Digitally Guided Implant Dentistry
Implantology
Although the study and practice of implant dentistry is not a recognized specialty by the American Dental Association, years of training beyond dental school by an accredited specialty program with a focus on Implant Dentistry is recommended as proper training for clinicians to become proficient in treatment planning, surgical placement, and restoration of implants.
Prosthodontics is the only specialty recognized by the ADA to provide training in treatment planning, surgical placement, and prosthetic restoration of dental and maxillofacial implants and prostheses.

Implant Dentistry
It starts with the final restoration in mind
Implant Dentistry
It starts with the final restoration in mind
The art of treatment planning for implant placement starts with the final restoration in mind. The restorative dentist diligently measures and often provides a diagnostic wax up of the final functional and esthetic restoration before the implants are surgically placed. This information is usually relayed to the surgical specialist to place the implant fixture. The patient then returns to the restorative dentist for the final restoration.
The advantage of a clinician proficient in both the prosthetic and surgical aspects of implant dentistry is a streamlined treatment protocol with less confusion and hassle for the clinicians and patients involved.
Selecting the proper clinician for implant therapy is often a confusing task for patients. Adding to the challenge of dentist selection is the variation in the pricing of dental implants. A deciding factor in selection of the right dentist for the job is their experience and proficiency in their specialty.
Implant dentistry is a complex field encompassing both surgical and prosthetic components. In addition, the art of providing patients with the final esthetic results is of utmost importance. The patient's decision on pricing implant therapy should include the proficiency of the clinician and their ability to provide the proper diagnosis and treatment.
esthetic Dentistry
esthetic Dentistry
Improvement in our appearance is more than white and uniformly colored teeth and esthetic dentistry is more than just about looks. Truly natural restorations match the patient's facial esthetics, personality, and skin tone and provide a depth of reflection that mimic the natural tooth structure. A Prosthodontist teaming with the best lab technology can create restorations that fit technically and visually.
As we age, our teeth are worn resulting in the loss of balance in the lower third of the face. A comprehensive esthetic workup allows the clinician to diagnose proper balance between the height and length of teeth and create the harmony between the teeth and the lower third of the face. True esthetics lies in this balance created by replacing the worn tooth structure to the proper shape, length, and color.

Planning
Treatment plan
In the event that a patient has suffered from breakdown of many or all teeth, a full mouth reconstruction is required to restore the patient to their natural esthetics and function. The treatment plan is of utmost importance and follows a comprehensive exam which may include radiographs, a cone beam computed tomography scan, and pictures.
Treatment
execution
Treatment of patients requiring full mouth reconstruction is multifactorial. Creating a blend of proper esthetics and function is challenging and gratifying for both clinician and patient.
Prosthodontists have three and up to five years of training beyond the four years of dental school and are experts in full mouth reconstruction.
Results
functionality
Form follows function. Prosthodontics is the specialty of dentistry with an emphasis on creating harmony between the temporomandibular joints and teeth. Once this harmony is created, the form and esthetics of teeth follows the balance and functionality of the components that make up our teeth and joints. The longevity of the restorations lies on the balance of form and function.
