I spend an hour discussing proper use of the CEREC Omnicam and walk you through CEREC’s software. This video is appropriate for anyone looking to enhance their Omnicam skills, new CEREC owners, and docs that are thinking about getting the technology. Dental assistants would GREATLY benefit from watching this too. All of the topics…

I Guess You Can Be Too Thin: Ti Base Show through Telio/Emax Legacy 2 Pilot Guide case
I always promised to show the good, and not so good cases so here is another “saved by a low biplane case” where the final restoration had some Ti Base show through. As you use CEREC more and get to play with more materials I am finding that I have some “defaults”. Screw retained crowns…

Hot Stuff: Speed Fire Zirconia Abutment and Crown #2 Interactive Implant
Here is my first Zirconia crown in my Speed Fire oven and I have to say I am pretty excited! #2 Implant placed about 6 months ago. We are in the posterior next to some old PFMs so I wasn’t worried about the translucency. In fact I wanted something opaque to match the other opaque…
“Stuck On ME!”
“Stuck On ME!” Dear Dr. Bill: My dental colleague has been boastful and arrogant lately about himself and his dental practice and centers our conversations about his accomplishments and possessions. He described his life as overwhelming and went to see a psychologist who diagnosed him with narcissism. I have a concept of narcissism as self-centeredness,…
“The Cerec Dentist: When Are You Enough?”
“The Cerec Dentist: When Are You Enough?” Dear Dr. Bill: Currently, I use my Cerec for making crowns only and feel “less than” because I don’t use all the functions Cerec and the Galileos allow me to perform (i.e., zirconia, bridges, placing and designing implants, orthodontics, virtual articulator, smile design, etc). In fact, I’m jealous…
Speedy Gonzales: Speed Fire InCoris Abutment/Celtra Duo Legacy Implant case
Well I finally got my Speefire/Wet Dry Mill combo, so here is my first case. I have used InCoris Meso before but never Celtra Duo. And was intrigued my the strength and the fact that I could stain and glaze it and it wasn’t purple. Free hand immediate on a grafted site. Note the change…
Bye Bye Bi: Pre Molar Immediate with CG2, Legacy 2 and Emax Screw Retained Crown
Admit it, that song is stuck in your head now! :} #13 obviously not right for this world. Took a full arch scan and got it into Galileos. Remember as long as the Guide Sleeve and Platform are coronal to the tooth fragment you can do the case without extracting first. Super Easy surgery care…
Glaze for Them, Stain for Us!
While most patients really would choose to have their new restorations look “new,” sometimes our CEREC restorations lack depth. This is a tutorial on the basics of staining and glazing for depth. This will “jazz” up your restorations without making like they need to have restorations themselves. You need to use high…
