Even if\u00a0 you aren’t doing Cerec (90% aren’t) this type of article needs to stimulate your thinking for how you can be different to your prospective patients related to aspects of speed and convenience based dentistry.\u00a0 It’s that kind of thinking differently that divides practices who stay independent and those who get further commoditized.
