Bringing Chairside Efficiency to Life: How Jeffrey Dental Uses the Perfit Ovis Mill

After the Voxel team came to install their new Perfit OVIS chairside milling system, we sat down with the team at Jeffrey Dental out of Valparaiso, FL to hear about their experience.

Dr. Alex and Dr. McKinzie Jeffrey shared how bringing chairside milling into their mid-size, high-efficiency practice has transformed both clinical workflows and patient experiences. Their feedback highlights not only the value of the Perfit OVIS milling unit, but also how Voxel Dental’s training and support made adoption smooth—even in a single-room practice environment.

Why Chairside Milling?

The decision to adopt chairside milling was driven by two core factors:

1. Quality Control

   “It gives us the quality control of knowing what we're going to get… if we mill a crown and we don't like it, we can mill it again.”

In other words, there's no more waiting for a lab remake—if something’s not perfect, they simply remill on the spot. This eliminates turnaround delays and ensures greater consistency in results.

2. Patient Convenience

   “The patients just really almost have come to expect that in our practice now.”

Same-day dentistry has become a defining feature for Jeffrey Dental. Patients love the speed and convenience, and the team appreciates being able to deliver final restorations in a single visit.

Why DOES YOUR PRACTICE USE MATERIALS THAT DON'T REQUIRE SINTERING?

Operating from a compact, one-room office, every second counts. The team chose materials that do not require sintering for one important reason:

“We’d rather not put things in the oven… we can cut down on time and, in case something’s wrong, we can re-mill and still not be crunched for time.”

By avoiding ovens and post-processing, they can deliver high-quality restorations quickly and keep their small-space workflow running efficiently.

The Role of Material Compatibility

Material compatibility was a key deciding factor in choosing the Perfit OVIS. Their team emphasized the importance of using the fastest and best materials available, particularly fully crystallized blocks that don't require any sintering.

Not only does this reduce chair time, but it also keeps the team flexible—able to remill a crown without starting from scratch or baking time into the schedule.

Training with Voxel Dental

Jeffrey Dental’s training experience with Voxel Dental was thorough, practical, and confidence-building.

“Today was perfect. Everything pretty much dropped right in.”

While there was a small learning curve—particularly adjusting interproximal contacts in the new CAD software—the transition was smooth. Drawing parallels to their earlier adoption of CEREC, the team was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they felt after just one day of hands-on support.

“Even just in the one day today, we were able to accomplish a lot and feel very comfortable walking out… knowing we can come in tomorrow and probably do this on our own.”

Final Thoughts

Jeffrey Dental’s story is proof that chairside milling isn’t just for big offices—it’s for smart, agile practices that want control, efficiency, and next-level patient care. With the Perfit OVIS and Voxel Dental’s support, they’ve unlocked a new level of productivity without sacrificing quality.
