San Antonio 2026. 💪🏼

We won’t know the final numbers for a few days but it was nothing short of inspiring to see the San Antonio dental community show up BIG in support of Smiles Foundation’s signature community outreach event. 🎖️

And it was an additional blessing to do another TMOM with . I hope this tradition continues!!! 🙏🏼

My respect and admiration goes out to all the TMOM volunteers who made this such a success. I especially want to commend and and their teams for the local arrangements. This is a huge undertaking and they handled it with positivity and purpose. 🫵🏼

And this is San Antonio, so everything is better with mariachis! 🪅

Now, it’s Game 7 - Go Spurs Go!!!! 🏀

Sometimes the unexpected happens…but Don’t Stop Believin’!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Relatively routine ridge preservation on a failed central incisor turned into a loooong waiting game after the edge of the Ti-reinforced Cytoplast membrane became exposed. 😬

Typically I remove these at 4 weeks but patient compliance was a bit of an issue. So when she returned at 3 months, I can’t say I was surprised but I was still concerned. Membrane was easily pulled and the area allowed to heal while she finished ortho. ⏳

Of course I didnt expect it to take 2 years to re-enter, but as I said, compliance. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nevertheless, upon re-entry there was sufficient bone for .us implant placement, but I still elected to add more bone for contour and protection. And because I am a Nice Guy. 😇

Our excellent outcome was tested a few years lafter when 10 failed, and here we go again…🤦🏻‍♂️

But Rory and I agree: all’s well that ends well.

Just started working with the Anatomic Healing Abutment (AHA) and so far we are really digging it! 💚🤍

We picked a good case here with fractured 3-5, thick phenotype, ideal socket anatomy and bone for primary stability. A flapless approach, careful removal and site preparation, PRF “sticky” bone 🦴 and tuberosity CTG for the HDD and socket seal. 🍣

The AHA provided the finishing touch to preserve the emergence profile and eliminate a tissue shaping step and (if digital impression protocol is utilized) a separate scan body step, saving the patient time and money 💰

Harrel, Wilson, and colleagues have shown it repeatedly: residual calculus is a primary driver of failed periodontal therapy. (Harrel SK, Wilson TG Jr, et al. J Periodontol. 2020;91:1562–1568 / Harrel SK, Cobb CM, et al. Dent J. 2022;10:195) 📚

Lasers, locally delivered antibiotics, growth factors, EMD — none of it overcomes a root that isn’t clean. Before I reach for any of these modifiers I know a clean root surface is the non-negotiable foundation. 🏛️

At up to 100x magnification, periodontal endoscopy finds calculus blind SRP misses. No flap; no guesswork. 👁️

When it comes to effective perio without a flap, this is the standard. 🏅

10+ years using periodontal endoscopy and I can tell you once you see what you’ve been missing, there’s no going back! 🌳

Proud to have spent Saturday with my son Zack at the Texas Mission of Mercy in Dallas, providing free dental care to underserved Texans. TMOM can treat up to 700 patients in just two days — and every volunteer makes that possible. What moved me most was meeting the patients themselves — so many had lined up since 11 or 12 the night before just to be seen. That kind of determination reminds you exactly why this work matters. Shoutout to Director Stacy Hill, TMOM Board Members Dr Kent Macaulay (our Triage Team Leader), Dr. Richard Potter , Dr. Michael Rainwater, Dr. Tommy Harrison and the entire team for their tireless dedication to this mission.

What made this day even more special was watching Zack — there from 5am to 5pm, escorting patients, running supplies, and jumping in wherever he was needed with a great attitude.

Having grown up in the Dallas area and having connections with the Dallas Dental community from my BCOD years, it was also fun to see old friends like the Legend Jane Evans with and Dr. Larry Herwig - great people I’ve known for almost 40 years!

See you at the next TMOM May 29-30 in San Antonio!!!

Awesome interdisciplinary treatment performed with the talented Dr. Maria Isabel Atique Rojas and Dr. Marcela Alvarez 📸

Dr. Atique set the stage by addressing the patient’s occlusion and spacing for bonded cantilever FPDs (and eventual implants should the patient so desire). 🎭

The patient was referred to me to confirm spacing and plan the soft tissue phase which included:

✅ Esthetic crown lengthening
✅ Soft tissue augmentation #7 and 10
✅ Frenectomy

Following soft tissue sculpting and osseous recontouring, soft tissue was harvested from the tuberosity, shaped and secured to the buccal of primary teeth D and G. The plan was to keep the primary lateral incisors until healing was complete. 🍣

Following uneventful healing, Dr Alvarez removed the primary lateral incisors during the prosthetic phase to seal the final smile. 🤩

Collaboration at this level is one of the true privileges of this profession. Grateful to these talented clinicians — working together always raises the standard, and our patients are better for it! ♥️
