Today I just placed my first 3 mini-implants in a maxillary partial denture case. I was amazed as to how easy it really was! I was told that "if you can extract a tooth, you can place an implant". And 'they' are right! I was reluctant to get into implants because I thought they were not for the general dentist but I decided to try the mini implant system by Imtec. I also contacted FIRST Dental Lab and spoke to Dr. Ben Oppenheimer who walked me through the case. He helped me select the proper implants, he designed the surgical guide, and made the immediate temporary partial. The patient needed a failing abutment tooth extracted which, would have left her entire upper right quadrant edentulous. Everything went right into place and because of the mini implant system, she left with a secure temporary partial in place.

Ben, just a short note to thank you for all your help so far getting up to speed, especially in the area of single units mini-implants. You are generous with your time when we talk and a good " coach ". The designs and the stints have been very helpful. Keep up the good work! And pass my praises to Noah and his team as well.
With appreciation,
Harris Rittenberg
