Thursday Thirteen #447

13 of the most common dental procedures. I'm in the midst of another dental adventure. I had a dual crown lengthening in December and if it heals according to plan,  I'll have a pair of new, permanent crowns before the end of February. 

 

This inspired me to find out what happens to most patients when they settle into the dentist's chair. These are the procedures mentioned most (beyond routine exams, x-rays and cleaning):

1. Filling

2. Root canal

3. Crowns

4. Implants

5. Extractions

6. Bridges

7. Scale and polish 

8. Fitting dentures

9. Whitening

10. Veneers

11. Sealants

12. Bonding

13. Night guards

Did you spend much time in the dentist's chair in 2025?
