in the East Exhibit Hall to see how DESS can help your lab move faster, work smarter, and deliver consistent quality across every case.
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago.
