Show Notes

Like it or not, 3D printing is on its way and milling may soon be a thing of the past. But right now, is it sustainable? Is it realistic?

In this episode, Dr. Sully discusses what printing crowns looks like, what the costs are, what problems it solves, and the pros and cons of implementing a system now. Ultimately, it’s about leveraging technology to grow your business. Can this new technology do that? Dr. Sully is cautious but optimistic about this big topic of conversation in the industry.
