Is the Other Bracket About to Drop?
I wrote about DIY orthodontics not long ago. While it felt good to “unload” my feelings about DIY orthodontics, I had to admit to myself that it was unlikely we (dentistry) would stop this multi-billion dollar juggernaut. I figured it … Continue reading
All My Training and 31 Years of Experience Have Led to This!
About a month ago, we had a close call with Hurricane Dorian, which was a “Cat 5” and got within 100 miles of us. In the process of putting up my shutters, I smashed the tip of the ring finger … Continue reading
Join the Dark (Insurance) Side, or not?

Strive for Perfection. Be Happy with “Darned Good.”
Dentistry is demanding in many ways. It’s physically demanding. It’s mentally demanding. Dentists have to wear a lot of hats. We are the primary producer in a business. We are the doctor. We are the manager. We are the CEO, … Continue reading

OnTarget Shot Group Calculator Software – a shooter’s review
I thought I’d do a quick review of a software program I’ve been using to analyze my precision rifle target groups. It’s called “OnTarget.” If you want to skip the “intro” or “review” of what shot group size means and … Continue reading
Provisionalization of Immediate Implants With Screw-Retained Crowns
It’s been a while since I’ve written, and even longer since I posted a technique / case presentation article. One of my long-time patients had a 3-unit bridge (#12 – 13 – 14) fail due to unrestorable recurrent caries under … Continue reading
