I recently had the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at the UCLA Esthetic Residency. What a fun two days it was to be at the university and work with the residents there. The residency is a 2 year program for dentists who want to enhance their knowledge and skill level in the art and science of esthetic dentistry. The program also has 20 ceramists who are attempting to gain their certificate to become Master Dental Ceramists. Dr. Ed Mclaren prepared a patient for veneers, I scanned the patient and imaged him and then all the ceramists had the opportunity to mill out the restorations with the CEREC and finish the case. It amazes me that there are people still out there who say that CEREC is not esthetic. As you can see from the final photos, the end result has nothing to do with the machine, it has everything to do with the artist. My suggestion is to get trained, learn as much as you can and become your own master. Gorgeous results are the norm if you take your time and do your cases properly.
