When implants become fully integrated with lower jawbone porcelain teeth will replace temporaries made from composite resin. Footage provided by Dr. Ara Nazarian of Troy, MI
GRAPHIC - About a 2 minute video demonstrating how specialized instruments are used to augment and create new width and substance to thinning jawbones. The bony ridge is carefully split to accommodate precision sized implants and then fortified with bone graft material that quickly generates new healthy bone that is fully integrated with the patient's jawbone and the implant devices. Video footage created by Andrew Kelly, DDS of Clemmons, NC
A multimedia outline of how ridge splitting and bone compaction instruments improves the integrity of jawbone material as it is being prepared for dental implants. Practiced by only a few accomplished implantologists nationwide, ridge splitting can assure implant success for patients who have had a history of compromised jawbone mass. Implants for this patient (live surgery) were placed on upper and lower jaws. Material provided by Dr. Richard Winter of Milwaukee WI
Periodontal tunneling is a popular and effective grafting procedure to augment or replenish lost or compromised tissue. See how the gingival tissues are prepared for tunneling and the actual process of moving the graft material through the tunnel into precise locations. A proprietary suturing technique is used to create the normal snug fit for each anterior tooth while simultaneously raising the gum line higher, thereby reversing the appearance of a minor receding gum line. Video footage provided by Edward Brant, DDS, MS, Long Island, NY.
An animated demonstration of the Easy X-TRAC System that now provides dentists and dental specialists the ability to extract teeth with no bone loss, no tilting or twisting movements and, subsequently, no post-traumatic swelling. Additional benefits may include the the avoidance of needed bone restoration (grafting) and healing time of soft tissue.
Sports activities and automobile accidents are two of the most common causes of severe trauma to the anterior jaw and teeth. See how dental implant procedures incorporating GTR membranes and injectable bone graft products are used to refortify bone health for future implant tooth replacements. Footage created by Dr. Edward Brant of Long Island NY.
A live clip showing the use of minimally invasive atraumatic tooth extraction instruments that eliminate or minimize the usual bone loss that can occur with traditional tooth extractions. Watch basic pre-extraction procedures that include a small pilot hole and preliminary severing of ligaments. Extraction occurs literally within seconds. Recommended viewing for prospective implant patients.
Congenitally missing teeth are really not all that uncommon, representing two of the most common birth defects that occur in dentistry. Orthodontics and Maryland bridges are popular choices for treatment Dental implants however are the only products that stimulate and preserve jawbone in exactly the same fashion that Mother Nature does with natural teeth. See how congenitally missing teeth are prepared for modern dental implants. Footage created by Dr. Edward Brant of Long Island NY.
A short animation that demonstrates the drilling sequence protocol for traditional implants versus the NobelActiv implant device. Fewer drilling steps reduces surgical trauma and by virtue of the implant design, a tighter, autocompressive result is obtained.
Unique bone compression and redirection capabilities can make the difference for some patients becoming a candidate for implants. Special characteristics of an implant design that enable accomplished implant dentists and surgeons to effectively place implants in areas where bone has been compromised or marginalized.

WARNING - This video extremely GRAPHIC - The characteristics of jawbone frequently defines what type of bone grafting procedure will produce the best results in terms of predictability and long term endurance. In this video a male patient sustained an implant failure due to poor bone quality in the maxilla. It was determined that to augment the insufficient width and density of bone at the implant site, a solid piece of healthy bone would provide a solid foundation for recreating an "implant environment" that is second, only perhaps, to what mother nature provides. Surgery footage provided by Dr. Edward Brant of Long Island NY
WARNING - This video extremely GRAPHIC - This multimedia presentation is comprised of detailed still photography that outlines the steps and procedures in a more radical form of replacing bone in the jawbones that uses the best source of graft material... that of the patient. EXTREME CLOSEUP PHOTOGRAPHY shows the harvesting process of creating Chin Block Graft material that is subsequently used for rehabilitating and re-fortifying areas of the jawbone that are the weakest. provided by Dr. Richard Winter of Milwaukee WI
Implant failures are commonly caused by osseointegration failures that can be attributed to one or several complicating factors. Technologies do exist however for dentists, surgeons, periodontists and implantologists to objectively measure the amount and rate of osseointegration which is critical for determining when an implant should be loaded with the restoration crown(s) or prosthesis. Watch a animated clip demonstrating the Ostell Mentor device. Utilizing Resonance Frequency Pulses, it provides technical data that can have a dramatic impact on treatment success.
