There are not many books on dental implants for the consumer. Some of the ones I have seen contain just drawings and illustrations. Others technically describe the implant process in textbook format with limited photographs and illustrations. Most are written as if the author was talking to a ten-year-old. None of the books will describe to you the thought process that must occur to treatment plan each and every implant case. And none of the books will show you the detailed photographs shown here, or address the artistry involved in the implant process. Implant dentistry is the single most technically advanced way of replacing missing teeth. I have performed this procedure for over fifteen years with great success. I have documented (with photographs) hundreds of implant cases and have presented my work to dentists at seminars numerous times over the last fifteen years. However, with the good comes some bad. If implant dentistry is not planned well, the results can be disappointing to disastrous. After years of explaining the implant process to hundreds of patients, and dentists, I finally decided to put all of my knowledge and experience together in a book that describes the implant process completely. I was tired of hearing comments, such as: "implants don't work" or "my neighbor had implants and they all failed". Most patients do not understand what they are going to experience. I show you this in detail and I tell you the truth. Remember, the implant process contains a surgical procedure which requires a high degree of skill and knowledge. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. But before the surgical procedure can be done, a lot of planning must be performed. In fact, most of the planning must be done in the dental laboratory. I explain this in detail. One more very important note: I am not endorsed by any implant manufacturer or dental company and I have not received any money from any company or individual to write this book.
