Still Impressive After All These Years...

Pt contacted the office today at 2pm and reported a broken front tooth.  Crown and RCT completed years ago, not by me. Occlusion was evaluated and, with the remaining tooth structure, I felt enough ferrule could be gained to place a post/core, crown.  At 78 years old, her main concern was church tonight and how she couldn't bear to be seen (it's Wed in the South, ya'll).  With the hx of RCT, no anesthetic was necessary.  Cord packed, post/core, prep.  CEREC images.  Design, mill Empress A2 Multi.  Bond in with RelyX Ultimate.  I know immediate before/after pics aren't the best for presentations, but I think in this case it highlights the power of what we can do.  While I love implants and guided surgeries, having the ability to replace a front tooth in under 2 hours still blows my mind after 7 years with CEREC.  It may not be guided surgery or printing sexy/cool, but it's bread and butter dentistry that pt's truly appreciate.
