Looking forward to 2016 with Bayou State

We want to thank everyone for helping make 2015 an amazing year for us here at Bayou State. We also want to inform you of a few things you can look forward to from us in 2016.

First, we have become Premier Sponsors with the Louisiana Dental Association (LDA). We really wanted to help support your local dental association, which we feel is very important to our industry. As Premier Sponsors, we will have more of a presence at the LDA meetings. And, as a result, we will have firsthand information about these meeting if should you have any questions about the meetings.

We will also be launching a new website designed to help get information to keep you informed, and to make it easier for you to obtain the things you may need from us like prescription pads and lab bags. We are also exploring the possibility of having have CE videos or links to CE available on our site as well. Of course, we will continue to offer quality CE courses at our lab. Because, we believe growing through education is very important, especially in this rapidly changing industry.

We will also be adding some new products and services here at Bayou State, we will keep all of you informed on when these new products and services become available. 

Lastly, we will continue to strive to improve ourselves as technicians, and as a lab, so that we can continue to help you provide the highest quality dental restorations to your patients. We can’t stress enough how thankful we are that you continue to give us the opportunity to earn your business. 

Sincerely,

Darius Hall, CDT

2015 Review

Here at Bayou State, we support not only advancing our own education but our clients' as well. This year we were able to host 3 CE events and to sponsor another event held by the LDA. Early in the year, here in our laboratory, we hosted the VITA shade mastering course, which covered proper shade taking techniques in the office. Mid-year we hosted a course at Juban's Restaurant on how to boost a patient referral system. In October, we hosted with our good friends at 3M an in-house course, Prepare to Impress, covering proper prep and impression techniques. This month we also helped sponsor the LDA Last Chance Seminar, and we will be co-sponsors of Pattersons Cerec event in New Orleans. 

                                                 

Education is a big part of what we care about here, but we also enjoy a little fun as well. That's why we were sponsors of the LDA fishing rodeo in Grand Isle, LA. Also, with the support of Nobel Biocare, we were able to offer a free golf event to our clients. Speaking of fun, we also gave away an all inclusive travel package to the Alabama vs LSU game in Birmingham!

This year wasn't just a big year for our courses; we also made a lot of changes in the lab. We added new CAD/CAM systems, like Projet 3d printers and Geomagic print, 5axis dental mills, MCXL mills just to name a few, to help produce the highest quality restorations possible. Plus, we are now a Cerec support lab, having completed extensive Sirona and Cerec training so that we can assist you.

2015 has been such a wonderful year, and again, we owe it all to our amazing clients. We have some big things coming up in 2016, so keep checking back with us here or on our Facebook page for more info. Thanks again and Happy Holidays from all of us here at Bayou State Crown and Bridge Lab.
