Dr. Waasdorp had some of his students from UPENN shadow him at the office today, watching the most advanced dental implant treatments available.  The patient seen here had a failing bridge, and his remaining teeth were infected.  Dr. Waasdorp extracted the remaining teeth, placed 5 implants, and gave the patient a fixed temporary to wear while the implants heal.  The patient never has to wear a removable prosthesis (denture) with this technique.
