This is a food trap

The DonTassDDS Team has included periodontal solutions and alternatives into every aspect of our coaching platform. Maintaining good oral hygiene is critical when you have partial dentures, as they can easily trap food, putting your patient at risk for gum issues, odor causing bacteria, or even tooth loss. The cost for partial dentures is not cheap. The average lifespan of a partial denture is 5-6 years; with a cost of $600-$1,500 per arch. If your patient loses a tooth because of periodontal disease; the partial denture needs to be repaired, relined and is now an expensive temporary partial denture The DonTassDDS Maintenance Program was designed to help your staff and patients maintain their dentures for as long as possible

Our partial denture presentations provide a step-by step approach to coaching. The numerous procedures that seemed confusing and redundant, even in dental school, are now transformed into useful delightful bits of revenue-producing information for general dentists. Our website provides one-stop shopping for non-implant supported partial dentures that will continue to grow and evolve with the needs of our clients. As you strive for perfection, sometimes, the perfect answer can be found in viewing basic concepts from a practical and achievable prospective. Bottomline: What works in a textbook, may not necessarily work in your clinical practice. This is what the DonTassDDS coaching platform is all about. Our one-on- one Zoom video conference calls help to identify problems area and provide technique suggestions. Depending on your office lay-out, many of the metal framework try-in procedures can be re-structured for a better fitting denture.

This is not uncommon. The real problem is what do you do if this happens? Most general dentists are not familiar with the Altered Cast Technique. Why? Because it’s too time consuming and technique sensitive. However, reviewing our altered cast technique will help you communicate with your lab technician and develop a solution to the problem

Yes, surveying is important! However, it is not as complicated as you think. Surveying is a routine dental procedure performed when you’re prepping teeth for fillings, or crowns. In partial dentures, the surveyor is used to do the same thing. The DonTassDDS team has created easy to use steps for surveying. No more guesswork! Should I tilt the cast or not tilt the cast? Where is the undercut? Our “Surveying mad Easy” presentations are as easy as 1,2,3.

Now your surveyor has
dual purposes.

The basic difference is tooth preparation by the dentist. When some of the teeth are slightly modified by the dentist, the interim treatment partial stays in place during function. Do you want to know more about making an interim partial that that actually stays in place? Check out our video library presentations. Invest in our Zoom presentations and interact during discussion periods. The DonTassDDS team is here to coach you every step of the way.

Depending upon he clinical situation, this is an acceptable initial step in your treatment plan. However, the problem occurs when the denture loses retention and flips out the patient mouth.

The sequential steps for making different types of immediate denture can be confusing. Our video library presentations provide a before, during, and after visualization of the procedures. Group discussions and self-paced quizzes are available.

The different types of occlusal schemes are discussed and analyzed. A balanced occlusal scheme with no deflective contacts is reinforced throughout our library of video presentations

Denture customization is the key factor for denture retention during function. Knowing not only how but why a specific step is performed. This cuts down on confusion and repeated errors. With this in mind, the DonTassDDS Group has developed a video guide that shows each step of the procedure in real time. Textbooks only provide narrative. Our clinical videos were performed by dentists in private practice. Clarity without guess work. If requested, the DonTass Group, will provide one-on-one coaching sessions for you and your dental staff. DonTassDDS (Dentist Series)was designed for general dentists from all experience levels who want to know more about making functional and esthetic non-implant supported dentures that will improve their bottom line.
