I have the coolest dentist in the world, but he's all the way over here in California. He reads science fiction and he puts technology all over his face like a Borg and he makes your crown with a digital thingy and a little automagical three-dimensional lathe machine. He's a surfer, too, and rides his bike to work, but that's just regional details. And he gives the anesthetic in three parts, three different drugs, so it really doesn't hurt.
