An insufficient width and thickness of bone at the alveolar ridge makes it impossible for the placement of a traditional sized dental implant. Therefore, a ridge splitting procedure is performed along with a ridge expansion for the localized implant site resulting in adequate stability and prolonged implant health as a

For this particular patient, not only is the patient missing some anterior (front) teeth but is also lacking the supporting bone along with the soft gum tissue. In cases where patients chooses NOT to restore the hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue (gum) by traditional means (i.e., surgery) then they

This patient decided to extract all of his upper teeth and to get a full-arch screw-retained implant prosthesis. For this patient, no vertical bone reduction was necessary and the patient was even more happier that this was not needed or performed. Instead, only the teeth that are missing were needed

An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed followed by the placement of bone grafting material. Next, a dental implant along with the restorative components (implant abutment and crown) are placed to complete the overall treatment for this particular implant site.

This patient has been missing most of his upper teeth for many years now and as a result does not have an adequate amount of bone for dental implants to fulfill the criteria of a full-arch implant prosthesis. Therefore, bilateral sinus lifts or sinus elevations, ridge splitting procedures, and bone

The patient has severe generalized periodontal disease (bone loss) but only wishes to address his immediate concern which are two extremely loose teeth in the front of his lower mouth. At the current time, the patient chooses only to extract the 2 loose teeth and to replace them with two

The patient has suffered an accident as a child and as a result have had his tooth knocked out. The many years of having a missing tooth at the site has resulted in the deterioration of bone volume in all dimensions as well as the closing of the tooth gap.

A sinus lift is performed through a “lateral window” created at the level of the sinus cavity. The sinus or schneiderian membrane is then elevated and bone grafting material is added to the area of the proposed dental implant site. The dental implant is then placed and allowed to heal.
