Chapter 01 The Doctor

One doctor, from the scan to the crown.

Dr. Tomas Kerr is a prosthodontist who does one thing: replaces missing teeth with implants. He scans, plans, places and restores every implant himself, and travels between three partner practices so you see the same doctor at every visit.

Chapter 02 Philosophy

Surface first.

An implant doesn't hold because it is screwed in. It holds because bone grows onto it. Under an electron microscope a good titanium surface looks like a moonscape, with blasted craters and acid-etched pits a few microns wide, and that roughness is where new bone takes hold.

    Chapter 03 The Process

    Five visits, one written plan.

    Every implant is placed twice: once on screen, under the planned crown, and once in the mouth through a guide printed from that plan. Here is what the months in between look like.

      Chapter 05 Fees & Questions

      Fees, in writing.

        A fixed, itemised quote follows the scan. Nothing is added later. Payment can be split across the three stages: placement, integration and crown. Fees on this concept site are fictional.
