From what i've read, this tech has a lot of potential for savings: Instead of a few appointments, a long process, you can do the work in a single appointment. And you also don't need the materials for the temporary crown.
So this is a classic disruptive technology, in a market where people pay out-of-pocket(if not in the US , in many other places). so why haven't this disrupted the old way?
- aquadrop 9y agoHm, maybe exactly because of that? Dentists are reluctant to lose these extra appointments because of extra revenue? :) Don't know how it would affect total traffic though.
- phnofive 9y agoI too have an anecdote involving a recent dental grad who took over a local practice; he removed the cerec machine installed by the previous owner, and not long after I experienced two failures due the low quality of the crowns produced by that machine. Replacing them with traditional crowns did take some time but they fit and feel much better.
