Chris Lyons says
“The investment provided by ALS brings with it many advantages in terms of ability to embrace the future of digital dentistry and cutting-edge advanced manufacturing technologies. This will change the way dental products are manufactured and provided, bringing a new level of quality, service and results for dentists all over the UK.
