Show Notes

For years we have used CEREC Dental Milling machines and they are excellent. But it is so exciting to get something new in the door. So today, we’re talking all about some new tech in the practice and why the clear choice was a new VHF lab mill. You’ll learn all about some of the challenges we’ve run into with existing technology which you may also relate to and you’ll learn the things we hope to see in alternatives for specific uses. 

CEREC Dental Milling Machines are great for specific things and we’ll be keeping them around, but we discuss the pros and cons, what’s lacking, and what we’re able to do to add efficiency with new machines as well as new software. In the long run, it's not about saving revenue. It’s about driving revenue in.
