" I -- I busted off a hunk of something. Who did give up bread and so I went to the Dennis that he says this will be a two part deal he said of I have put on a temporary thing so they put all of that good you're not. You write it down and of the blue cards in the prior mouth open modern dentistry has been around for thousands of years modern dentistry. I went and look at all the wonderful medical advances we've made why can't they do it in one simple procedure should be why -- I have to wait two weeks right -- walker. Around with some spare part in my mouth but I don't really want. It doesn't really -- it -- even make it through lunch."

" Paula Davis prayers have been answered it. Guess what you can now how did that dental procedure done in only one visit no temporary is no good we impressions they was talking about. Or paying to be worried about this is great news -- like me. Who are incredibly nervous sitting in a dentist's chair this is most want most uncomfortable situations dock if I can ever be in doctor Kevin -- here. To talk about this new technology. Called cad cam dentistry good to have -- year but I got to be honest with -- very very uncomfortable right now I'd like you though. We're tight we've been together all morning long I -- Tired and I feel the love them but I don't know of some -- about this new dentistry cad cam what is the advantage to it. David Letterman talking about the do we impressions that's not all."

" Right. David Letterman really set at all anyone who's ever have a temporary. Knows it tempers can crack break fall out and be sensitive. But now we have some and -- cad cam dentistry computer aided design. And computer aided manufacture. And what we do is create a tooth in one visit there's no second visit. There's no second impression. There's no second injection. And there's no temporary so. Patients enjoy that -- really is a big change in dentistry. Talk about the technology in terms of -- what we're looking at here and what makes this such a simple procedure. Well normally you're used having a crown cut sure which you enjoy so much I loved it and then we put a temporary on in two weeks later you come back. Now we've. Don't have to do that what we do is using three dimensional computer. We cut the tooth and we use this. Camera to digitally taken impression so there's no -- impression anymore. We take him that I had the impression put it in the computer and we virtually create that tooth just like this and we manufacture it. Then we finish the tooth in the office in 11 hour we actually have some before and after shots is sure exactly. What these teams look like before and after tells we'll look at that talked very this to that the if you could see it one is missing the gentleman had a root canal. And in one visit we use what's called you mess which is forty times the strength of normal porcelain. To replace it. That's stronger than traditional porcelain. And that was done of one visit normally that's two or three visits normally tour three visits so it's not just. Simpler but also. I mentioned in the initial people like me to have tremendous anxiety down going to the dentist can also ease their fears is well read absolutely most of my patients and in their over 10000 Dennis. They use this in the United States they all say the same thing. That their patients are extremely happy about this okay -- we find those steps is to say there are 10000 there's not just a handful what are we find them you could. Find -- Sarah Dennis. There's there's there's a web sorry doctor dot com. And that's a national site that'll take you to cad cam -- around the country there is the website on the bottom are upstream that's how you can find this cad cam technology. Insurance -- were probably curious about that. Is this paid for by typical. The dental insurance this is paid for exactly like your dental insurance is there's no difference you're getting an all porcelain crown. And the insurance and take care of it like they always do and there's also another benefit if you haven't had enough you say it's also environmentally friendly which is. This in thing to do these days one to the side notes about cad cam dentistry is we take -- optic impression digitally. So we don't use impression do we don't use plaster all the temporary is that you normally use. -- full rolled away and that adds up to power homes. Of garbage which adds up to millions of pounds. In landfills over the country runs so we don't use that it's still fairly specialized in that there are only 10000. And in this country doing a win would be much more widespread available to the masses. The paths of technology have really crossed and that in the last year. You're -- More more Dennis. Are being requested by their patients to get into this and it's just a matter of time. Before this becomes pretty much the standard. I'll bring in my co host Clayton Morris who enjoys the dentist so much more so than I do I have to get out of the bottle and I think he's gonna act as your."

Created a much more relaxed atmosphere in the dental office because you're only gonna go once you're not gonna have to go through anything the border and --"
