Meet Our Team of Advisors
Hitec Dental Ceramics is privileged to have the expertise and connections offered by our Board of Advisors.
Scott Emett. Lab Advisor Emeritus
Scott started in the dental lab industry in the late 1970s working as a in-house technician fabricating cases using Pankey-Dawson full mouth rehab techniques. He went on to start his own dental lab and grew it to over $1M in sales while developing new techniques to improve quality and increase productivity. He also started another successful dental lab in the area he grew up in Utah which he currently operates. Due to Scott’s expertise in the field, he now offers in-depth coaching services for dental labs. He also hosts weekly dental lab and dentistry study clubs. He supports Hitec Dental Ceramics on a regular basis with his keen insights and deep industry knowledge. He is our advisor on complex cases and best practices for optimal lab operations. Scott will be assisting on calls for complex and esthetic cases as part of our continued efforts to improve quality and consistency.
