IMPLANT DENTISTRY
Since 1965 when Dr Ingvar Branemark placed the first dental implant into the lower arch of a patient in Sweden, dental implantology has developed into a very predictable treatment for the replacement of missing teeth. It is one of the single greatest changes in the history of dentistry (for more info visit www.ada.org).
Since 1984, when Dr Schroder placed his first dental implant while teaching in the graduate general practice program at the UT Health Science Center Dental School, he has continually advanced his skills in the discipline of Dental Implantology and is now recognized as a very accomplished practitioner in providing these procedures for his patients. He is somewhat unique in that he both places AND restores dental implants, affording his patients the benefits of complete care.
Dental implants are titanium tooth replacements that can be used in ever increasing indications in tooth replacement from single teeth to full mouth reconstruction. The diagnosis and treatment with dental implants is a complicated endeavor requiring extensive training and experience. Dr. Schroder has this extensive training and experience.
In the course of gaining these skills over the past 24 years, Dr. Schroder has been instrumental in bringing imaging technologies into the profession which make the placement of implants more precise and predictable for his patients. He uses Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) to determine the exact position for placement of a dental implant to be maximally effective and successful (for more info visit www.iMagDent.com). Dr. Schroder has presented lectures to dentists explaining the use of this technology in dental implantology and the need for the restorative or general dentist to be the primary care provider for patients who need this type of care.
If you have any interest in or possible need for dental implants, Dr. Schroder welcomes the opportunity to talk with you in detail about how this remarkable procedure can help you.
