Update for those interested on the case I posted about not too long ago.

We went with custom milled locators from TruAbutment to angle correct. The case turned out really well!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Sometimes, patience is the best treatment plan.

As much as I love placing implants right after an extraction, sometimes biology needs a little time to work its magic. Here’s a case of an anterior tooth extraction where we decided to graft and wait rather than placing an implant immediately. Why? Because sometimes the…

Looking back at a case I did a few years ago, I’ve realized how much my approach has evolved.

I placed two implants in the posterior region using guided surgery. At the time, I chose a tissue punch technique because there was plenty of keratinized tissue, and it felt like the most minimally invasive option. The implants healed well, and the…

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…

Upper Anterior Implant Position

Good day everyone ! Recently I have placed an implant in the 23 region without using a guide. Patient has a prominent buccal exostosis and low smile line. However the bone apical to the bony exostosis is narrow. I made a mistake by focusing too much on getting the ideal screw channel axis and placed the implant too lingually.

While the…

Hey guys first time post. Ive bren trying to learn more about implants and doing my best to get better and better as a clinician.

The other day I placed an implant and tried to do a crestal sinus lift using the densah burs and allograft. The CBCT showed that i had about 6mm of bone till the sinus floor at site of the first molar. So I decided…

CUSTOM HEALING ABUTMENTS

Hey folks! Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!

I went down a custom healing abutment rabbit hole yesterday and wound up with a few lingering questions.

The protocol for immediate implants makes total sense.. but how can we make custom healing abutments for delayed implant placement?? Does anyone do this and have…

Not the best outcome… dont really know why. So I completed this implant with sinus bump using the Densah system about a month ago. Everything went pretty straightforward. Got my little lift and placed the implant with great (maybe too great) insertion torque it measured out at about 60ish but i remember wanting the implant just a little more…

Hello,

I recently placed an implant that I’m worried about the prognosis. My previous cases have all been free handed. I had my lab make a guide for this case. I ended up relying too much on the guide and placed the implant too close to the adjacent tooth (0.8mm). Has anyone else placed one this close and had it fail or be successfull? Im…

Hello everyone, wanted to ask a question that came to my mind. My colleague was doing a lateral window sinus lift after elevating the membrane, he mentioned he saw a small perforation in the mesial aspect. He then placed a resorbable collagen membrane like a parachute and compacted a little bit of bone not applying to much pressure. He did a…

Reply to Implant #8 complication

Hey man, thanks for sharing here! First off, no I don’t think you’re going to have to take this implant out. I think it’s gonna turn out just fine.

Secondly, you might not have as much bone as you think covering the implant. If that’s graft on top of the screw, it might resorb a few mm.

Be prepared to remove and shape bone a little bit for the…

Reply to Implant #8 complication

If there is enough bone and biology around it and the body heals well should be straightforward. You’ll just have to remove bone that heals over the top which is a good problem to have and it’s pretty straightforward.
