PUBLIC APOLOGY & THANK YOU

I’ve created a lot over the years—my work, my art, my videos, even the silly songs I enjoy making. But through all of it, I’ve never publicly given proper credit to the One who gave me the ability to do any of it in the first place.

I want to apologize for that.

I know Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and I know God has carried me through every season of my life. I’m far from perfect. I’ve done wrong, I’ve done right, and I’ve learned from all of it. But deep down, I’ve always known that God would guide me and see me through.

So today, I’m taking a moment to give thanks where it truly belongs.

Thank You, God, for every talent, every idea, every opportunity, every blessing.

Everything I’ve created, everything I’ve shared, every good thing in my life—I owe it all to You.

And I apologize for not giving You glory first.

From this point forward, all honor and praise goes to God.

✨Another Beautiful Full Arch Case✨

We’re proud to share this stunning upper and lower digital full arch restoration — completed in just one week and two office visits.

➡️ Visit 1: Scans

➡️ Visit 2: Delivery

No jigs. No bites. No try-ins.

Just precise digital planning, seamless collaboration, and a handcrafted finish.

Two separate crowns were designed to conceal facial screw access, achieving a completely natural esthetic result.

Huge thanks to Eric Niederhauser for his continued mentorship and guidance, and to De’borah, who keeps absorbing knowledge like a sponge and continues to crush every challenge we hand her.

This case was an absolute home run from start to finish — proof that when craftsmanship meets digital efficiency, incredible things happen.

After photos coming soon!

Technology driven. Handcrafted with passion.

✨ Another Life-Changing Full Arch ✨

From immediate load with a conversion denture to the final restoration — what an amazing transformation!

It’s a great feeling knowing that we as technicians have the ability to change someone’s life like this through our craft.

Huge thanks to Eric Niederhauser for his continued mentorship and guidance with De’borah Stokes — she’s growing into an incredible technician and we couldn’t be prouder to have her on our team.

I’m truly grateful for the relationship Eric and I have built, working together to keep making technicians better and better every day.

🦷 CR ScrewEase – Coming Soon to a Tray Near You 🦷

Our first batches of CR ScrewEase are here!
This simple tool solves one of the biggest frustrations with open-tray impressions:
👉 It keeps screw channels open so impression material can’t block your access.

💡 Why it matters
• Prevents blocked channels
• Saves valuable chair time
• Reduces stress for dentist & lab

📦 Soft Opening Offer
We’re sending out free kits (just cover shipping).
The only catch? If you use it, we ask that you let us restore the case — that’s when we really get to wow you.

More photos & videos are on the way, but you can DM me today to reserve your kit.

⚡ CR ScrewEase — because small innovations make a big difference.

“Excited to finally share something we’ve been building for a long time — our CR PonticPro system. It’s designed to make temporaries simple and predictable for every dentist, analog or digital. We’re doing a soft opening and I’d love for some of you to try it.”

✨ Soft Launch: CR PonticPro is Here! ✨

We’re excited to announce the first CR PonticPro kits are ready!
This chairside pontic system makes temporaries simple, fast, and predictable — and it doesn’t matter if you’re analog or digital.

📦 For this soft launch, we’re sending out free kits (just cover shipping). In return, we ask two things:
1️⃣ Share your feedback and photos so we can keep improving.
2️⃣ If you use the kit, let Creative Restorations restore the case — that’s when we really get to wow you.

🎓 Even better — PonticPro will be placed in our local dental assisting colleges, so future assistants graduate already trained to make beautiful temporary bridges. Imagine hiring someone who can deliver strong, predictable temps on day one.

📸 More pictures and demos are coming soon, but if you’d like to try PonticPro now, DM me today to reserve your kit.

✨ Always Elevating. Our Everyday Challenge. ✨

We are very Proud of these cases-but even more proud of how much better they are about to get. For 15+ years, my good friend Eric Niedlhausser has pushed us past “good enough,” keeping us sharp and constantly improving. His unselfish guidance has shaped not only me, but now De’borah Stokes, who’s quickly becoming a true force in the lab. Through all the ups and downs with employees, we found a true diamond in the rough:Mrs. De’borah Stokes. She shows up every day eager to learn, asking the right questions, absorbing everything like a sponge. I’ve been pouring 34 years of full-service experience into her — both old school and new school — and with Eric’s guidance, she’s becoming a little “mini-me.”

Grateful for the teamwork, the critiques, and the constant growth.

Thank you, Eric Niedlhausser, for always raising the bar.

🚀 This Week’s Win at Creative Restorations 🚀

We took two ideas that started as solutions in the lab and turned them into branded products designed to make dentistry more efficient and predictable:

🦷 CR Pontic Pro™ – a ready-to-use pontic tooth library for creating esthetic bridge temporaries quickly and consistently.

🔩 CR ScrewEase™ – a simple solution for preserving space in open tray impressions, making implant workflows smoother for both doctors and labs.

Both of these tools grew out of the same mission we’ve had for 34+ years: combining technology + craftsmanship to solve real challenges for dentists, assistants, and labs.

✨ Excited to start sharing these innovations with the dental community!

Something big is coming to the dental lab world…

A program unlike anything you’ve seen before.

A program built to unite dentist offices and dental laboratories like never before.
We’re talking elevated skills, unstoppable workflows, and a shared standard of excellence that will last for generations.
This isn’t a trend.
This isn’t a quick fix.
This is forever. 🦷🔥

Stay tuned. 🦷🔥

Milled PMMA for Flex & Frameworks – Pro Tip

Dental friends—here’s a little gem from the lab:

When working on Flex partials, we always add a lingual or palatal mesh and bridge the teeth. Why? It reduces the amount of flex material around the facial surfaces of the pontics, which helps maintain their full visual size. No more “shrunken” pontics!

For cast partials with a lone replacement tooth, we design the lingual to extend over the pin and connect to the lingual finish line. This simple move adds strength and helps prevent single teeth from debonding.

🧠 CR TrayBite: Creative Thinking Meets Cutting-Edge Tech 🧠

Another creative day at Creative Restorations — where we don’t just follow workflows, we invent better ones.

A patient lost his immediate denture made two years ago. The doctor called asking what we needed to remake it. But thanks to how we archive and organize our CAD data, we already had everything we needed. 💾✨

Instead of starting from scratch, we pulled up the original digital denture and designed a custom CR tray directly from it — saving time and improving accuracy. This custom tray allowed the doctor to capture bite registration and a reline impression in one step.

💡 Bonus: We added 1mm tissue stops to ensure uniform thickness of impression material across the arch.

This kind of work isn’t luck — it’s decades of experience + modern technology + creative problem-solving. Most labs haven’t figured this out yet. But we have.
