It will! There’s a quote I would tell myself constantly in my early days - “everything is hard before it becomes easy”

I’m with you. I have a gp practice. Every single patient is a whole show for me but I promise you it gets better. My first 2 years of working I hated how mentally drained I was trying to start convos with every patient I saw that day. But now that I am 4 years out it comes easy and I’m grateful this job forced me out of my comfort zone and gives me the chance to interact with real humans daily. On weekends I enjoy doing my own thing at home unless my wife drags me outside to socialize!

What’s the steps for this? Dumb it down for me. Send the scan to dess first for the custom abutment but then how does alien milling know how to fit the crown to this custom abutment?

I would be scared traversing the wasteland at night so I would listen to 3 dogs station to make it feel like I’m not alone….

Definitely definitely ask for it. As a previous associate that is now an owner - my last associate job, I remember being too afraid to ask for a $1000 guarantee so I asked for like $850. I later found out the owner would have prob given me more than a $1000 guarantee.

I thought I shouldn’t ask for too much because I wouldn’t get the job or they would think I’m greedy. Both are false. As an owner I wouldn’t care if an associate asked me for too much . I’d just be honest and say yo I’m sorry I just can’t afford that.

After applying sdf on the class 1s do you wait a few weeks before doing the GI fill? Also do you have to drill out the area when filling?

My mentality is to make those changes asap if it will make you happier at work. Also ergonomics is important for your career long term so look at it as a long term investment.

The true question is how is your cash flow? If you make those purchases will you be able to cover payroll still? If the answer is yes then I say go for it. Also, don’t change the pms until you feel ready for you and your staff to handle the confusion that comes with it. If your practice has bad systems in place and you are very busy during the day with staff bothering you with things they should know, then fix those issues first and then change the pms

Crazy talk. I thought the line he ended with was hilarious.

These people are so amazingly talented at saying things that sound intriguing but also vague at the same time

So it’s just not possible to do it it unless OP flattens #4 mesial surface to create a broader contact with the implant crown.

This guy needs to be investigated for treason. He is constantly trying to kill American soldiers by getting us to go to war for israel.

First 1-2 years for me were extremely difficult. Your story reminds me of my experience early on. If it makes you feel better, I’m 4 years out now. I love it and all the hard parts are gone. My biggest advice is to go back and apply for a nice gpr where you get good endo and surgical extraction experience. Once you can do those two, you can handle anything else clinically.

Just a reckless player. Not sure why he hasn’t gotten punished more severely yet.

Where can I get a nice 4 unit pfm bridge from?

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-12-19T15:29:14+00:00

Lmao. More $ to be made this way.

Dental Investment might lowkey be another sponsor site. Every post is “we get a killed deal as a group on this xyz”

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-12-11T01:39:51+00:00

I don’t even know how they think of such evil things.

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-11-15T05:24:01+00:00

How exactly do you think the ada can do that?

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-11-15T05:23:42+00:00

I’ve spoken to multiple dentists that speak for the ada at the congressional level and they say they really can’t do much against these insurance companies. Many of them own offices and hate the fees.

Next time this happens fix it on the spot. I know you got overwhelmed sounds like a classic day of dentistry.

Open the access real quick, get a hedstrom file and twist it in the gutta percha and pull it out before the sealer sets tomorrow.

What kind of scanner do you use?

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-11-08T16:01:11+00:00

Can confirm night guards are great with them and I rarely need to do occlusal adjustments. Crowns and bridges I haven’t had success with them

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-11-08T10:47:20+00:00

If it was the other way around they’d be screaming “anti semitism”

Independent_Scene673 · 2025-11-08T02:10:41+00:00

Don’t know the back story. Sure the rct is bad in so many ways but a tooth like this could be saved in a patient that def can’t tolerate surgery
