In what ways does it create efficiencies and save money?

Equipping a lab to support a fully in-house digital workflow is costly and time-intensive. Building and/or expanding a lab also requires additional facilities/space, rent, insurance, utilities, and staff needed to run additional infrastructure. The steep financial investment and resource burden is a common barrier when entering the digital market. Argen helps labs avoid these issues by serving as an extension of the dental lab with its digital production services.  Argen has prioritized the expansion and optimization of its digital center, investing heavily in talent, technology, and equipment. Argen’s manufacturing capabilities enable a high volume of quality products to be produced quickly and affordably. In turn, dental labs benefit from an end-to-end digital workflow while bypassing cost and time barriers typical to labs interested in going digital.

How is quality improved? 

Argen’s broad product selection means dental labs can conveniently source all of their product and service needs through Argen Digital. Argen is the single source for digital dentistry solutions and helps labs remain competitive in the industry, regardless of the lab’s technical capabilities or experience. With Argen’s efficient manufacturing processes, labs receive units in just two business days without the labor, management, inventory, or rework headaches that go along with running your own lab. 

How does this product/service bring the WOW to your customer’s day?

Labs choose Argen for the convenience, accuracy, quality, and efficiency provided by Argen’s San Diego-based state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Labs trust Argen to provide them with the best products at competitive prices and endorse Argen’s dedicated support, dependable service, and fast turnaround times. Additionally, customers appreciate Argen’s commitment to dental labs worldwide and its efforts to be a true digital partner to all labs. 

 

“Choosing the right outsourcing partner is crucial. At my lab, we have mills, printers, and ovens to help us complete our work. However, acquiring new equipment can be costly, and our workload fluctuates each month. Some months are busier than others, while some are slower, yet we still have to make payments on the equipment.

 

This is why I partner with Argen. When we experience an overflow of work, I can send it to Argen and get the cases back in two days. By outsourcing to Argen, you can save money and spend it on a trip with your family.”
