Dental Implants

Dental implants are fast becoming a new standard of care for dentistry. With tissue esthetics improving, and the scope of application widening even to orthodontics, it is crucial for a practitioner to stay current on what is available. Choosing an implant system has to be more than marketing brochures and fancy meetings in Las Vegas. Placement of the implant requires knowledge of surface treatment, shape, compatible lengths, and diameter appropriate for the space involved. For the restorative dentist, the implant system must give a wide range of choices for fixed and removable prosthetics. Paramount to success are considerations such whether a Hader bar can be used or if it is possible to use a specialized custom abutment in an esthetically crucial anterior position. You can learn more about options and systems available in the products below.
