“Help! My 35k Overdenture Rocks and I Can’t Eat.”

The other day a patient walked into the office with a Locator overdenture on the maxilla. She had seven implants placed of which three weren’t able to be used and four were with locators. The denture had no underlying metal to reinforce it for strength and it rocked when she chewed. Worst of all: she was charged $35,000 between the surgeon and the restorative doctor.

Has this type of scenario ever presented itself in your office? What went wrong? What do you do? Can you fix it? These are all questions we should ask ourselves when dealing with this type of scenario.

Most of us want to do right by our patients but never really had real PRACTICAL training for implant dentistry.

If you are looking to implement implants immediately and learn exactly how to create systems in your office to support your practice’s growth please contact us today at 908-801-5117 or visit us online to learn more.
