After all, having so many choices can make things even more confusing, so we’ve compiled some information below to help you make the right decision. Resource

When I graduated from dental school, I had very limited exposure to implant dentistry. At the time, the use of dental implants was mentioned in theory to us as dental students, but no detailed academic information nor practical hands-on clinical experience was offered in the course components of the school curriculum. When I was doing my first GPR at the VAMC San Diego, the attending prosthodontist treated many patients using implants, and I got the opportunity to remove a lot of failed blade implants. Truthfully, my opinion of dental implants was not very good at the time. It was when I entered my GPR II at the VAMC in West Los Angeles that the world of implant dentistry came alive for me. We had both periodontal and prosthodontic programs in our department. Along with our daily case reviews, I and my co-resident from the VA attended a year-long series of implant lectures at the University of California, Los Angeles, along with placing many implants from different manufacturers in our clinic. I was hooked and never looked back!

I have been in clinical practice for the past 33 years and have experienced much success that can be attributed to good communication between my dental laboratory technicians and me, and the journey included learning from any mistakes made along the way as well. Over my career, I also founded several live-patient aesthetic programs that paired up the attending clinicians with ceramists, teaching and emphasizing a collaborative approach to dentistry. In addition, I have had the valuable experience of being the director of education at Utah Valley Dental Lab for the past 3 years. My role there is to act as a liaison between the clinicians and ceramists. This has allowed me to directly witness the importance of great doctor-technician communication skills and the compromises that can and will occur with poor, little, or even no communication.
