So many lost homes this last week in the Santa Rosa firestorms.  The Klim office and home were both close to the fires and were located in one of the many mandatory evacuation zones.  Fortunately, both the home and office survived the fires.  Our prayers and heartfelt sadness go out to the many who lost homes (a number of our patients) and loved ones.

We thank the firefighters, law enforcement, and associated personnel for incredible work saving lives, providing leadership, and protection during this devastating ordeal. They are our heroes!

We are planning to be up and running again on Monday.

Enjoyed my presentation at Dentsply Sirona World 2017. Being such a fan and clinically implementing the Sirona CAD/CAM and Galileos systems, it is easy to share my passion for centering my practice around this incredible digital platform. However, my presentation took a twist from the digital side of dentistry and conveyed my number one passion, the emotional side of dentistry. It is about the heart...mine and the patients who spend time in my office. 

My number one focus on patient care is creating and maintaining an atmosphere of security and safety. An authentic communication style and solid belief system in why and how care isRead more

Klim Institute Zirconia Crown LT ZirCAD

Chairside zirconia restoration...getting better every month. ZirCAD LT, multi infiltration effect, and polished. Chairside zirconia provides a complete portfolio for restoring posterior teeth.

I do appreciate the all-zirconia restorations and provide quite a number of them as a treatment option in my clinical theater.  The primary benefit of the all zirconia restoration for me is the conservative crown prep and biomechanical “muscle” material behavior.  In the next year, we will find an abundance of new brands and translucency options being introduced to the market.  We will need to decipher recommended prep style and reductionRead more

#KlimDigitalNotes: Dental Digital Models & Creative Clinical Applications

Submitted by James Klim DDS, CADStar Host on 05/16/2017 - 10:24pm

Using the Sirona Omnicam camera for a dental digital scan is an excellent way to capture accurate clinical data that can now be exported as a STL (SW 4.5) file for model printing. At the Klim office, we have now gone totally

digital impressions and use the Formlabs Form 2 printer to print our models when needed.
