MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION
Today is tooth day.
I get the old one taken out and a new one put into my upper partial.
I told you that I had switched to a high tech, high energy, highly focused dental operation.
The first time out made my head spin.
But this time I was ready.
It is a two step process.
I went in this morning to have an impression made of my lower and upper bites.
Then I go back this afternoon and have the tooth out.
My partial will be ready for immediate installation with the new artificial tooth in place.
This is amazing to me.
My guy who worked alone had to send his work out so I would be 3 or 4 days with out the partial.
I guess it is all done in the guy's office.
Dr. Bruno.
That is his first name; a Quebecois.
I went a bit early because the weather has been bad here and road water can be a problem.
I got there about 15 minute early. Went to the john. Stood in a very short line for intake.
They came and got me almost immediately and I went into the chair.
I thought maybe a technician would do it but, no, Dr. Bruno himself was on the case.
They did the work, I got out of the chair, and went out the door to the parking lot.
I looked at my watch.
It was 8AM. Just the time of my appointment.
Pretty good.
I like this, I think.
I would, of course, rather the work did not have to be done but, since it does, I am happy to be into a one shop operation. They do everything but braces.
And I like him.
He is even a bit arrogant which I like as well.
The guy I just came from wasn't feeling too good about himself over the past year.
Not a good prerequisite for a dentist.
Dr. Bruno likes himself and likes his work.
