Wanna know which step gets overlooked (or messed up) most often in the All-on-4 process? The bite adjustment.

If you’re seriously considering All-on-4 treatment, watch this entire video and get informed.

We see so many patients who come to us because their previous dentist can’t seem to figure out why things keep breaking, chipping, loosening, or why other problems keep popping up.

More often than people realize, the root cause is an improperly adjusted bite. It’s a “tedious” step, and honestly, a lot of providers either rush it or don’t fully understand it.

This is exactly where prosthodontists like Dr. Shahrukh Syed truly shine.

In this video, our prosthodontist Dr. Syed walks you through how he adjusts the bite on final zirconia All-on-4 teeth, and what he’s looking for:
• Speech check (“S” sounds): If there’s clicking, whistling, or the “S” sounds off, it can be a sign the vertical dimension of occlusion needs to be corrected — basically, the overall “height” of your bite (how far apart your jaws sit when you close). If that height is too tall or too short, it can affect comfort, function, and even the way you sound when you talk.
• Canine guidance: When the jaw moves side-to-side, are the canines the only teeth touching? This is critical in implant dentistry because implants don’t have the same “shock absorber” system natural teeth do — so we want the bite forces guided in a way that protects the prosthesis and reduces overload.
• Even contacts: Does the patient feel balanced, even pressure on both sides? We don’t want one side hitting harder than the other.

Bottom line: people can talk all day about “surgical skill,” but let’s be real — patients are doing All-on-X to get functional teeth. Bite/occlusion is everything for comfort and long-term durability, and prosthodontists are the dental specialists with the deepest training in that world.

That’s exactly why we have two prosthodontists at North Texas Dental Surgery.

This might be the wildest before/after smile transformation we’ve ever done.

Pre-op: advanced gum disease, heavy granulation tissue, and teeth literally everywhere. It was the kind of case that makes you pause and go, “Are implants even going to be possible?”

He traveled in from the Southeastern coast because he was done hiding his smile.

And somehow… everything lined up. Surgery, healing, implant stability — it all worked out perfectly.

Now: a smile he’s genuinely confident in.
New year. New me. 2026. WOW. 🤯🔥

If you’re dealing with gum disease, loose teeth, or a “hopeless” diagnosis — get a real evaluation. Sometimes the comeback is bigger than the setback.

Extraction + Socket Preservation (Bone Graft) on a BIG Infection 😳🦷

In this video, Dr. Danny Choi (Board-Certified Periodontist in Dallas-Fort Worth Metro) removes an infected premolar (it was literally draining through the gum) and does socket preservation to protect the jawbone for a future implant.

Here’s the part most people don’t realize:
A tooth can be “broken” and “infected”… but once the decay/infection gets too close to the bone level, there may not be enough healthy structure left to save it with a root canal + crown.

In this case, the infection had already punched through the outer (cheek-side) bone, which is exactly why he:
• opened a small flap to fully clean out the infected tissue
• irrigated thoroughly
• placed bone graft (including into the “hole” the infection created)
• added a collagen membrane (to prevent gum tissue from infiltrating bone graft)
• used non-resorbable sutures to keep everything stable during healing

Aftercare basics he tells every patient:
✅ No chewing on that side (think: wet concrete)
✅ Brush — but don’t dig into the socket
✅ Salt-water rinses 2x/day
✅ A few bone “sand grains” may come out — that can be normal
✅ Finish your antibiotics as prescribed

Planning an implant later? The goal is simple: clean it right now so it doesn’t cause problems later.

Most people think dental implants are “free-hand.”
They’re not… at least not here 👀

This is X-Guide navigation-guided implant surgery in real time.

It shows us exactly how deep and what angle we’re placing the implant — while still letting us adapt if the bone or anatomy isn’t perfect.

Robots? Cool.
Plastic surgical guides? Helpful.
But they lock you in.

X-Guide gives us GPS for dental implants 🛰️
So we get precision and flexibility at the same time.

This lets us plan around the final smile and bite, then place implants to match that plan — prosthetically driven placement with real-time navigation.

That’s how we build teeth that look right, feel right, and last.

Front Tooth Implant — BEFORE & AFTER 🦷✨

Single-tooth implants in the front are some of the highest-stakes dentistry—because the goal isn’t just “replace a tooth.” It’s about rebuilding lost bone + gum tissue and making the final tooth blend in naturally with the teeth next to it.

A lot of patients come in with bone shrinkage + gum recession, so you often can’t place the implant right away. The process may look like:
✅ Rebuild bone/soft tissue first (months)
✅ Place the implant (healing time)
✅ Fine-tune gum contours + craft a natural-looking crown

This patient came to us after failed grafting attempts overseas—and it took real planning and teamwork to achieve this result.

We’re also filming a video soon breaking down exactly how we planned and executed this case step-by-step, so follow along

A 25-year-old man walks in with pain and swelling, thinking it’s “just an infection”… then we take the X-ray and see a HUGE banana-shaped dark area in his lower jaw 👀

Impacted wisdom tooth sitting right in the middle, jaw nerve running right next to it, and a lesion stretching from his first molar all the way up the ramus.

In this video, Dr. Sung Han (.solo ), our board-certified oral surgeon, walks you through:
    •    What we look for on 2D and 3D X-rays
    •    Why we’re doing an incisional biopsy first
    •    How the final diagnosis (cyst vs benign tumor) completely changes the treatment plan

Have you been told that your wisdom teeth are “too risky” or “too close to the nerve” to deal with? If so, schedule your consultation with Dr. Han here at North Texas Dental Surgery.

He will explain to you what your viable options are, and do treatments on you in a very safe and comfortable manner. Dr. Han’s patients RAVE about their wisdom teeth experiences! Check out the reviews on our Google page for reference!

Crowns aren’t always the answer 👀

In this video, Dr. Alberto Lázaro ( ), our board-certified prosthodontist at North Texas Dental Surgery in the DFW area, explains why ceramic onlays are his favorite minimally invasive alternative to crowns.

Instead of drilling the whole tooth for a crown, an onlay restoration only replaces the damaged or decayed part of the tooth, helping preserve healthy tooth structure, reduce tooth sensitivity, and lower the risk of needing a root canal later.

If your dentist told you that you “need a crown,” this video breaks down onlay vs crown, ceramic onlays, and veneer-onlays so you can ask about more conservative options at your next dental visit. 🦷✨

She just got her final All-on-4 monolithic zirconia teeth, so we put them to the test 🎙️🦷

This “phonetic test” helps us see how clearly she can say sounds like S and F. If there’s a lisp or air escaping on S, it often means the space between the top and bottom teeth when you bite (your bite height) needs to be adjusted. If the F sound feels off, the position of the upper front teeth might need to be moved.

We see a lot of patients who’ve already had full mouth makeovers elsewhere, but their bite or speech just never felt right. Your mouth and jaw can only “adapt” so much before things start to hurt or sound off — that’s where a prosthodontist’s training really matters. Full smile makeovers follow complete denture principles, and prosthodontists are the ones who live and breathe those details.

If you want teeth that look beautiful and sound and feel natural, come see our prosthodontic team (Dr. Syed & Dr. Lázaro) at North Texas Dental Surgery.
