*Graphic Image Below* A patient wishes to upgrade to a full-arch fixed implant prosthesis after 2 of his natural teeth in the front of the mouth have been broken. The patient currently has 3 dental implants that had been recently placed but now wishes to improve on his smile and function. All of the upper […]

A “snap-on” oral prosthesis or removable implant overdenture is created from an old complete denture that the patient has been wearing for many years. Due to the lack of sufficient bone height above the inferior alveolar nerve in the posterior regions, dental implants are all placed in front of the mental foramina (the locations of […]

The width of the alveolar ridge is insufficient for an ideal dental implant placement of size 5.0 x 10 mm at this particular location in the mouth and as a result will require bone augmentation in order to restore the ridge with this choice of implants. The proper positioning of the implants are extremely crucial […]

The bone of the alveolar ridge is too thin to place 3 dental implants in the proper and ideal anatomical location of the lower jaw. By not being placed at the correct location there will be harmful offset loads (stress factors) resulting in biomechanical overloading to the prosthesis and implant leading to the eventual failure […]

This patient has a vertical and horizontal bone deficiency in the lower right quadrant of the mouth and wishes to replace his missing teeth with dental implants. There needs to be enough bone support for the implants in this area in order to prevent the restorative implant crowns from being “too tall” which will not […]

*Graphic Image Below* Patients can opt for flapless surgeries during the implant placement.  This would dramatically minimize post-operative pain and discomfort and greatly reduce the healing time following the procedure. For this particular patient, 10 teeth were extracted and 6 dental implants were immediately placed without making any surgical incisions or flaps. FLAPLESS SURGERIES can […]

This particular patient has a severely resorbed alveolar ridge for the upper arch and therefore needs bone augmentation (additive) before any dental implants could be placed. First, the bony ridge is expanded in width by means of a long-span ridge splitting procedure (RSP) followed by the placement of 6 dental implants. Bone grafting material, allograft, […]

The patient has been missing 2 teeth in the posterior region for many years now and as a result the bone volume has deteriorated in all 3 dimensions. In order to replace the missing teeth with dental implants the area will first require bone augmentation for implant support. As a result, bone is harvested and […]

The patient lacks adequate bone height for placement of dental implants in the posterior region in the upper arch on the right side. Therefore, a sinus elevation (or sinus lift) via an external approach is required to allow the placement of bone graft material for the intention of generating new bone. In addition, two implants […]

A patient wishes to have teeth for the upper anterior segment of the mouth but does not want to resort to wearing any type of removable denture. Unfortunately, the width of the anterior alveolar bone is only 2-3 mm thick and will not be able to accommodate any of the desired implant sizes. As a […]
