Normalizing Change: How a Small Family Lab Became a European Benchmark

Course overview

This lecture shares the story of Byrnes Dental, a small UK family lab of three that grew to become a national leader and is now part of Corus, Europe's leading digital dentistry lab DSO. It explores how scale, innovation, and people-first leadership has transformed a local business into an industry influencer. In the European market, where change adoption is often more conservative and slower than in North America, Byrnes Dental has redefined what's possible by embracing continuous evolution, collaborative workflows, and a culture where change is just a given part of the journey forward. This is the story of one lab's experience into how to lead teams through transformation, balance artistry with automation, and set new standards of excellence. Comparing EU and US dental markets, this session highlights the shared opportunities and the unique challenges of building a future-focused lab business in a rapidly digitalizing world.
