He is a graduate of the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry and has lectured on mini dental implants at ADA National Meeting, CDS Midwinter Meetings, and world-wide.

Single and Multiple Tooth Replacements. Increased demands for the functional and esthetic replacement of missing teeth have pushed mini dental implants (small diameter implants) to the forefront of clinical practice. The exciting treatment concept of mini dental implants can be an integral part of the general dental practice. The dentist has the ability to restore patient’s teeth in one appointment without the need to remove healthy tooth structure. This simple technique features the use of a surgical stent for the placement of the mini dental implant and the restoration(s) in the same appointment. These techniques allow the dental profession to provide excellent quality restorations at affordable fees to patients.

Denture Stabilization Procedures

Stabilized dentures are more comfortable and functional as they are designed to stay in place and serve as a supportive, natural looking replacement for missing teeth.  Placement with mini dental implants provides patients with the gratifying confidence that their dentures will not move or fall out while eating or speaking, while dentists benefit from the simple and highly efficient one hour appointment procedure.
