Ep. 797 - The 3D Printer That Could Replace Your Mill24 aug39 min

Has chairside milling finally met its match? For years, milling has been the gold standard for same-day dentistry—but advances in 3D printing and artificial intelligence are challenging everything we thought we knew about single-visit restorations. And I'm talking crowns, bridges, veneers and even replacing stainless steel crowns with esthetic white printed crowns for kids. Could a compact printer sitting on your countertop soon become the most valuable piece of technology in your practice? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Michael Erdos, a general dentist from Brooklyn, New York who works in a busy restorative, cosmetic and implant practice. He talks about how 3D printing is transforming restorative dentistry and what the future looks like.
