The proposed implant site does not have adequate bone width or thickness for the placement of a traditional sized implant; therefore, a bone augmentation procedure must be performed. For this patient, a ridge splitting procedure is selected and performed at the very narrow space followed by the expansion of the

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

For this patient, all the remaining natural teeth are extracted, alveoloplasty (reduction and contouring) of the bony alveolar ridge is performed, 8 dental implants (traditional endosteal or root-form implants) are then placed, and finally an oral prosthesis in this case, a full-arch fixed (screw-retained) implant prosthesis (i.e., implant bridge) is

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

A patient with recurrent pain and infection from a tooth that had been previously had root canal therapy and retreatment from another clinic decides that enough is enough and finally decides to extract the tooth. The tooth is extracted and the tooth socket is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected of any

The patient has been involved in an accident that had occurred in the patient’s youth affecting two teeth in the front of the mouth. As a result, one tooth was removed while the second tooth remained but lacked the bone to support it. Over time, the space has “closed up”
