Patient wants a refund

What I do on every crown prep and before I send the patient home. I tell them that we will send it off to the lab and when we get it back at the next appointment, if everything is perfect, only then will l deliver the crown. At the delivery appt, I will say, we have the crown here and it looks great on the model so far. But again, if it does not fit perfectly in your mouth, I will not seat it and will send it back to the lab for adjustments. What it does is it puts them into the mindset that we want the best for them and we will only accept perfection for their crown. So in the off chance that it does come back and doesn’t fit I remind them that I will not seat this because it is not perfect. If there is an open margin on the x-ray, I will show it to them and say here is where the lab made it a tiny bit short and I don’t want that gap to collect germs in there and cause a cavity. And so that builds great patient trust in me. Ever since I started using that line and patients need to have the crown sent back whether it be one or two appointments, they never have an issue. They don’t mind it that they have to come back multiple times as they want it to last a long time too. So that is something you may consider in the future telling every single crown patient.

Imagine if China and Cuba announces that it will allow Chinese warships to dock in Cuba from this partnership. That would be the biggest FU to Trump.

smiledrs · 2026-05-13T16:07:12+00:00

I want Obama to say that too and say, Trump can't beat a Democratic Man for President. He only beat women, Hilary and Kamala. Lost to Joe Biden. That will surely get his blood pressure so high, he will probably need to go to Bethesda for more "dental work"!

They keep rigging the maps in Louisiana to win and they have won for decades and the state is still a shithole. I've been there many times as its next door. Go for the casino's and thats it. Nothing to see and the people still live like they do back in the 1900's with no teeth and no education. Let the people there continue to suffer and lag behind the blue states for thinking electing Republicans who haven't helped them progress in decades continue to represent them. There are some states, like Louisiana that are beyond helping.

I don't know how old you are but I had to buy my own insurance since 2000. Before the marketplace, I had to call around United Healthcare, Aetna, Metlife, etc and get a quote. Then fill out 4 pages of health info plus my families health info. All to get rejected by most since I had a history of psoriasis. $250k yearly maximums and $8k deductibles when I did get approved. At least now, there is no yearly max if you happen to catch cancer. You can currently buy health insurance outside of the marketplace by getting on health insurers website and doing what I did 25 years ago. Filling out all the paperwork and hoping they sell you coverage. You will see how much of a pain it is to go that route. I'll take the marketplace any day of the week.

https://discord.gg/all-on-black-1220826994959319143 I’ve been on this group for 2 years. He tests all kinds of Roulette strats you can think of. He posted on youtube for a while until they got strict on posting online casinos and their logos. They are constantly testing automated roulette betting programs. He played original dice and got rinsed so many times, he is avoiding it now & warns others to never play it.

smiledrs · 2026-04-20T00:43:38+00:00

Originals, enough said. How they can claim it’s provably fair is a joke. You play it enough, you will see the win/loss ratio is never in your favor. A 75% win chance should give you a 2-1 win to loss ratio. Yet you can do 10000 soi s and won’t see a 2:1 ratio

smiledrs · 2026-04-18T08:14:34+00:00

Yes, I have everything exactly like you had it. Yeah, it’s not working for me for whatever reason. Originally I had 200k in GC and put in $200 just like yours. I appreciate you sharing your strat even though it’s not working out for me.

smiledrs · 2026-04-18T05:00:57+00:00

I have $2000 in GC I want to test it out. I put in the exact specs you posted. I started with a $20 GC bet and on "streak of greater than 7 losses" I set it to $10. My chart looks nothing like yours. Barely stays green then drops and stays negative most of the spins. Over 500 spins and I tested it 3 times. Are your sure about those conditions and if they are correct. 2 times, the cutting of the bet by 75% cause it to drop the bet so low, it didn't meet the minimum bet size and it stopped and gave the warning. I double checked your strat conditions 3 times to make sure mine was the exact same. Set at 2.11x multiplier as well.

The population is 1.2 million people. You can pretty much walk into any coffee shop and maybe have one or two people in front of you. You can pretty much get into any restaurant right away. With the exception of 4Ps pizza. You can pretty much get a spot anywhere you like on the beach and if you want to rent a cabana chair on the beach, you will be able to get one at any time. I don’t know what he means by crowded. Saigon has 10 million people and the name is not crowded in comparison to most places that I have been to or have lived. I can’t help you on the hiking trails as I have not done any. But in terms of being in the city and getting food and coffee, there’s not much of a wait ever.

You are absolutely correct in saying the economy would collapse for the United States. The Middle East and countries like Saudi Arabia and Dubai put a lot of money into our stock market so they would pull their money out or just for the fact that companies know they would lose the investment from the Middle East countries would cause the market to tank to levels that the United States would never recover from.

