[QUOTE="lcmlabforum, post: 93184, member: 3238"] BTW - you have every reason to be worried. Expectations already set too high at the beginning. Listen to AJEL about telling her teeth and time has to be paid for. Many patients are not looking to have great looking teeth or smile, but to regain their youth. You have a fountain in your lab to do that? I sure don't and refuse to yield to those expectations that I cannot meet because I don't have a time machine. Those I work with know I take lots of time for natural set up, etc. But I have learned to not set everyone up for disappointment and frustrations up front. Identify EXACTLY what the goals and objective is up front - 'perfect look' means nothing. I have played that game for someone who wanted that in an immediate denture lip fullness, and then 7 try-ins because 'it did not look just right'. If the patient cannot pin down what they are looking for at the beginning other than some vague descriptions, I would hesitate to start any work at all. IF not, set a limit of 3 attempts and after that all bets are off. Good luck, I know we all try our best, but be careful of being pulled into a situation that you cannot win. LCM [/QUOTE]
