Very Clinical: Getting Ahead of It, part 3: Fixed Prosthodontics

In this pre-Halloween clinical roundtable, hosts Zach and Kevin are joined by Alan to tackle the subtle art of "getting ahead of it" in "fixed prosthodontics." After kicking things off with childhood Halloween prank confessions—ranging from flaming bags on doorsteps to near-arson in the storm drains—the trio dives into proactive patient communication for single- and multi-unit crown workflows. They break down essential chairside scripts designed to eliminate post-op callbacks, covering provisional sensitivity expectations, cord-packing and soft-tissue soreness, CEREC milling downtime, anesthetic choices at cementation, bite calibration, and contact adjustments. The consensus: pristine margins only go so far—mastering your chairside exit verbal skills is what actually keeps patients happy and the phones quiet.
