Since she’s paused her Prolia, it’s generally a good idea to remove the tooth soon after that to avoid complications. But definitely recommend checking in with her managing physician to make sure everyone’s on the same page about timing and any other precautions. This way, we can ensure a smooth process for her!

Implants are NOT teeth, let me explain…

Dental implants can not survive without sufficient bone and biology within the patients mouth. Teeth can survive and even thrive with as little as a 1/4 or a 1/2mm of bone present on the buccal or facial plate; an implant generally will not. It is imperative to plan the proper bone and biology to surround…

Here is an update from the previous post…

This shows how we dealt with the complication of a buccal perforation. Luckily, the patient had sufficient width so we removed the implant and placed another implant lingual to that site with better buccal lingual agulation. We then bone grafted the site and perforation and secured a resorbable collagen…

Looks good, right?!? Not once you see the cbct and create a larger full thickness flap. What would you do here? What are your options? This happened during one of our live surgery courses. Please leave a comment below on what you would do and a couple options we may have. After I recieve several comments I will post a follow up post next week…

This was a tough case with a large through-and-through defect on an upper central incisor. After the area was throughly cleansed I grafted using mineralized cortical particulate with CGF/PRF protocols. A thick collegen resorbable membrane was secured with membrane stabilizing sutures and primary closure achieved with a nonresorbable PTFE…

I have a patient who looks like a good implant candidate for a mandibular overdenture.

I’ve never done one before but the ridge width is adequate and the patient appears to have enough interocclusal space. Immediate were made about 5 months ago.

My question is, when deciding where to place the implants, do you guys routinely make a large flap…

Hello everyone,

Also if implants are…

Here’s a case to follow up on our immediate implant placement discussion this past Monday. I’m not a huge fan of having to do a fixed temporary crown chair side if I don’t have to but I want the benefits of it and not the risk of the patient biting into something that can compromise the surgery. So, many times I’ll do these custom healing…

When doing a lateral sinus lift like you were talking about yesterday, have you encountered an intrabony artery? And if you have, what is your preferred way of managing bleeding complications? Thank you!
