Preparing For A Dental Implant
|
There are so many steps when preparing for dental implant placement. Not just choosing the correct type, size, and connection for the implant. But being ready for many different contingencies in-case something unexpected occurs during the surgery. Below are a few photos taken at the last implant pre-op prep for implant placement. Notice how many different choices there are. The box on the right is full of dental implant options: three sizes, four lengths, and about 20 different sulcus formers. This doesn’t include the different options for the permanent abutment. |

| This was a typical dental implant case, not a complicated case. The surgical prep time was over an hour with Doug Dodd. The surgery time was about an hour and three quarters. The case went very smoothly because of the pre-operative preparation. The best motto; over prepare for a smooth surgery. |
