Therapeutic Toxins!
Are you doing Botox in your office for TMD or other treatments? We just had the most amazing class at Digital Enamel with Ascend Dental Academy! It was therapeutic botox and dermal fillers instructed by Dr. Benjamin Nemec. The entire class had so much fun that we hung around and discussed it. Take a look,…

Simply Put: Only Two Shades Needed!
One of our patients needed her old porcelain fused to metal crown replaced after a root canal. This is an excellent opportunity to jazz up the esthetics, especially after bleaching. How many times have you seen this where they bleached years after a PFM was placed??!! Picking the right shade is important, but also a…

No Crowns Necessary with eMax CAD
If you’ve followed this website, you have seen a lot of partial coverage restorations by me. I am very conservative in my decisions on when to “cover” cusps or where to leave margins. After completing thousands of partial coverage restorations, the hard guidelines that we tend to follow don’t always seem to be of importance.…

This case is a great example of using analog and digital dentistry together to make a huge impact in a patient’s life. Duration of this case was 3.5 years as we started the process while keeping the end result in mind. Not a single drop of impression material was used on the restorative side of…

This Printer is so Extra! Phrozen XL $1200 3D Printer with Extra Large build plate
I really am loving the low cost printers from a company with a funny name, Phrozen. This is the 3rd printer I have bought from them and, although I am sticking to my guns on getting a Moonray or Form 2 for a production, dental office printer, I may change my tune with this one,…

A Hit and a Miss: Form 2 $70 Resin from Apply Lab Works
Ok I got some more resin from Apply Lab Works for the Form 2. This retails for $70 vs $150 from Formlabs. When you are printing a 40 model aligner case, that adds up quick! The Moonray resin is working perfectly, so I am super excited about that. I tested the tan and the gray.…

Expensive Resins Need Not “Apply”: $70 Resin for Form 2 and Moonray from Apply Lab Work
Doing aligners in house has been great for my practice and my patients. I’ve lowered my aligner fees by $1800 which was what I was paying Invisalign. But there are a lot of models to print and model resin is between $150 and $200 a liter or about $3-5 a model. I’ve experimented with less…

Today Was a Good Day: Edentulous lower with Legacy Implants and 3D Printed Guide
I don’t think I will ever get tired of placing implants. Just the overall coolness of taking someone from no teeth to having a full set is like nothing else we do in dentistry. If you are not placing implants you really should look at courses like Justin Moody’s Implant Pathway. They do live courses…
