@sweatystartup lol to #2. I’m a dentist that works 30-35 hours a week making mid 6 figs and very average. Have plenty of friends making way more. Dentistry is the epitome of sales, you’d love it. Incredible work/life balance. Very high floor
Interesting case I inherited after implants and temps made by another provider. Post photo is 2 week mark so will still see how tissue heals up before going to finals. Didn’t promise her much but she was thrilled after being in previous temps 10+ months
@BowTiedChomper Sweet case. For sure one of the more fulfilling (albeit tedious) procedures out there. You have a matrix you used to temp? Last office I would have a shell temp with wings designed and print in office And loved that workflow (and result)
Elected for Maryland bridge here. Pt had previous graft failure 7 years ago and didn’t want to go thru more surgery. Good friend of mine so told him if pops off more than twice going full coverage. Happy with result. Had been wearing essix’s for 7 years prior 🤯
@BowTiedChomper Days like this-we have to take a step back,have a beer and remind ourselves it’s just dentistry. You’ll get the cement out next week, salt water rinse and pt will be fine.(I am speaking this to myself as I beat myself up about small things too. It’s good to have a standard)
First Fixed Arch at new office. Used OptiSplint instead of traditional PG and was surprisingly pleased with its ease of use. 24hr delivery. Pt is aware of lower next
@RussellKirkDDS Lol it’s so funny that patients don’t think that we want there case to be done too. Like if we could be done with you the same day that’d be a win for us as well!
@PCampK@BowTiedChomper Look into AIE in Alabama. Great beginner course. If you’re closer to west coast then Implant Pathway in Scottsdale is great I hear. I did my GPR at the place in Bama and can’t tell you how much it has accelerated my surgical skillset as a young doc
Well, had to let one of my dental lenders know today that I was going to use another bank instead. Felt like I was breaking up with her there for a minute
