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

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

The patient lacks adequate bone height for placement of dental implants in the posterior region in the upper arch on the right side. Therefore, a sinus elevation (or sinus lift) via an external approach is required to allow the placement of bone graft material for the intention of generating new

A patient wishes to have teeth for the upper anterior segment of the mouth but does not want to resort to wearing any type of removable denture. Unfortunately, the width of the anterior alveolar bone is only 2-3 mm thick and will not be able to accommodate any of the

For this particular patient, not only is the patient missing some anterior (front) teeth but is also lacking the supporting bone along with the soft gum tissue. In cases where patients chooses NOT to restore the hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue (gum) by traditional means (i.e., surgery) then they

This patient has been missing most of his upper teeth for many years now and as a result does not have an adequate amount of bone for dental implants to fulfill the criteria of a full-arch implant prosthesis. Therefore, bilateral sinus lifts or sinus elevations, ridge splitting procedures, and bone

The patient currently wears an “old” lower complete denture and over time the denture has become loose due to the resorption of the alveolar bone as result from the natural aging process and from the consistent irritation of his current ill-fitting oral prosthesis. The patient’s concern are the costs and

A tooth with severe decay is extracted and a dental implant is immediately placed. The site is finally restored with a dental implant crown. The space of the extraction site has closed over time due to the severe decay of the tooth so therefore the size (interdental space or “lenght”)

This patient wants a tooth gap in the mouth to be filled with a dental implant and implant crown. This case is straightforward since this is a healed site (the tooth had been extracted over a year ago), there is available bone in all 3 dimensions (sufficient bone width, height,

The tooth #8 has to be extracted due to severe tooth decay which caused the tooth to gradually deteriorate over time. The site is then placed with a standard sized endosteal or root-form dental implant followed by an implant crown oral prosthetic.
