Big Bone Graft Missing All Molars And One Bicuspid – Ramsey Amin DDS Case Review
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!

Socket Shield for Dental Implants- What Should You Know?
“Socket shield” for dental implants is a hot topic. It’s part of a greater group of procedures called “partial extraction therapy.” Basically part of your tooth is kept rather than extracting your entire tooth!! It may sound weird to you to keep part of a tooth that is getting extracted, but it has its merits. […]
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?

Complications- Dental Implants Break!
Not my patient and not my implant! Some dental implants are very thin at the top. Many people believe that a conical connection is a better connection for the abutment and tooth. The problem with that style of implant is this happens a lot… Fracture! Obviously this is unrepairable and you have to start all […]
