CEREC® Training:
Scan, Design & Finish Like a Pro
This immersive, hands-on training experience combines CEREC Basic Training with advanced Staining/Glazing Mastery and Zirconia Science Mastery to give doctors a complete, predictable path to same-day dentistry success. Participants will build confidence in the full CEREC workflow from software administration, setup, scanning, optical impressions, model manipulation, and virtual design through milling, manufacturing, and delivery of precise restorations. The course also dives into real-world system performance, including Prime Mill setup, calibration, maintenance, and daily care, so your technology runs at peak efficiency. By removing guesswork and tightening workflow systems, this training helps reduce remakes, save time, and improve productivity immediately while giving attendees a clear, repeatable process they can put into practice right away.
In addition to foundational workflow mastery, this course delivers focused training in zirconia material science, block selection for function and esthetics, prep design, burs, zirconia and glass ceramic workflows in CEREC software, milling and sintering, sprue removal, pre-polish and post-polish protocols, and the art of staining, glazing, coloring, and finishing highly esthetic restorations. Participants will also learn bonding, cementation, and delivery protocols for both zirconia and glass ceramics. This program is ideal for doctors who are new to CEREC zirconia, want to elevate their staining and glazing results, maximize zirconia and glass ceramic workflow efficiency, and/or want to consistently produce beautiful esthetic restorations.
