A female patient lacks the necessary bone thickness (alveolar ridge width) to support regular size dental implants. Therefore, a ridge splitting procedure (RSP) is performed so that 6 standard platform (regular size) endosteal or root-form implants could be placed and not resort to using narrow platform (narrow size) implants which has a lower survival rate […]

A female patient has been very unfortunate with her lower complete denture that she currently wears since they don’t stay on in her mouth. She states that she cannot use them when she eats and that it moves around in her mouth when she speaks. She says she is looking for a more stable prosthesis […]

This patient was involved in an accident and, as a result, broke his left anterior central incisor tooth. The tooth was determined to be unsavable and will need to be extracted and to be immediately replaced with a dental implant and restoration (crown). In general, fresh tooth extraction sockets will not provide the available bone […]

This is a 76 year old patient that has failing teeth in her upper arch due to many years of neglect. She finally decided to extract all of her upper teeth and to get a full-arch nonremovable or fixed implant segmented bridge prosthesis in zirconia material but did not want any vertical bone reduction performed […]

This particular patient wishes to get a implant in the molar region but unfortunately, does not have enough bone to support it. Currently, the amount of bone in the vertical dimension that the patient has is 2 mm. Therefore, an increase in bone volume must be established first before an implant can be placed. This is […]

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 to be restored – not […]

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 grafting procedures were all performed […]

A patient with recurrent pain and infection from a tooth that had been previously had root canal therapy and retreatment from another clinic decides that enough is enough and finally decides to extract the tooth. The tooth is extracted and the tooth socket is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected of any remaining bacteria. An implant site […]
