Only Onlays!
Check out our new class that is all about doing less! That is… less tooth reduction! We will cover varying prep designs and do a lot of hands-on preparations. Owning CEREC is NOT a requirement! We will use them to scan to some degree, but do not worry about that if you are not familiar…
Not a Single Drop!
This case is a great example of using analog and digital dentistry together to make a huge impact in a patient’s life. Duration of this case was 3.5 years as we started the process while keeping the end result in mind. Not a single drop of impression material was used on the restorative side of…
CEREC 4.6 with GC Cerasmart
CEREC 4.6 is being released, and the scans are exceptional. The depth of colors are getting closer and closer to photorealism. The HDR visual mode of 4.6 is really nice for depth. However, the 3D DATA is actually the most important thing because that is what we are milling to! Check out the model and…

Two Teeth for Christmas
We were so happy to finish up this case for this young man. It was many many years in the making for him. He had both teeth knocked out as a child. Both teeth developed ankylosis, and #8 eventually succumbed to external resorption. Both were extracted. After many years of waiting for growth to complete,…
Five Year Recall CEREC and eMax CAD
What you leave behind is really what matters in the long run. eMax CAD has proven to be the “sweet spot” of dental ceramics with it’ excellent esthetics, strength, and longevity. Combine it with CEREC and you have an amazing way to restore teeth: a great material with a great one-visit process. This crown was…
Head-to-Head Demos at the ADA 2017
We took our show on the road and visited the 2017 ADA National Meeting. We were happy to have our great friend, Dr. Lane Barker, assist us with highlighting CEREC cad/cam technology.
