Dr. Giacobbi: "Hey doc, have you got a minute to catch up with Dr Katie Tonkin of upstate New York? Katie, tell me about your experience with Kuraray's zirconia."
Dr. Tonkin: "I'm a new CEREC user, so for the last few years, we've developed our practice as a chairside crown and bridge practice. We've used Kuraray's products for the last nine months or so, and just the efficiency and ease of use, as well as aesthetics, have really elevated our level of care."
Giacobbi: "And this Katana zirconia has a speed version. How speedy is speed?"
Tonkin: "You won't believe how quick it is. It's changing how we schedule our patients. It's changing how our patients interact with the rest of the staff and how efficient and productive we can be as a group. Also, it's unmatched with its shade differentiation and ability to match the rest of the dentition -- something that every CEREC user should be incorporating into their practice."
Giacobbi: "What else excites you about CEREC dentistry?"
Tonkin: The limits, you know, doesn't exist with where we're going to be able to go in the future. In the future. I'm really excited about the implant blocks that Kuraray is bringing to us in the future, and we're going to have a lot of fun doing things with zirconia and implants."
Giacobbi: "Awesome. Katie, thanks for your time."
