These are worth your time and money. Always free. Always 6-8ish pm. Always open to all (doctors, associates, assistants, CEREC owners and not-now-but-really-should-be-CEREC-owners). Always with 3 CEs. Always with dinner. Always hoping you’ll RSVP so I can order enough food.
San Francisco Clubs (490 Post, Suite 301)
TUES, FEB 15… Virtually place CEREC implant on 3D conebeam scan. We’ll have our first intrepid patient Tony back (to prove he survived) and show the three unit bridge we’re replacing with two crowns and an implant, all CEREC, all documented for you. We’ll also design the surgical guide for the upcoming implant.
WEDS, MAR 16… Davy Jones (ex-Monkey, current practice consultant) will give real use-it-today tips for growing your practice. I’ll also show a variety of cases: some good, some bad, some ugly!
THURS, APR 14… Learn to stain like a pro from a pro! Master Ceramist Eddie Corrales (www.downtowndentaldesigns.com) will show his tips and answer questions on all things CEREC and aesthetic. We’ll also bring out our next semi-willing patient for a conebeam scan and implant planning. As a group we’ll look at the scan and collaborate on implant placement scenarios.
MON, MAY 16… Quadrants and speed design. My list has grown to 30 Most Common reasons you’re CERECing too slowly. I’ll review each reason with a case or two and pass out the list. (Yes, I’m lazily copying my Sunnyvale program this month.)
TUES, JUNE 14… See the new 4.0 software, or the beta version I plan to steal. Multiple unit simultaneous design, bridges, lateral excursion, slow-release botox… I’ll show you what I know (making this a 5 minute program!).
WEDS, JULY 13… We should be getting pretty good at implant cases by now. I’ll find something good---and I take suggestions if you have any!

Sunnyvale Study Clubs, first half of 2011
These are worth your time and money. Always free. Always 6-8ish pm. Always open to all (doctors, associates, assistants, CEREC owners and not-now-but-really-should-be-CEREC-owners). Always with 3 CEs. Always with dinner. Always hoping you’ll RSVP so I can order enough food.
Sunnyvale, at Patterson Branch (333 Soquel Way)
WEDS, FEB 16… Anteriors! I’ll show the new tricks with 3.8 and crowns v. veneers, multiple units, ghosting the correlate, implants, and anything else I can steal from your collective cases. I’ll also have the new integrated shade guide—zap the neighboring tooth to get the right shade and the block placement software will select the shade and dance it into the proper position (or so I’m told…).
THURS, MAR 17 (St. Patrick’s Day)… Show your Irish, bring a green-stained CEREC, and learn how to make some green cash. After I answer any and all CEREC questions and review a few cases, Davy Jones (not from the Monkeys) an practice management consultant with 25 years’ experience, will spend an hour talking about how to grow your practice in this recovering economy.
WEDS, APR 13… Stain and Glaze tips with Eddie Corrales (www.downtowndentaldesigns.com), a CEREC Alpha Tester (and Alpha Male), San Diego master ceramist, and genuine friend to CEREC doctors venturing into large cases. He’ll also take any CEREC design or materials question you can think of. This IS NOT a hands-on class. That’s on Friday…
TUES, MAY 17… Quadrants and speed design. My list has grown to 30 Most Common reasons you’re CERECing too slowly. I’ll review each reason with a case or two and pass out the list. (Hint: first 29 reasons are the prep!)
MON, JUNE 13… The new 4.0 software should be out, or I should have stolen a beta copy by now. See designing multiple units at once (skip the virtual seat part), bridges, adjusting for excursive motion as well as the centric bite, and the new just-take-my-handpiece-and-prep-it-for-me feature.

Belated Introduction
If you're here it's not by accident and you have a guess who I am (you're wrong!) and what I do (something CEREC-ish). If somebody referred you to this site, you've been given a load of bad advice and you should go to www.cereconline.com and talk to the official people at Sirona USA. They won't admit to any software errors or share any good information with you, but they will do so in a much more professional manner.
I created this blog partly to post study club information "FOR MY FRIEND" (not me, I don't attend or host them) and to vent some humor now and again. Feel free to comment and if you're having any CEREC or personal issues, send me an email and I'll do my best not to make things worse.
Enjoy!
