Group Function: Maximizing Your Digital Dentistry Investment with Dr. Armen Mirzayan and Damien Bonner

The Very Dental Podcast Network

Alan is joined with Dr. Armen Mirzayan and Damien Bonner of CAD-Ray for a second round of discussion on digital dentistry!

• Damien explains a typical progression of someone moving into digital dentistry.
• Companies shouldn't sell digital products to dentists that aren't ready for them.
• Armen is a very cheap salesperson.
• Buy your scanner from someone who knows something about scanners.
• CAD-Ray are terrible sales people but amazing support people.
• Armen on scan bodies
• One very cool thing about digital dentistry is that we can verify accuracy in ways that you can't in analog dentistry.
• Digital margins are tiny enough that we cannot manufacture to the tolerances that we actually see on the digital impression.
• The slop is in manufacturing more than digital scanning
• Photogrammetry and the accuracy of digital scanners over an edentulous scan.
• How to make an accurate scan for full arch implants
• Intraoral photgrammetry with the Shining 3D Aoralscan Elite
• This is going to start making smaller implant cases faster and cheaper!
• Why start a teaching center in Vegas?
