Cosmetic Dental Design (CDD) has officially joined the international community of dental laboratories with PIC systems following their completion of a [5-day PIC pro training](https://www.picdental.com/pic-pro?hsLang=en). Founded in 2005, CDD has consistently pursued a vision to offer the dental industry a boutique, aesthetically focused lab that prioritizes digital dentistry. Initially established as a crown and bridge laboratory, CDD has since evolved into a full-service dental laboratory. Demonstrating their commitment to innovation, they were among the first in Australia to adopt intraoral scanners in 2010.

 Operating a dental laboratory presents unique challenges, particularly when dealing with non-local clients working on All-On-4 restorations. Additionally, the laboratory struggled with aligning various scans with the provided impressions from the clinics. Michael McGrath, DT, the lab's director, highlighted that the most significant hurdle was establishing a reliable impression-taking technique that could be consistently translated to final prostheses. Issues with vertical dimensions further complicated the workflow, prompting the search for a more effective system.

#### “PIC was the obvious choice.”

 For McGrath, the decision to integrate the [PIC system](https://www.picdental.com/pic-system?hsLang=en) into their workflow was clear-cut. It bridged the gap between the laboratory and the clinical surgeries, allowing for immediate receiving of files rather than enduring a six to seven-hour wait post-surgery. This improvement means that patients receive their temporaries quicker, and the laboratory can operate on a more regular schedule without the need for late-night or early morning work sessions.

The [PIC system](https://www.picdental.com/pic-system?hsLang=en) also simplified the process of transforming temporaries to final prostheses, which had been a significant pain point. McGrath's team was already equipped with tools that complemented the PIC system, facilitating a seamless digital workflow.

#### “The ease of the use of the PIC is the thing that made me most excited.”

 McGrath is particularly enthusiastic about the ease of use of the [PIC system](https://www.picdental.com/pic-system?hsLang=en), noting that it stands out in an industry where many dental products come with a steep learning curve and complex training. McGrath is also thrilled about the collaboration opportunities the[ PIC system](https://www.picdental.com/pic-system?hsLang=en) enables. Dental assistants and other clinical staff can now work more effectively alongside surgeons, enhancing the overall workflow and ensuring high accuracy and quality in the results.

#### “We'll be able to provide high-accuracy, high-quality results.”

 McGrath believes that the[ PIC system](https://www.picdental.com/pic-system?hsLang=en) will provide a streamlined workflow for their laboratory. The ability to deliver high-quality, precise results in a more efficient manner positions CDD to better serve their clients and meet the demands of modern dental laboratories.

The incorporation of the [PIC system](https://www.picdental.com/pic-system?hsLang=en) has fully addressed the critical challenges faced by the CDD. It also paved the way for a more efficient and collaborative working environment within the lab itself and between lab and clinics.
