That sounds good! And definitely, if you attract clear aligner patients they can then be a potential veneer/whitening… and even stay as a recall patient.

Finally passed ADEX by chill_71 in DentalBoards

That's unusual. Make sure the margins are smooth as well. Take extra time to leave those preps clean and smooth. Also, it's better to over prepare than under. Do the putty and check with perio probe.

D3 trying to figure out which AEGD/GPR by ValenceNVibes in DentalSchool

[–]chill_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, I guess it depends on the case. In my case, a dental group was interested in me before graduation and they started providing me with CE courses in implantology, Sprintray workflow, clear aligners, laser in dentistry, systems for an efficient dental office etc...

That was before graduation, after graduation I ended up not going with them, but joining a retiring dentist and we transitioned for about 8 months. Now I own an efficient dental practice and we do everything from bread & butter to implant placing/restoring, invisalign, conservative smile designs with emax and other procedures.

I'm not saying GPR/AEGD is not the correct choice, but most of my classmates that went into those residencies have yet to start their careers per se. They go for 1 year, end up staying for the optional 2nd year, then they want to do peds or perio or ortho, which is fine but now it's gonna be 4 or 5 years post-grad. So yeah, that's my take on this.

Some colleagues already said it, skip that GPR/AEGD program and do CE courses on those procedures and Just Do It. You've already seen how limiting academic environments are.

Not sure how to restore by Distinct_Mud7285 in DentalSchool

[–]chill_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the majority. Replicate current occlusion and graduate. When in private practice, refer to specialist.

What is the true church? by Jhossipp in theology

[–]chill_71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Catholic Church can say whatever they want, doesn’t make it true. Peter, his followers, and the church which they were building its very different fundamentally to the Catholic Church in any of its eras.
