101 Digital Milling Options for Dental Professionals

Today we have Shay with us again for another episode, and we chat about milling experiences and opportunities that you can take advantage of for your dental practice. Tony, Darren, and Donny also join us to talk about his experience with different types of dental mills.

Sully’s practice currently has three mills a wet, a wet/dry, and a prime mill. He is presently milling Zirconia in less than five minutes with his prime mill. Because he can create milled items quickly, Sully can do his patient procedures all in-house in the same visit. In addition, he can touch test the block before restoration, which is beneficial for a good fit.

Tony started with the older E4D mill in 2009 and made an effort to learn how to use the mill effectively. He is using a scanner to create Invisalign products using itero. In addition to itero, they also use trios for same-day products.

Dr. Don Murry is a 2010 graduate who is making waves in dentistry.

He talks about his milling journey, starting with a cone beam in 2012. He is currently puck milling at his office to create full-arch products with Zirconia.

Learn what new milling processes are available, how easy or hard they are to use, and how you can get your hands on a digital mill to create same-day dental appliances.
