There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

way too expensive. plus now you can get a color matched ceramic crown in the same appointment you get a root canal. with cast metal fillings you have to send a mold to a foundry and wait for postage twice.
I don't know about crowns, but when I looked into getting an implant, the gold option was actually cheaper than the colour matched one, because they very specifically do not have to do the work of colour matching the gold. But I'm sure it varies from place to place
god man i’d love that. my dad (bench jeweler) asked his dentist where he had his castings done, called the foundry and asked em to send it to him instead of the dentist, and he set a diamond in the face of it.
when he got to his appointment for the crown his dentist met him in the waiting room like “hey that crown hasn’t come in yet” and he just handed it to him. i wanna do the same thing with a titanium implant and a lumogarnet!
