depends upon where you are located, if in the states....its your first born and an arm and a leg!
seriously though, they want you to buy their software and scanner. though in other countries you can just buy the software.
its not cheap, and for the handful of Drs using cerec locally, it would take me a decade to recoup the costs associated with becoming cerec connected.
however, i am doing my best to keep an open mind about it....there is a large market share for cerec connect and i dont want to slam the door on that opportunity. i also dont want to debt my life away, so i refuse to throw more monthly payments at it.
