Re: Teeth in an Hour

find out where and how many implants he will be placing in your mouth.
are you missing all your teeth or some of them? if some, then list
where and how they were lost. in addition, what kind of bone graft was
performed and with what material? also, how long has it been allowed
to mature and do you plan to on any further bone or tissue grafts?
these are just some of the questions one needs to know.

implant locations where and how many? for example, four on top and four
on bottom? etc.

i have been demo'ed this method and know about it.

i have not had any patients requesting it.

my prefered method for patients totally missing all their teeth is to
place the implants (after any bone and soft tissue grafts have healed
and matured) and allow them to integrate (rest) for the time determined
by the placement surgeon. after the healing time, i have the surgeon
place special attachments onto the implants and i fabricate teeth on
top of them. whether they are permanent or removable is up to the
patient and the fee they are willing to pay.

the patient never goes without teeth as i fabricate them traditional
dentures that are altered to alow the implants to heal.

hope this helps. i rarely give teeth advice on the net but you seem
confused, allowing others to dictate your treatment, so i just wanted
to clarify some things for you.
