Welcome back to part two of this ‘Restoring the Single Implant Crown’ podcast series that’s about to kick start your implant career. We’ve teamed up with the uber-knowledgeable Dr. Devang Patel, a dental wizard with over 13 years of spellbinding experience under his belt.

Leading on from the previous episode that focussed on case assessment to impression taking/digital scanning, we now cover the step by step protocol for fitting the implant crown, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Dr. Patel’s got your back (or should we say teeth?) every step of the way! Check out his social media platforms for further information about his upcoming implant restoration course:
