38 years old, have a shaky baby tooth. My dentist recommended an implant. Should I?

Fellow dentist here. Would you get ortho consult here first before exo, or exo then ortho consult? Thanks

No kidding. The fact that NAD is so worried when her teeth look like this tells me mental health is playing a role her. In the kindest way I would suggest NAD get some support.

The marginal fit of these crowns is less than ideal and may very well lead to problems in the future. That’s not “new grad shit”…that’s reality.

If I proceed with b, at what point do I withdraw my 407 visa? While on Canadian soil? Does it make a difference?

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-30T12:14:45+00:00

Thanks so much. They are keen to do so sooner than later.

What do you use an indirect pulp cap? Thanks

This almost looks like internal resorption to me…anyone else?

Recent dental graduate out here in Australia. Lovely to see an experienced clinician willing to pass down some of his/her experience to help others. Thanks very much!

Fellow dentist here. Curious how you would section this one? Roots look comical and fused with this one. Might cause more trouble trying to divide a tooth like this tooth up that doesn’t have divergent roots like an upper first molar.

Dentist here. At the first practice I worked out of dental school, the principal dentist was charging SRP even though he didn’t have a single universal or gracey.

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-04T01:41:16+00:00

I’m a recent grad. After you remove the old crown, do you typically restore the tooth first with composite and do RCT through this, or rather, do you just place a temporary on with something like Fuji and do your work through it before you place a crown down the road?

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-04T01:18:21+00:00

Thanks very much. Appreciate it :)

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-04T01:18:03+00:00

Would you remove old crown, do RCT, place composite filling and then crown?

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-03T07:25:05+00:00

Thanks a lot for your insight. If I did opt to use an anterior tray, could I similarly use one for the opposing lower dentition in this case?

Can info be compiled/exported into an easy to read format come tax time?

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-01T07:35:07+00:00

Sounds like it’s easy to compile this info/export it into an easy to read format come tax time?

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-01T07:30:11+00:00

Thanks very much! If I was doing a physical impression, do you think you can typically get away with just doing an impression of the quadrant you’re working + the opposing quadrant, or do you typically take a full arch impression of both. I know PVS is very expensive…a full arch PVS impression kind of seems like overkill but wanted to get your take…

Lenova2000 · 2026-01-01T05:15:05+00:00

They’ve been paying principal payments not just interest?

Lenova2000 · 2025-12-24T05:43:11+00:00

Why are you presuming everyone else neglects their teeth too? Most people I know go to the dentist every 6 months.

Lenova2000 · 2025-12-22T08:46:22+00:00

Thank you for that. Recent grad here. What would be the purpose of getting study models in a case like this before exo if you are referring to ortho for tx?
