PFAST cases are becoming increasingly common, and advances in implant placement techniques—including pterygoid implants, palatal approaches, transsinus trajectories, and transbuccal plate engagement—have significantly expanded our ability to achieve primary stability in dense cortical bone. When properly indicated, these strategies can facilitate immediate loading and help avoid the need for zygomatic implants in selected cases.

Consistent, predictable outcomes begin with recognizing the underlying hard-tissue anatomy and surgical patterns, effectively managing the soft-tissue envelope, and establishing the ideal prosthetic design before determining implant positions.

What an incredible weekend in Austin presenting at the Neodent Symposium on “Why Soft Tissue Matters: Elevating Predictability and Success in Full-Arch Treatment.”

I’m so grateful that my career has brought me so many challenging, rewarding, and fun adventures!

A heartfelt thank you to Dani Freeman and Mike Graham for your continued support and for believing in me. And a huge shoutout to Brody and the entire Devright team for executing such an outstanding symposium with precision, kindness, and care.

It was wonderful to meet new friends, reconnect with old ones, and learn from such a diverse group of speakers. The lectures were engaging, relevant, and right on point, and the entire symposium was exceptionally well planned.

And to top it all off, Athena and I recorded our very first podcast for Matriarches with Paige! Such a fun way to round out an incredible weekend.

Grateful for the connections, the conversations, and the opportunities to keep learning and growing. Until next time, Austin! 🤍

According to Puisys et al. (2021), in their 3-year split-mouth randomized pilot study, a partial-thickness flap combined with a connective tissue graft (CTG) resulted in a significantly greater gain in keratinized tissue compared with a full-thickness flap.
The width of keratinized tissue increased from 0.6 ± 0.60 mm to 5.1 ± 0.72 mm in the partial-thickness group, whereas it increased only from 0.5 ± 0.51 mm to 1.0 ± 0.57 mm in the full-thickness group (p < 0.001).

The authors proposed that positioning the CTG beneath a thin, partial-thickness flap, and therefore closer to the superficial epithelium, may facilitate epithelial differentiation and keratinization.

I have found this technique particularly helpful in clinical practice, especially when we have atrophic mandible with insufficient KT. Understanding the biological rationale underlying the partial-thickness approach has given me greater confidence and peace of mind.

Who is the “typical” All-on-X patient? 🤔

The truth is… there isn’t one.

Many patients who choose All-on-X are looking for a long-term solution to failing teeth, extensive tooth loss, or uncomfortable dentures. But age alone does not determine whether you may be a candidate.

Every patient has a different story, different goals, and different dental needs. That’s why your treatment plan should be as unique as you are.

Whether you’re dealing with failing teeth, missing teeth, struggling with dentures, or simply looking for a more permanent solution, the first step is learning about your options.

🦷 Hard Tissue. Soft Tissue. Prosthetics. — One Interconnected System.

A stable, maintainable, and biologically harmonious prosthesis begins long before the final restoration.
Implant positioning is critical to achieving an ideal, slim prosthetic profile. Adequate peri-implant hard- and soft-tissue dimensions create the foundation for long-term stability, tissue health, and effective oral hygiene.

Key biological considerations include:
• 2 mm of peri-implant bone thickness to support soft-tissue perfusion
• 2 mm of keratinized gingiva to facilitate soft-tissue health and oral hygiene
• 2 mm of mucosal thickness to provide adequate tissue volume
• 3 mm of supracrestal tissue height to respect the biologic width around the implant

When hard tissue, soft tissue, and prosthetic design are planned as one interconnected system, we can achieve restorations that are slim, stable, maintainable, and biologically harmonious.

The prosthesis is only as good as the foundation beneath it.

“Best decision I’ve ever made.” 🦷✨

After two years with her All-on-X implants, this patient shares how implant-supported teeth have restored stability, function, and confidence—allowing her to enjoy foods and everyday life without the limitations of traditional dentures.

Even patients who have been told they do not have enough bone for conventional implants may have treatment options. In appropriately selected cases, zygomatic implants can provide anchorage in the cheekbone and may allow for fixed teeth without extensive bone grafting.

Advanced implant dentistry offers individualized solutions based on each patient’s anatomy and clinical needs.

Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for implants? A comprehensive evaluation may reveal options you haven’t considered.

Individual results vary. Zygomatic implants are not appropriate for every patient.
