Implants Are a Pain to Deal With.

More than a few restorative doctors have said this... and I know where this thinking originates—the mid-1980s. Back then, implant choices were fewer and success rates were a great deal lower. In addition, component parts were more confusing and not as good as what we have now. But all of that is over!

Implants have come a long way since then. In our Total Implant Success™ Management and Referral Marketing Program, we recommend that implant doctors become a source of education for restorative doctors. It is vital at all times to keep the lines of communication open between the surgical and restorative offices.

From simplified components to immediate load cases, implants have
never been such a great choice for edentulous patients as now. In fact, success rates for implants are approximately 95%. I challenge you to find many medical surgical procedures that can claim a success rate that high!
