Join us for a one-day Patient Journey! We had the privilege of following one of the cases from yesterday, part of a full arch weekend dedicated to life-changing care both aesthetically and functionally.

Michael was the recipient of our donated full arch case, made possible by Dr. Steven Walker in Chesterton. We’re incredibly grateful for his trust and willingness to share his journey.

This outcome reflects the incredible work of Dr. Surber, our surgical team, the dental lab, and the care provided by our anesthesiologist, Dr. Thiel. We’re also deeply thankful to BioHorizons for their generous donation of the implants that made this possible.

If you can believe it, what you’re seeing here at the end are his temporaries—an early glimpse of what’s to come. His final restoration will be even more remarkable. It was a soul touching case for all! The future is bright, Michael! Thank you once again to all involved.
This is why we do what we do.

🦷 Dental Implants 🔩
What are they? And how do you know if you’re a candidate?

A dental implant is a permanent solution used to replace a missing tooth. It’s placed directly into the jawbone to restore function, support your bite, and enhance your smile.

Most people missing one or more teeth are great candidates. However, certain health conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes or active gum disease) or low bone density may require additional evaluation or treatment before moving forward.

Dental implants are one of the most common and effective solutions for tooth loss, most often caused by cavities, periodontal disease, or injury.
