[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 54325, member: 4850"] i'm going to quote you, to address this post point-by-point. remember this is just my viewpoint and it may not be what others think. we have used Heaney, Metoxit, and Talladum Luminesse brand zirconia Hgh translucency discs and in my own opinion - none of them look much different. we've tried a lot of ways to make them better including setting sintering 30deg hotter, tapering the shade, high polishing, it doesnt come out quite like the shade tab but it does come somewhat close. i will be posting pics of some sample anteriors we did, while we were "experimenting" with the ZirkonZahn shading solution. but in another thread. "replacing" layered zirconia - well not in all cases. really depends on the quality of the nut clicking the mouse in your CAD system. if he doesnt take the time to use the tools, you wont see nice full contours. you might get good copings, but not good full contours. it took me 5 years to get "ok" at the 3shape system, to where i can almost independently design my own cases with few to no serious errors. with this background i am now sailing through the Laserdenta system. the skills are transferable and the work often comes out just as good. it takes a lot of skill to get stuff that comes out of the mill the correct way the first time. you might HAVE to pay a big lab a lot of dosh for this.
