Building Your Personal Brand as a Local Dentist: The Best Approach
Let’s talk about personal branding as a local dentist. It’s not just about being good at what you do—although that’s obviously important. I’ll argue it’s actually MORE important as a business for people to like you, trust you, and feel connected to you, both inside and…

I like this approach. Can we dig into how to make these visits a success?
What has worked for me in the past is sending letters to local dentists. In the letter I introduce myself and some of my services that they might not provide.
I have had mixed results from personal visits when I visit other dental offices
Often the front desk is skeptical…

I personally don’t just pop into other offices, but a lot of other dentist and specialist have stopped by and visited my office in the very beginning. It’s nice when they bring a sweet treat for the team! I’m general though! Probably different for specialists!

hey Ahmad,
I just now saw your post and hopefully, you haven’t done it yet. A few tips from someone who has completed 1,000+ of these over-denture surgeries + restoring:
1) I would make sure you do good alveoplasty – think back to dental school when we made wax rims: exactly like that, NO undercuts. I use the “finger swipe” test – as in, after…

Case here for a maxillary partial overdenture. How do these positions look prosthetically in respect to their existing partial? I placed them as best I could. Also how far subcrestal should I am for? 1-2mm?
-
These positions look okay to me–but i might suggest some slight modification. So, because this is a partial, the implants don’t necessarily need to follow the angulation of the teeth.
Instead, the things to try to optimize for aside from bone availability are:
1. Parallelism between the fixtures. It would be great to try to get them…
-
That said, you don’t want those anterior implants to come out too far on the palate because you’ll run out of restorative space. It’s a balance.
One solution for the anterior might be to use some angled locators on those. They fix that up real quick.
2mm subcrestal would be good. Hardest thing on this case will be making sure you have…

Hı everyone,I couldnt understand aim of these blue lines.Can you explain further?
-
The blue lines on a stacked implant guide are like the dimple on BioHorizons implants, they serve a similar purpose—they help ensure the implant is placed in the correct orientation, a process called “timing.” These markers act as guides to align the implant properly in the bone, ensuring that the connection where the crown or restoration… Read more

Has anyone had any experience removing mini implants? Any tips or recommendations. These are 3M small diameter 2.4X10.

I’ll record my procedure for you. Often the come right out with the mini implant insertion tool. You just turn it counterclockwise. 🤞🏼

Sorry if this is a double post. I was wondering if this case should be better splinted or with separate crowns. I did look at the research and it seems splinted crowns are better. But I’m just worried as there is already bone loss around the mesial implant would it be better to do separate crowns so she can clean it better
-
Hey Chris, thanks for your post! I would leave these UNsplinted. Here’s why:
There is already some bone loss at those implant sites and if you splint those, the situation can get worse as the patient wont be able to clean them as effectively. (What you said)
I can’t think of a benefit to splinting them in this case.
Also, you might have a…

Thanks again Ivan. Much appreciated

Remember if you think you are having a bad day, think about this dentist. 😳

this one’s a doozy, not sure what I would do in this case !
-
This is really crazy. Thankfully I’ve never had to deal with that myself but in general you have to open up a window and get it out of these. When it’s that high up that’s a bit crazier

Hi all, Im trying to place a single unit #13. Due to boneloss, it looks like the buccal side is longer than the palatal side. If I were to place #13 completely submerged, 1mm subcrestal on the lingual side, it looks like it would be 2.2mm subcrestal on the buccal side. Should I shave down 1mm of the buccal bone to make it more even?
If so, do…

I would not shave down anything. If needed at time of uncover you can remove any bone around the cover screw as needed. That being said I always shoot for 2mm subcrestal to create enough running room for my crown. You want 4mm from top of tissue to implant platform. This is the cornerstone of ZBLC.

Hey Nick, thanks for your input! What does ZBLC stand for?
