Gum Graft/Transplant for Dental Implants… Is It Necessary?
Gum Graft/Transplant for Dental Implants… Is It Necessary? IT IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO SUCCESS! When talking about dental implants most people focus on the bone alone. The bone sets the tone, but the (gum) tissue is the issue. I get 100s of questions asking if a gum graft should be done at the […]
Big Bone Graft For Molars
This patient presented to my office in Burbank, CA after seeing numerous “dental implant dentists.” He was told that implants are not possible by three different providers! Bone Loss Needs Large Graft The preoperative image shows that he has very skinny bone in the area where the teeth were lost many years ago. The bone […]
Zygomatic Implant Planning -Ramsey Amin DDS -Burbank
Planning zygomatic implants in 3D is one of the most important parts of the diagnostic process. In this video you can see how I placed a quad zygoma… Meaning four zygomatic dental implants for an upper jaw that has literally no bone. The implants are kind of laying on the side of the jaw near […]
Dental Implants Are NOT Permanent! Redo’s revisions -The TRUTH!
Dental Implants Are Not Permanent! MUST WATCH Wow… This is a lot to digest but worth watching for a few minutes. About 35% of my practice is devoted to redo’s/revisions of failing implants, bone grafts and implant crowns/bridges.

Socket Shield for Dental Implants- What Should You Know?

In implant dentistry this is called “AP spread” which means anterior/posterior spread. Just as important as the number of implants is the position of the […]
PENICILLIN ALLERGY AND DENTAL IMPLANTS
Do you think you have a penicillin allergy? Did your mom or dad tell you that you have an allergy to penicillin, but you don’t really know? The penicillin group of antibiotics works really well for dental implant and bone grafting procedures. In fact, patients who are not treated with the penicillin type of antibiotics, […]
Dental Implant Too Shallow Complication…Not Deep Enough
This is a great example of a dental implant that is placed too shallow. You want your dental implant perfectly placed. “Perfect implant placement is impossible.” In reality, there are small errors that have no clinical effect on your implant. Even dental implants that are placed with computer guided surgery have a certain degree of […]
Zygomatic Lip and Face Support – Ramsey Amin DDS
This patient I treated in Burbank, CA has no bone on the upper jaw. You can see that she was unable to wear a denture. Her face would cave in right to the bottom of the nose! I placed four zygomatic implants (quad zygoma) with a fixed bridge that she does not need to remove…ever. […]
