LAVA CROWNS

I am hoping to get some input from a dentist. In the process of dental makeover, and just waiting for perm crowns to be set on the bottom arch.
Once that is done, I am going to have LAVA Crowns put on the whole upper arch. I just found out from his assistant on my last visit that he had never put them on before, even though he has been in practice for 20+ years Should I be concerned?
I know that he has attended some courses at LVI, but I am starting to think LVI is more taylored towards "closing the deal get customer to buy today", Rather than leading edge cosmetics.

Help, I have already spent 10K on PFMS for the bottom not as big a deal. The top is very important that it is perfect I am young and in sales, so they must look good.

LVI is a school in Las vegas, known for being of the best in contined education as well as new tech in the industry.  They also have courses on increasing sales. BLAH BLAH BLAH!

With all the new technology and patient awareness comes stiff competition. Especially when there are so many dentists to choose from. Which you'd think would be good the patient, on the flip side it's hard to come by a trust worthy dentist.  I have been to more then 12 different ones.  Not fun!

I do not know what LVI is, I assume it is a school. I do not understand "closing the deal get customer to buy today". that being the case if he is a compentent dentist i don't think the tecnique for these crowns are anything he can not handle.
