Contemporary implant site development: From planning to placement

Dr. Don Hui received his DDS from the University of Toronto in 2000. He later obtained a Certificate in the Practice of General Dentistry in 2001 at the Strong Memorial Hospital, University of Rochester, Eastman School of Graduate Dentistry. He then went on to the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and the Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers in New York to complete his Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Anaesthesia Specialty training in 2006. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

Currently, Dr. Hui maintains a full-time Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice in Woodbridge, ON. His particular interests include advanced pre-implant regenerative techniques for hard and soft tissue augmentation. He has a penchant for adopting new technologies including digital scanning.

Dr. Hui is the chairman of DISCOV:R (Dental Interdisciplinary Study Club of Vaughan: Roundtable), an innovative forum representing all nine specialties of dentistry at its core.

Dental implants have become the standard of care to replace missing teeth. Though dental implants can be considered one of today’s most successful dental procedures, they are not without their share of problems. Most of these problems stem from not having enough sound tissue to build on, even before the implant is placed. If we are able to recognize these deficient sites better, and we are able to treat them accordingly with the most predictable site development (both hard and soft tissue) procedures, then we’ve done our patients the best possible service.
