In Judy's words
I was trying to get the abutments replaced — and no one could help me out.
I came to see Dr. Andrus. Within the same day, he had found what implants or abutments I needed. He had them.
I have new implants — or realigned — and I am smiling and eating happily.
"Within the same day, he had found what abutments I needed. He had them." — Judy
Dental implant systems use abutment connectors that are specific to the brand and generation of the implant body. If a patient's original surgeon used an older or less-common system — or if they have moved practices — finding the right replacement abutment can stump a general dentist. As a board-certified prosthodontist, Dr. Andrus works across the major implant systems and can identify, source, and place the correct abutments without redoing the surgery.
