Suprinity by Vita was super-fantastic with this amelogenesis imperfecta case. This was a young woman who always hated her teeth, but has a bigger-than-life personality. Her dad was so sweet to get these for her as a gift. It was emotional for all of us. We broke the case up into three sections…
Single Visit Central
There are things one never forgets from dental school. Two of the things that resonate the most with me are as follows: “You never regret the patient you don’t treat” and “The hardest thing in dentistry is crowning a single central incisor.” The first comment I really take to heart typically after exhausting all effort…
Implant Cantilever with ZirCAD Multi
Not a lot of space and we decided to cantilever a bridge off of the implant. My OMS placed the implant where the most bone was available and had to use a small diameter implant. Because there was no tibase for this, I just used a stock abutment and imaged it like a traditional tooth…
Taking the Bite Out of Multiple Hybrid Impressions: All CEREC Primescan Case on Bio Horizons Implants by Prosmiles Lab at Implant Pathway
This case is one of my favorites for a ton of reasons. This is my first case at my new home for digital awesomeness, Implant Pathway! Implant Pathway is part of a non profit clinic, New Horizon which serves the less fortunate. This case and a number of others were done free of charge…
So “Over” Overdentures: Converting an OVD to Hybrid with CEREC Primescan and Imetric at Implant Pathway with Prosmiles Dental Studio
Here is another case, which turned out great (INMHO) that was a little tougher than the last at Implant Pathway. As I’ve posted before Implant Pathway is a teaching center in Tempe, AZ that works with New Horizons a non profit that delivers dentistry at low or no cost to the needy. I teach…
Just Onlays
Ho hum…. Just a couple of partial coverage restorations… Nothing fancy like a mouthful of veneers. Just plain ‘ol restorations. Or, are they? I think they are EXCITING! I love saving tooth structure and keeping the “parts” that are still doing great! Why cut them down when you have a CEREC system? You can…
All-in-Four Veneers
I’ve completed many veneer cases, and most likely the patient is hesitant about the cost and how many. Rightfully so. Veneers can be quite expensive. If you’ve read any of my other posts, or follow me on FB, you know that I’m already “aggressively conservative.” I try to save tooth structure,…
Digital Impressions: What are they exactly?
Have you ever asked yourself what the heck is happening when you are scanning for a digital impression? It’s a really cool process so let’s take a look! The CEREC Primescan is the most up to date camera on the market and the flagship of the Dentsply Sirona CAD/CAM arsenal. As we pass the…
Trust Your BioCopy
Ooops…. A really informative video that Cindy and I made, er, a couple of years ago. I never posted here! 🙂 We discuss and SHOW how your occlusal surfaces can greatly differ with BioCopy and Buccal Bite Biogeneric. Although an older software, the Biogeneric calculation still does the same in today’s Omnicam and PrimeScan…
MiYo by Jensen Dental
Don Cornell from Jensen Dental and I discuss the latest in their characterization system: MiYo. It has a glaze component with colors that truly give you: WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get.) The colors are formulated in a way that you do not see any significant chroma loss, or increase after firing. …
