ANNOUNCEMENT: You no longer always need to aggressively cut away your bone and gums to get a full set of implants

All photos in this post are from last week. The teeth are handmade temporaries delivered the same day as the surgery. The Surgery was performed at Mountain State Oral & Facial Surgery by Dr. Marshall Green.
The planning, tooth design, and tooth fabrication was performed by Rohit Kumar at Dr. Kumar Advanced Restorative and Prosthetic Dentistry.

Everywhere you turn you see advertisements for getting your teeth replaced with “implants in a day.”

The ugly truth that no one tells you is that 99.9% of providers who perform this procedure cut away 4-8 millimeters of your bone that you will never get back to make it easy to place the implants.

Well there is an incredible technique to save all of your bone and gum tissue and just replace your teeth called an FP1.

It takes a very skilled surgeon and skilled restorative provider to make this work.

It has taken me over a decade and thousands of reconstructive cases to develop the techniques and master this procedure .

We are the first and only providers to successfully perform this in southwest Virginia.

I have never seen a surgeon work as masterfully as Dr. Marshal Green . Dr Green was able to extract every tooth without damaging ANY tissue all while preserving all of the bone. He then went on to place 7 implants by feel and experience alone. The implants are perfectly positioned as can be seen in the occlusal photos of the tissue and teeth. (Following Tarnows rule of 3mm facial bone). To make it even more impressive he completed the entire surgery in 1 hour and a half. The patient did not even need to be sedated and was comfortable the whole time. The patient had no pain or swelling because we didn’t damage any tissue.

Dr Green used my template for the design of the teeth (which I spent months perfecting) and found the best bone to get the implants placed both perfectly parallel and with high initial torque which is critical to success.
This is often hard to achieve in cases where a surgeon uses a guide because they cannot feel different bone and are committed to a predefined plan that if it doesn’t work they can’t easily recover.

For my part I had to masterfully design the teeth for both esthetics and ideal shape to promote healing of the gingiva. Our biggest concern is preserving the gums that sit between the teeth (papilla). This means I had to follow exact measurements and design ideal contours to put no pressure on the bone, but at the same time promote the gums to grow in between the teeth.

These cases are some of the hardest to perform in dentistry and we are proud to say that we have absolutely mastered them.

Believe it or not you can have a missing tooth permanently replaced with no implants and minimal/no drilling.

This adolescent patient received a winged bonded cantilever bridge.

It takes expertise to manage the bite forces and create life like esthetics, however when done well these can last decades

Two minimal prep feldspathic veneers were delivered on the malformed lateral incisors for this 18 year old male. He is absolutely thrilled to be able to smile for his senior year photos.

Feldspathic porcelain requires an expert hand in design and fabrication because it is 100% handmade. It is a truly artisanal product. Its beauty lies in the fact that we control every layer of material giving it depth and vividly natural esthetics as can be seen here. Very few providers and even fewer labs in the country know how to use this material due to its complex nature.

Dr. Kumar is the only provider in the area that has experience and regularly delivers 100% no prep and minimal prep feldspathic veneers.

Please call our office if you are looking for life like and beautiful results that last.

This case is a few years old but probably one of the most complex case types possible.

After years of low self esteem she decided to seek help at our clinic to rehabilitate her smile. The patient underwent orthodontic care to idealize her alignment. This required precise planning to create the perfect shape for her missing front tooth.

Due to a bone defect grafting was performed and implant placed by the best periodontist in the business Dr. Linda Till. The results were impeccable

Finally it was my turn to transform this smile to bring out this vibrant patients inner beauty.

It’s been 3 years and she hasn’t stopped smiling wide! I’m honored to be a part of it.

The longest lasting and most trusted type of over-denture (snap-on denture) is a bar over denture.

The bar splints implants together providing shared stress relief and protection for the implants. Furthermore it allows for angled implants to engage the best bone for the best possible outcome.

Bar overdentures are a technique sensitive procedure that require extreme attention to detail and precision, however if done well can provide patients with incredible esthetics and chewing ability.

This specific case was challenging due to the skeletal crossbite and compromised bone from periodontal disease. Thank you to Marshall Green at Mountain State Oral & Facial Surgery for his perfect implant placement making this case a slam dunk.

Another complex case well done!

The patient was referred from West Virginia by his general dentist for having all of his teeth removed for dentures as the patient had cavities on most of his teeth.

After taking a thorough history we found that his cavities were caused by failing old restorations and a candy sucking habit.

I told the patient that if he gives up his hard candies and we cover all of the large old failing restorations we could save his all of his teeth.

In the end for the sake of cost the patient ended up going with an upper bar over denture (the safest and longest lasting type of snap on denture) and a traditional crowns on all of his lower teeth.

The artistry and precision needed to make the two line and match perfectly are what’s at display here.

The patient was more than ecstatic.

This is a case from a couple years ago. The patient presented with deteriorating veneers from 30 years ago.

Revision cases are always challenging as the goal is to stay minimally invasive while working with what remains.

This case was a flawless example of achieving and strong and esthetic results in the presence of challenging conditions.

If you are interested in the highest quality veneers money can buy, call Dr Kumar’s office at 540-774-6667.

It was an honor to take lead on this complex case. A sweet 45 yo female lost her teeth to side effects from gastric bypass surgery. She suffered for years from poorly made dentures as she was told she had no bone for implants

Thanks to the world class surgical expertise by Dr Marshall Green at Mountain State Oral Surgery we were able to get ideal support for a beautiful new set of teeth.

The planning and ex*****on here had no room for error. We are just as ecstatic as our patient for her new smile.
