Great video Dr. Klim! The concept of self reliance is truly why I got into chairside dentistry.

You are an amazing Educator Clinician! What is the ffs advising company? I love the whole suite of CEREC to Primeprint. I love your videos the MIYO stain/glaze videos are priceless. The CS6 rocks at 11:20 min for emax. I cannot practice without my Cerec Suite. Thank you for all that you do!❤❤️😊

Hi Dr Klim, I also have been practicing for over 40 years and still passionate about Dentistry. Thank you for all your contributions! Is there a link to your courses that you offer. Thanks again !

I agree with you 100% on the 'self reliance' issue. Almost every successful businessman or coach out there preaches delegation. I learned the hard way that good dentistry is all about self-reliance. Good dentistry results from the bond you develop with your patient/client. When patients know that the level of care you provide and the quality of your work stems from self reliance; that you have invested time/skill/capital and passion in what you offer then they would come around to appreciate it. Self reliance is often confused with micromanagement. This misconception is utilised and feasted upon by the powers that be to drive young clinicians world wide to adopt a copy & paste way of doing things under the slogans of; faster, more profitable, lighter, brighter and smarter...etc

Your presentation challenges the mainstream 'McDonald's formula' where the doctor/patient relationship has been sadly reduced to a service provider and a 'number' waiting to receive their next order. Again, you have made a (conscious decision) to do dentistry the way you see best for you, your family and your patients. You are a great source of inspiration to me and to many others out there. Please keep doing what you are doing. BW.

For same day, 1 to 3 units, nothing beats cerec. Once you get bigger cerec does have limitations. However it’s a great tool for bread and butter work

Would love to hear your FFS journey! Im prepping my team right now to drop one of the handful PPOs we are involved wtih. Definitely takes some time and preparation to do it right

0:45 are the best looking margins on a cerec crown I've seen. Most of the ones I see are absolutely horrible. Very impressive.

James, once again an amazing video. Does your PM7 give you the ability to fabricate no prep veneers?

[adelekemowobi]

In your opinion, if you were starting out and thinking about opening a practice would you still go with the primescan? Its great, but its a couple years old now and as you said, its a closed system. Have you looked at the new offerings from iTero? Additionally, I do like the versatility of the MCXL and would love to go with the primemill, but again it is a closed system. This is from someone who isn't currently locked into the CEREC walled garden and have that 5 axis milling capability. Your response would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dr. Klim,

I am interested in learning about how to have a practice without contracting with insurance companies. I’m planning on starting at the end of 2025 beginning of 2026 and I’d like to take the plunge from the very beginning.

Please let me know. I love your videos and your approach.

Thank you,

Jose.

Dr Klim, I appreciate all the sharing and effort connecting us to the CAD/CAM possibilities. I am looking to do more. I desire to dive into exoCAD and 3D printing. I am open to the investment beyond the CEREC systems. Do you have a recommendation in starting the journey with exoCAD?

[florinpetrea]

Hi! I have an Omnicam 2.0 and how unlocked the in lab, because I forgot the password ?
How to send a laboratory but in STL ?
Scanning the full dental arch, if we have areas with errors, how to block what’s good and scanning again without scanning again those areas market scanned? Great jobs!

[CodyKriegel]

I'm opening my new office and currently have been using Primescan, Primemill, and an MCXL. I plan to purchase another MCXL as they are workhorses and a lower investment. However, I was planning on getting inLab to keep everything in the Cerec workflow...now with DS Core being amazing and allowing for a much easier time with an open system I have considered Exocad over inLab. Would you have a recommendation on inLab vs Exocad if I am running Primescan, DS mills, and an Axeos CBCT? Is it easier to stay in the DS workflow with inLab or just as easy to go with Exocad? Thank you, love your videos and perspectives so so much!!

[richardbermanoffice]

How do you get scans from the Primescan into the PM7. Can Cerec software mill to PM7 directly or do you need to use exocad for design and milling on PM7?

[AustinVetter]

So you mention you mill on the MCXL because of the smaller bur. However doesn’t your PM7 have an even smaller bur? So why mill on the Cerec system at all if you have a mill that always mills in extra fine mode + even more because of the 5-axis and the smaller tool?

I tried to search and saw Cerec has a .6 so can’t it use that bur?
