The Educator & The Innovator

Dr. Misch trains dentists worldwide in implant surgery. Dr. Katranji develops the materials that make complex cases possible. Together, they handle cases other practices can't.

What We Do

We handle the complex cases that general dentists send to specialists—implants, bone grafting, gum surgery, and fixing problems from previous treatments.

Dental Implants

Single tooth, multiple teeth, or full-arch solutions. We handle both straightforward cases and the complex situations that require specialist training.

Advanced Bone Grafting

Dr. Katranji developed new bone grafting materials used by dentists nationwide. We rebuild bone where other practices say implants aren't possible.

Full-Arch Replacement

Replace an entire arch with implant-supported teeth. All-on-4, All-on-6, and custom solutions for patients missing most or all of their teeth.

LANAP Laser Treatment

FDA-cleared laser treatment for gum disease. No scalpels, no sutures, less pain, and faster healing than traditional gum surgery.

Fixing Failed Implants

Had an implant fail at another office? We specialize in revision cases—removing failed implants and getting you back on track.

Gum Grafting

Restore receded gums and protect exposed tooth roots. Advanced soft tissue grafting that improves both function and appearance.

When Your Dentist Says...

"You don't have enough bone for implants"

"Your case is too complex for me"

"You need to see a specialist"

This is where they send their patients.

Common Questions

Why should I see a specialist instead of my general dentist for implants?

Implants are surgery. General dentists learn the basics in dental school, but periodontists spend three additional years (10,000+ hours) in surgical residency training focused exclusively on implants and bone work. For anything complex—bone grafting, sinus lifts, revisions—that specialized training makes all the difference in whether your implant succeeds or fails.

Are specialists more expensive than general dentists?

Specialist fees reflect the additional training and expertise, but they often save you money long-term by avoiding complications and failed implants. We offer financing through CareCredit and work with most insurance plans. At your free consultation, we'll give you exact numbers for your specific case.

What if I was told I don't have enough bone for implants?

This is exactly why patients get referred to specialists. Dr. Katranji literally developed new bone grafting materials to solve this problem. We place successful implants in patients all the time who were told it wasn't possible elsewhere. A 3D scan at your consultation will show us what we can do.

How long does the implant process take?

It depends on your situation. Straightforward cases take 3-4 months. Complex cases with bone grafting can take 6-9 months. Some patients qualify for temporary teeth the same day as surgery. We'll give you a detailed timeline at your consultation based on what you need.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we work with most dental insurance plans and file claims for you. Implant coverage varies by plan—some cover a portion, some don't. We'll check your benefits and tell you exactly what you'll pay out of pocket before we start.

What makes the Misch Institute connection matter?

The Misch International Implant Institute has trained over 10,000 dentists worldwide over the past 40+ years. Dr. Jonathan Misch is the CEO—he's the person who teaches other dentists how to do this. You're getting care from the instructor, not the student.

What happens at the free consultation?

We'll do a full exam, take 3D scans to see exactly what your bone looks like, discuss your goals, create a treatment plan with timeline, and give you transparent pricing with financing options. No obligation, no pressure. Just expert analysis so you can make an informed decision.