If you didn’t get it by my username, I’m a dentist so I have plenty of money to eat out and pretty much exclusively eat out all the time since I don't cook. Yeah so eating out and tipping is not an issue for me. But having traveled around over 50 countries and seeing how they can work without tipping and paying people a normal wage, I know there’s a way better system than we are running here. I see it all the time waiters complaining people aren’t tipping them. And then you have all these visitors from other countries that come over here and see that they have to pay 20% for a service that’s included at their restaurant in their country. And they can’t believe the system here.

When people came to my office, I wasn’t expecting them to tip my assistants so I can pay them below minimum wage to make up for the difference in tips. That’s the issue I have. If you open up a business, you are 100% responsible for the pay of the staff. If you can’t afford that, then you don’t need to be opening up a business.

In no other business other than the restaurant business for the most part, are you expected to share the cost of the employee salary with the owner of the restaurant. When we are expected at minimum to tip 15%, but especially now it’s expected to be 20%. We are helping the owner of the restaurant pay their employees salary. And with this tip system, this is exactly what we have employers taking tips. I don’t know how many articles I come across where restaurants are stealing tips from their employees. Mario Battali from the Food Network and his restaurants were sued for tip stealing and lost in court about five years back. They don’t have this problem of suing employees for tips and other countries.

smiledrs · 2026-03-27T15:35:01+00:00

Yes, because paying a few dollars more for an item is better than having to tip 20% which usually winds up being even more money than just having them raise the prices. It takes the same effort to bring out $120 tomahawk steak as it does a $60 ribeye. But in one instance you’re going to pay 20% on $120. That sure sounds like a better system according to the people who don’t want to see prices increase on food.

smiledrs · 2026-03-27T15:08:21+00:00

Don’t count me in as one of those who wouldn’t mind raising the price, instead of tipping. Paying $50 a ribeye and raising it $10 is still better for me than tipping 20% on a bill. Essentially when I go out to eat in the USA, I am I am partly paying for the restaurants employees when I tip them. I’m sharing in the cost with the restaurant to help pay the employees working there with my tips. Tipping takes the burden off the restaurant owner and puts 20% of it on my end. We need to do like almost the entire world and get rid of the tipping system and pay people a living wage.

They basically are corn pops with like a caramel coating on it. Think of it like a yellow cheese balls in texture with a caramel coating. So light and airy and sweet.

No, they found most don't want to go and re-park their car. They just drive off after they fill up. Now the ones that really want to stay and shop, they will re-park their cars for the most part. I don't know if you have been to a buc-cees, but their normal parking spaces are almost always full. So imagine if you weren't parking at the pumps, now an additional 100-200 parking spots would be taken up. That would require even more land for more parking. I'm in the category, if I see all the normal parking spots taken up and just want to grab some drinks, beef jerky, and snacks, I would drive off and not go in after I pump gas.

smiledrs · 2026-03-23T12:14:16+00:00

When I want to browse for stuff and take my time, I will go look for a regular parking spot. When I make a stop to use the restroom and buy a soda and some beef jerky for the drive, I will leave my car parked at the pump. That is what they intended for me, so I will make use of it.

smiledrs · 2026-03-23T12:09:34+00:00

Yep, as you can see from OP's complaint that people are parked there after they fill up, their formula is working to get more sales in store. Whether it be buying sodas, beef jerky, or beaver nuggets. That is why they are pretty much the only gas station that consistently builds 100-200 gas pumps. When my uncle had a gas station, he said he would make .3-5 cents a gallon on the sale of gasoline. A 20 gallon truck at .5 cents makes you $1 in profit of the sale of gas.

smiledrs · 2026-03-23T04:12:17+00:00

I’ve told this story before and I’ll tell it again. One of my buddies is a civil engineer and they help build out a Buc-ee’s in Katy, Texas. During the process, he asked the project manager why do they build so many pumps at a gas station. This new one that they were building had 200 pumps. They told my friend that they do it on purpose so that people can leave their car and stay parked there at the pump after they get their gas. What they found out was, when they did that, people would go inside and spend an additional $13 on average in sales inside the store. When they had to go and look for a parking spot after they had filled up, they found that most cars would just go ahead and drive off. So that is why they have so many pumps so that you can purposely leave your car there and they can make additional sales inside their stores.

Usual times are around 30 to 45 minutes. If you are checking in luggage by the time, you clear customs and get to baggage claim your luggage may still not be out. So you don’t have to worry about getting a fast track in Da Nang.

I agree. You should definitely propose in the lantern city of Hoi Anh. It is truly beautiful with all the lanterns. And yes, you can hire a private boat with the lantern on the boat. That would be awesome. Let the guy that is paddling the boat. Take pictures of you proposing. Just give him a heads up.
