FAQs

Can you help me in my office with implant cases?
As hands on owner operators we feel that our time and expertise is best utilized working on your cases in the lab. We are always available for advice and consultation and instead of us coming into your office we arrange for the representative of the implant system that you are using to be there with you chair side if needed, that way they will have all the necessary items for you. As you can appreciate with so many implant systems on the market it would be prohibitively expensive to stock all the equipment.
