Rather than flood Digital Enamel with some pretty bread and butter crown cases, I thought I would post all in one long post. At Brighterwey, a dental clinic that serves the homeless, low income Vets and the working poor, 3shape donated 5 Trios machines. Amman Girbach donated a Ceramill completely lab system, but we haven’t…

I know a lot of people that really like ‘Screw-mentable” restorations. I just feel like a moron saying “Screw-mentable.” But in a nutshell, in implants we have cemented restorations, with the drawback of having to clean up cement sub gingival.

When Ivoclar first came out with their Emax abutment block, I was determined to do all implant restorations in house. I didn’t care that it took 2.5 hours, I was determined. Over time I have taken a bit of a staged approach and scanned and maybe milled and tried in on day one and then…

I don’t think I will ever get tired of placing implants. Just the overall coolness of taking someone from no teeth to having a full set is like nothing else we do in dentistry. If you are not placing implants you really should look at courses like Justin Moody’s Implant Pathway. They do live courses…

It is cool to see full mouth cases however I am a simple, single tooth dentist and the single implant and CEREC crown is what I do day in and day out. I have always placed my implants just below the crest, but saw a few lecturers placing their implants more and more sub crestal.…
