Patient Education Video Secret Ingredients to a Beautiful Smile Literally hundreds of thousands of people who were missing one or more teeth have benefited from the miracle of permanent tooth replacement using the Brånemark System® from Nobel Biocare. This is the story of one of those patients. Follow Darlene from her first visit to the implant prosthodontist thru the successful creation of her new smile. It's a process involving more than eighty individual steps, the talents of dozens of highly trained specialists, and hundreds of hours of meticulous laboratory work. If you or someone you know is missing one or more teeth, then permanent tooth replacement may be the perfect solution to the problem. This short video will give you a brief overview of this exciting procedure. (Video written by Thomas J. Balshi, D.D.S, F. A.C.P. and filmed entirely on location at The Institute for Facial Esthetics and Fort Washington Dental Lab in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania) This video is not for sale. It is given out at no charge to dental implant patients.

Oral Hygiene for the Implant Patient When a patient leaves a dental office after delivery of an implant prosthesis, the care they give that appliance can mean the long term success or failure of the case. This is a studio produced professionally narrated educational video for the patient which will instruct them in the proper home care of their new restoration. Produced by Barbara J. Lord, R.D.H., an implant hygienist in conjunction with Pi Dental Center, this video will optimize and reinforce hygiene instructions presented by the dental hygienist. Since it was not produced by any one implant manufacturer, the information is universal and no single implant system is emphasized. Every office engaged in dental implants and every dental implant patient should have this video. Rebuilding of a Smile General Information A great many people have replaced their lost teeth with dentures, but without the roots, the jawbone begins to dissolve, causing that "sunken mouth" look common among long-time denture wearers. Dental implants are a highly desirable alternative to dentures. The experienced doctors at Pi Dental Center, using the Brånemark System®, have restored the ability to chew foods (such as steak, apples, and corn-on-the-cob), and have removed pain and embarrassment from the lives of thousands of former denture wearers. As a patient, little difference is perceived between natural teeth and the new titanium anchored smile. Dr. Balshi and his associates have created broad smiles for a wide range of people from teenagers to grandparents, including retired businessmen and women in their 80's and 90's.
