Wanted to share this case that I have almost finished up. Little back story is patient came in with quite a bit of pain. Two fistulas on 4 and 14 I believe and a large pulp cap/IRM thing done at a clinic somewhere on number 11. Other than that lots of cavities on most of her upper teeth. She was ready to pull them and go to dentures because she didnt feel like she had the money.
Well thankfully she walked into our office! Not because I am some dental wizard but because I am a GP who does a good bit of procedures and I love cerec. So I basically said hey, I want to help, why don't you let me just fix whatever I have to fix for a flat fee! We agreed on a price and off we went. We ended up doing 3 root canals and 13 units on top. 1 implant, 1 root canal, and 2 crowns on the bottom(We still have to restore the implant in a couple months). My cost for everything in materials is under 1,000 bucks easy. I ended up doing everything for like 10k so I still made a great profit, got tons of experience, and now have a referring patient for life! Anyways wanted to share because I love that cerec gives me more flexibility to work with patients on cost for these large cases becasue my lab bill is so much smaller. I probably would have spent 4K easy in lab without a cerec!
Wish I had done this case after level 4 a couple weeks ago hahaha, my anterior crowns would be wayyy better! But as you can imagine she is thrilled! And if you arent doing it you should seriously start asking patients if they dont mind sharing there story/experience...she was like of course, I want others to do this!
