I posted a new video about a common problem we all have from time to time with dental implant components. In this video I discuss the problem of stripped screw heads and I share with you the solutions that we used to solve this and make it possible for us to complete the cases.

Hello Dr.Phelan,
Thank you for your video. I am dealing with this problem, I was having a front tooth implant replaced and the dentist could not get it off. He sent me to a surgeon yesterday 7/15/11 who drilled the implant out and said that the implant was stripped. Wow I am sure that this will be a big issue as alot of people like me will face this dillema. I am very worried now as my dentist does not seem to know what to do next. I don’t know where you practice but would appreciate an opportunity to see you for a consult. I live in the Boston area/
