A tooth fracture has occurred on tooth #13 along with the presence extensive decay on tooth #14 resulting in the extraction of both teeth. Two implants are immediately placed into the site and allowed to heal for a desired period of time before they are functionally loaded with implant abutments and crowns.

The patient is congenitally missing a central incisor and as a result there is space closure resulting in insufficient space for an ideal size tooth at the site. In addition, since the patient is born without this tooth there is also deficient quantity of bone at the same site. Therefore, orthodontic treatment needed to be […]

The patient has a fractured tooth #7 and therefore is extracted. A dental implant is then placed (restoration) on the same day of the extraction of the tooth. An abutment and implant crown is then connected to the implant.

Due to many years of having missing teeth at the proposed dental implant site the bone has deteriorated. The is the direct result of the lack of internal stimulation within the bone which results in the loss of bone volume which disallows the placement of traditional sized implants in this region. In order to place […]

The patient has a very thin alveolar ridge (4 mm) that was not able to allow placement of the desired size dental implants without some type of bone augmentation procedure to increase the bone width or thickness. Therefore, a ridge splitting procedure was performed involving cutting the bone beginning from the crest of the ridge […]

An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed by creating an access hole from the side of the sinus cavity intraorally and carefully elevating or lifting of the sinus or schneiderian membrane. Once lifted, a mixture of autogenous bone (autograft) along with bone substitute material (BSM) is placed under the membrane at the proposed […]
