Preparation Is key

Preparation is everything. Dr. Salama says, “My biggest failure will never be a lack of preparation. I think it’s more important.”

Less Painful Than a Bone Graft

When we do All-On-X and angle the implants and give them the implants or even with zygo and pterygoid implants, we hear patients come back because they’re not being grafted with less swelling and with less post-operative discomfort. So when people say to me, “Oh, that sounds really painful, All-On-X,” You know what? That sounds really painful. What I tell them surprisingly is that patients tell me that they don’t really feel the type of pain, discomfort or even swelling that they get from a standard dental surgical procedure.

You Need Bone

Dr. Salama says you need a certain amount of bone structure in order for implants to be placed when considering this kind of work.

More Youthful Appearance

‘By opening the bite, all of a sudden certain wrinkles go away, your face looks fuller, your face has more longevity and it looks more youthful in appearance. We can change the lower third of the face, both in fullness and in height immediately.” – Dr. Salama

Every Patient Is Different.

Every single patient is different from the others. Different people with different reasons result in different assessments.

Dental Implant Options For Those Without Bone

They just don’t have enough bone for us to work with. We can then use, as we said earlier, an extra-oral source like the cheekbones, zygomatic implants and pterygoid plates, which are behind the maxilla volmer process floor of the nose behind the front teeth. These areas can be used to anchor implants that can then support a prosthesis. This can be done but needs an extra amount of training.

All In a Day

“Patients could come in after years of neglect. After years of contemplating, should I do it? I don’t know enough about it. Can I afford it? Do I really want to go through all the discomfort and pain? Whatever things they talk themselves out of and in one day they can go from infection, pain and something they’re not proud of and immediately, in one sitting, in one day they will have a new set of teeth, even though if they make them, they may not be their finals they are functional, beautiful, and done in a day.” – Dr. Salama
