Dr. English was raised in Alaska where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Before starting dental school, he worked as an analytical chemist in the oil field of Northern Alaska. He attended University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry. He has practiced in both California and Montana. In Montana, he established a Federal Qualified Health Center for the care of the needy in rural communities.
While running the Health Center, he was recruited by his alma mater, UOP Dental School. He returned to California and began teaching at the UOP as a professor, later being promoted to Group Practice Administrator overseeing 50+ students, 15+ faculty, and numerous support staff. At the University, he was involved with multiple research projects and publications. Dr. English has also been a California Board Examiner in addition to his active mentorship at young dentists.
Replacing a single tooth with a single tooth implant does not endanger the health of the neighboring teeth. Because a dental implant will replace your tooth root, the bone is better preserved. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact. Several missing teeth can also be replaced with individual implants. With this method, a dental implant will be placed at the site of each missing tooth, providing ideal replicas of your lost teeth. Multiple teeth may also be restored with an implant bridge, which is a prosthetic comprised of three or more crown units, depending upon the number of missing teeth.
One of the most rewarding and exciting new procedures in dentistry today is the system for making loose dentures tight and comfortable. Mini dental implants provide denture patients with the ability to eat, smile and speak with confidence. In as little as 1 hour, 4-6 dental implants can be placed and your dentures can be fitted over the implants. The patient leaves the office with stable denture which can be used IMMEDIATELY. In addition, placement of these implants results in little to no post operative discomfort. Many patients who were not candidates for conventional implants because they didn’t have enough bone or because of finances are now mini dental implant candidates.
Made of Hybrid Resin or Zirconia, the removable bridge involves placement of between 6-10 implants, determined by bone volume and bone quality. This is a fixed hybrid bridge that can be detached by the dentist as needed at recall cleaning visits.
