“The Times They Are A-Changin’!” Part I “The times they are a-changin’”. These famous words written by Bob Dylan in the 1960’s are an understatement when looking at the impact of today’s COVID-19 pandemic. Well, times have changed! Our lives have changed at almost every level, including the practice of dentistry and its very future.…

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…

Pretty simple case, but thought I would post anyway. 2 Legacy 2 4.7 by 11.5s, Guide Printed on the Sprintray Pro. Yes I know my guide sleeve popped up, Bio Horizons Guided Kit. Patient had a BL2 crown on #29, so I thought I would match it. Should have closed the distal of #30 more.…

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…

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,…
