Milling My First Cerec Crown

Hello friends! I milled my very first Cerec crown yesterday, and it was a beaut. The whole process was pretty simple considering how complex the technology is. I took the crown I designed last week and touched it up a bit and then electronically sent the file to the milling machine. The whole milling process only took about 13 min. I was going to take pictures, but the milling machine uses so much water that they weren't turning out very well. So I took a short video of the milling… Still a lot of water, but I think you can see how it works a little better. Have a great week! Enjoy! And Happy Thursday!
