Are LONG dental implants really BETTER??

I get this question all the time: do I REALLY need to use a long implant? Won't a short implant work just as well? The answer: maybe! It all comes down to physics (of course!). Is the final prosthesis in an area that will be subject to a lot of off-axis loads? If so, you DEFINITELY need a long implant!Think about it like a fence post. If you bury one fence post 6 inches deep and another 3 feet deep, which one is more likely to withstand a strong windstorm? Same thing with implants. However, what if you put a heavy concrete block on top of each post? They're both going to hold up great! Check out the video for the rest of the explanation as well as some placement tips on how to size and select the right implant length for each use case. Check out our full continuum at stanleyinstitute.com.At Stanley Institute for Comprehensive Dentistry, we offer expert-led courses designed to train the whole doctor—covering everything from diagnosis to advanced treatment planning, efficient practice management and more.
