There are a couple different ways to look the situation that occurs when a second impression has to be taken for a crown, denture or some other appliance. The patient may feel that the dentist is not skilled enough to get the impression the first time. The fact is, on some occasions a second impression may be needed to get it right! If this is the case you have a dentist who cares about quality and won't proceed with a second-rate product. Of course it is best to get it perfect the first time, but sometimes a second is necessary to guarantee the best finished product.
