Why would a dentist need two identical impressions before any teeth are pulled?

Well it depends on what the next set of treatment will be for your case. Whether it be implant, crown and bridge, or dentures. I will try to explain the reasons for the need of impressions on all these procedures to better answer your question.

Implants: Implants are a long process. They take 6-9 months to complete the entire implant. At first the doctor must take an impression to have prior to any work being completed. He will send this to the laboratory where your implant will be made. After the implant placement and healing time is completed the doctor will need to take another impression to send off the laboratory again and then you would get your crown and abutment for the implant.

Crown and Bridge: Before any work has began on the patient the assistant needs to take an impression so that when she makes the temporary crown is will reflect your natural tooth. This makes it much better for the patient. Also after the tooth has completed his preparation of the tooth they will need to take another impression for the lab where your crown will be processed and made for your next appointment if the office does not do in office crown and bridge.

Dentures/ Partials: Before beginning any work again the patient will need to have an impression for the lab. When making dentures and partials there are 5 steps before placing the partial that is to make sure all the teeth are symmetrical and everything lines up with the patient's midline and they are satisfied with what the teeth will look like. Later you will need more impressions when you will begin the reline of the denture or partial that is usually 6-12 months depending on how the denture was made and the adjustments made to the denture.

I hope all this helps!

Are there any non-Mormon dentists in Utah?

Of course! Dentists don't generally advertise their religion though, it is just something you'll find out by talking to them. You are most likely to find a dentist that is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) closer to the downtown Salt Lake City area.

How many work days per year?

That depends on the country in which you live (national holidays) and your contract with your employer.

But if you work a 5 day week and there are 8 days of national holiday and you get two weeks annual leave then the working days would be

(52*5)-(8+10) = 242 working days

You went to the dentist because your upper left wisdom tooth is coming in but since you have a tooth missing next to it he wants to let it grow in do to loss of teeth but it doesn't feel right why?

I recommend getting a second opinion.

While allowing the wisdom tooth to slide into the second molar space is one option, there are other options to consider. Perhaps a dental implant would be another possibility.

At the very least, you need to discuss all your options with your current dentist and be satisfied with his reasoning for the recommended course of action before you agree to proceed.

What is the best way to pop the cork on a champaign bottle?

The safest (controlling the cork) way I have found is to wrap the cork with the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand and rotate the bottle away from the cork with your other hand. You still get the satisfying pop and the cork will stay in your strong hand.

I think the safest way to uncork a bottle is to Place a dish towel over the bottle, firmly grasping the bottom part plus holding the bottle firmly. Slowly turn out the cork, and if it does 'fly' out of your hand it will get lodged in the centre of the towel, and not flying across the room knocking over the urn of your Grandparents sitting on the mantle. Hope this helps

I have heard to turn the bottle and not the cork. let gravity be your friend.

Does VMK stand for Vita Metallic Keramic?

Previous answer: "VMK stands for Virtual Magic Kingdom."

I thought this was answers.com rather than bs.com.

VMK is the name of a PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) product developed by a dental technology company called VIDENT, a subsidiary of VITA. It stands for "VITA Metal Keramik". It does seem strange when you're reading through dental technology literature and you see references made to "porcelain fused to metal (VMK)" and then you think, I understand PFM; where does VMK come from; what does it mean? Well I found the answer a few links after arriving at this page so thought I'd come back and provide a real answer. Here's the website that gave me my answer:

Who would be a member of the American Dental Association is it a retired dentist a dentist student or a dentist patient?

A retired dentist. Just because they retire doesn't mean they lose their accreditation. Those are professional boards that certify you meet their requirements. You've met the requirement. A dental student is still a student and therefore doesn't qualify for accreditation as they're not licensed dentists. Lastly, why would the patient have an accreditation unless they're a dentist themselves?

Does a participating Aetna PPOPDN dentist have the right to receive payments from the patient that exceed the insurance copay Aetna has assigned to a service?

Your dentist should only be charging you the difference between the Aetna allowed fee for the exact service you are getting and the amount that aetna pays to him. The reason I say exact service is because sometimes the insurance companies do what's called downcode, which is basically paying on a code that is similar to what you are having done but the charge is lower. You would still be charged by the dentist the more expensive fee and have to pay the difference. For example if you were getting a tooth colored filling (1 suface): 1 surface filling: (Normal Dr.'s Fee) =$225 1 surface composite: Aetna Fee (not true amounts) =$100 Insurance says they will pay as if it were the silver= 80% of $30= $24 Your total copay =$76. Even though the insurance company only considered that they would pay for a silver filling, y ou are responsible for the dif between the true service and their portion. Your doctor can not still charge you the $225
