Welcome to Collis Dental Consulting
Expert Dental Consulting
Let’s Keep Them Smiling
With more than forty-five years in the dental industry, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience as both a lab owner and a working technician, with a career built on continually learning, refining, and advancing my craft. I have worked extensively in both traditional analog and modern digital 3D printing workflows, giving me a unique ability to bridge the gap between the two. My consulting services are designed to help removable laboratories and clinicians, whether newly established or long-standing, increase profitability by streamlining workflows, improving lab and office procedures, and developing innovative products to market to lab clients or clinical patients. I provide personalized, on-site training programs carefully tailored to match the experience level of your technicians or dental assistants, ensuring that each course, whether in analog techniques or digital 3D printing, is practical, engaging, and immediately applicable. Every laboratory and clinical office is unique in its size, personnel, layout, workflow, price point, and schedule. I take the time to evaluate your current operations, identify areas for improvement, and create solutions that fit your specific needs. I work closely with you and your staff to implement the changes you choose and remain available for ongoing support to ensure long-term success. For crown and bridge laboratories planning to expand into removable prosthetics, I offer guidance in designing an efficient removable department, selecting and purchasing the right equipment, hiring and training skilled staff, and developing effective marketing strategies to attract both existing and new clients. My technical training programs are a powerful way to expand your team’s capabilities, with one-, two-, or three-week courses available, all of which qualify for continuing education credits. These sessions can be delivered through lectures, demonstrations, or hands-on training, depending on what will benefit your staff the most. Over the decades, I have had the privilege of working alongside many talented professionals who shared their knowledge with me, and now I am committed to giving back by helping others reach their highest potential. Whether you need in-depth training, strategic consulting, or an experienced professional to evaluate new products, I welcome the opportunity to work with you and bring lasting value to your business.
