DENTAL IMPLANTS are effective, natural looking replacements for missing teeth.  They are an exciting option which has dramatically enhanced the lives of millions of people.   AT RDD our experience involves the fabrication of full fixed restorations, over-dentures, bridges, and single units.

DENTAL IMPLANTS are a team approach that involves the surgical specialist, the restorative dentist and the dental laboratory. 

A Dental Evaluation helps the dental team to determine if the patient is a good candidate for implants and, if so, the implant system best suited for the treatment plan. 

At RDD we specialize in all the major brands of dental implants including: Astra-Tech, Atlantis, BioHorizon, Biomet 3I, Bicon, Calcitek, Nobel Biocare/Branemark, Strauman ITI, and Zimmer.

Atlantis Implant System
Atlantis makes it possible to achieve predictable highly esthetic and
cost-effective results for any implant case!

Atlantis utilizes the most advanced computer imaging technology to design and machine titanium abutments.  They produce the ideal abutment for each case ~ everytime!  Through Atlantis Virtual Abutment Design they can create abutments that:

• Compensate for offset or angled fixture placement
• Have an anatomical shape
• Increase crown retention
• Provide the ideal coronal preparations
• Create parallelism in complex, multiple-unit cases
• Are compatible with most implant systems

Many years of research and clinical study support the use of a fixture level index to determine the intraoral position of the implant at the first surgical procedure.  The fixture level index is the foundation on which the simplfied protocol is built. 

Atlantis provides a "duplicate" abutment which is identical to the original. It is sent with the master cast to the dental laboratory for fabrication of the final restoration. This ensures a precise fit, eliminates the need for a final impression which saves valuable chairtime. Research has shown that accurate capture of the implant position at the time of implant placement facilitates the fabrication of an accurate master cast. The utilization of an accurate master cast in a "Simplified Protocol" allows the clinician to deliver a customized permanent healing abutment and provisional at the second surgery.
