How Our Lab Technician Improves Implant Results

In this video, John Barnes, our lab tech, shares why he trusts Dr. Ellis for implant work and highlights the skill and communication that set him apart.

I’ve worked with many dentists over the years, but I chose to go to Dr. Robert Ellis. I’ve had seven implants placed, and with that kind of work, communication between the dentist and the dental technician is critical to getting the best results for the patient.

I trust Dr. Ellis because he’s meticulous, skilled, and committed to doing the job right. If an issue ever comes up, he addresses it, but most of the time everything goes smoothly. As someone who works with many doctors across different labs, I can say Dr. Ellis consistently delivers excellent results, and that’s why I go to him.
