CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?!

When you come to our Implant Center, you get UNBREAKABLE monolithic zirconium crowns (which are manufactured on-site at our CAD/CAM facility) as opposed to traditional hand casted porcelain fused to metal crowns.

A few tips on deciding on a dentist for your implant treatment

Dear Friends and Patients,

A few tips on deciding on a dentist for your implant treatment. Ask the following questions

1. Does the dentist have a 3D Cat Scan machine?
   Performing implant dentistry based on 2D (traditional x-rays) is considered below standard of care, as it results in surgical complications.


2. Is implant dentistry the only focus of the dentist?


3. Does the dentist perform all aspects of implant dentistry? Or just one part of it?


4. Does the dentist have an onsite dental implant lab?


5. Is the dentist CAD/CAM savvy?

Single implant with GBR maxillary lateral incisor

60 year old lady, referred for implant placement in the maxillary right lateral incisor region. Favourable IHB, horizontal bone & soft tissue defect Seibert's Class 1. Ridge width at the crest 2.5mm, with a concave profile apically, thereby precluding ridge expansion and splitting. Implant placed against the palatal plate after tapping to prevent the push of the plate, and the resultant dehiscence was about 7-8 mm. Grafted using Autogenous chips as the first layer on the implant, followed by an Alloplast putty, and a pericardium membrane before achieving tension free primary closure. The last pictures are of 1 year follow up ( which was almost a year ago)

Dr. Jain's recommendation

Excellent result. I think putty really holds the graft in place and is responsible for this really really nice result. Very well done.

At our implant center, we place a screw retained temporary tooth also at the same time along with a gum graft (sectg) and if the case was really really bad, we add bmp also.(xxs bottle for $675, if bought as a six pack from medtronics).

So the patient always(almost always) leaves with a temp tooth and gets numbed only once....kind of a brand statement.

The job becomes a lot more labor some, but the cosmetics is really impressive because with this technique gum/sulcus/interproximal papilla enjoy 3 to 4 months of maturation around the contours of the temp tooth.

It is always inspiring to see results like this.
