Why do most dentists take credit for crowns and other?

Why do most dentists take credit for crowns and other?
i give mad props to my lab tech. he's the artist.





i take the cedit because i'm smarter, more talented, more educated, work harder, stress over your pain, took the financial risk just to put up with your a$$, and most importantly, have the resposiblity not to make a mistake that ends in your death.

Reply:The tech makes the restoration on the prescription of the dentist. Without the licensed dentist to prepare the tooth and insert the restoration, the technician would have no job in the first place. It's up to ME to tell the tech exactly what I want and then I hope they interpret it the way I meant it.





Having said that, I give the technician all due credit when things are right. They share the blame when things are wrong, too. When the patient asks why they have to wait 3 weeks for their new crown, I tell them that it has to be sent to the lab to be made just for them.
