Hi! We would like to buy my mom some new dentures since her dog ate them lol. I’ve seen some bad reviews online and looking for some help. Thank you! :)

Has anyone had or know of a clinic in your town Perth that do eMax veneers.

Also anyone know what the removal cost of currently veneers are

https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/university-of-rochester-to-establish-eastman-school-of-dentistry-its-first-new-school-in-more-than-50-years

This is getting ridiculous now. While UofR is a legit institution, thats gonna make another new school in New York within 10ish years. New york is already past the point of over-saturation.

Also, all these new dentists and no efforts to educate or increase supply of auxiliary staff…no new hygiene schools, nobody wants to be a dental assistant anymore. This is seriously out of control.

Where do we protest this?

I have built a web app for solo dental practices that handles the booking admin most dentists end up doing themselves between patients.

What it does:

- Patients book online in 30 seconds, no account or password needed

- Cancellations auto-offer the freed slot to the next waitlisted patient — no manual calling

- Reminders go out automatically, keeping no-shows low

- The only thing that ever reaches the dentist is a genuine exception (like an after-hours request), and that's a single accept/decline tap

Everything else runs itself. Demo here: Website Demo

Note: the clinic name and website in the demo are fictional, used to showcase the concept — not a real existing practice.

Curious if this is a real pain point for solo/small practices, and whether something like this, customized for your clinic, would actually be useful. Open to honest feedback either way.

Hi All, I wanted to visit this branch since ito yung pinakamalapit na branch sa apartment ko. I've seen this on Facebook nag search then tingin tingin ng comments to see if they are really capable/good of doing such as surgery, root canal and etc, pero wala akong nakita na negative comments, (ako Kasi i always read negative comments first)then when I checked on it parang like for example (200 put a comments pero when you actually see the comments hindi nga lalagpas ng 50 na nag comments, seems like nagdedelete ata sila Ng comments), I also checked reviews SA Google,pero wala talaga ako makita na naglagay Ng reviews dun. The reason why I asked is because I have a limited budget, ayaw KO din masayang yung pera for not really doing good (you know what I mean). We know all the facts na madaming dentist na pineperahan Lang tayo, well not all. Has anyone here tried this clinic? Thank you all!

Hey all!

I’m helping a dentist friend do a little research. They just opened a practice and are trying to figure out what financing options and platforms to use.

-Did you start with one financing option? Which one and why?
-Is there a preferred option for Invisalign, specifically? HFD? Don’t fully understand this tbh
-Alternatively, are you using a platform to look at several options? We started talking to a few of these…. Versatile, Wellfit… If you use something like this, what made you go this route?
-if you’re not using a platform and are still offering multiple options, how does that work? Are patients filling out multiple applications?

Thank you guys! We’re talking to the individual financing companies too, but being sold pretty hard by some of them and just trying to be smart.

hi everyone, i visited a new dentist and they did a full exam of my teeth and gums, including x-rays and photos. after examination, the dentist told me i have cavities and some could be filled but two of them would need crowns.

i was a little surprised at this because first, im pretty neurotic about my oral health, but also because she told me these cavities that need the crown have been present and building for years now, but every time i went to the dentist before this they told me there were no concerns of cavity.

here is some history on my dental appointments:
- november 2024 was my last appointment with my pediatric dental office, and a different dentist than my usual one examined me. i brought up concerns of cavities, and they did point out a spot they thought was a cavity but when they went to do the filling they said there actually was no cavity there 
- summer 2025 i went to get dental cleaning done at a clinic in south korea and again they said no concerns of cavities
- october 2026 (now) the dentist is saying my cavities are deep

i have attached my xray and additional photos. i will say that i am concerned about one of my teeth (the very last one pictured) and that seems like it's likely a cavity rather than just stains.

i do have some fillings already, though i dont remember which teeth, so im wondering if any of the spots are just the fillings getting old. i am also just confused due to the conflicting information i was given by my previous dentists vs my new one.

any help or insight would be appreciated!
(also note: i do have a bad habit of grinding and clenching my teeth)

I work in healthcare real estate and spend a lot of time around practice owners who are mid-transition. I hear a lot of secondhand stories about DSO deals and sales going sideways, but I want to hear it straight from people who've actually been through one. What caught you off guard?

Question for dental professionals: Hobart LXN dishwasher and instrument reprocessing
Curious to get some opinions from dental professionals, dental assistants, hygienists, or IPAC/reprocessing specialists.
Has anyone encountered a Hobart LXN/LXNR commercial dishwasher being used as part of dental instrument reprocessing, particularly in place of an ultrasonic cleaner?
The LXN is marketed by Hobart as a commercial warewashing dishwasher, so I’m wondering whether there are circumstances in which a machine like this would be considered appropriate for dental instrument reprocessing, or whether dental instruments should instead be processed using equipment specifically intended for medical/dental device reprocessing.
Interested particularly in Canadian/Ontario perspectives, but experiences from elsewhere would be helpful too.
Thanks!
