Rush Family Dental Doctors Complete Advanced Dental Implant Training

At Rush Family Dental, we believe that our patients deserve the highest standard of care. This belief drives our commitment to continuous learning and investing in the best technology available. We are proud to announce that our own Drs. Kyle and Cory Rush have recently completed advanced dental implant training with some of the nation’s most respected and rigorous implant programs. This achievement is a significant milestone for our practice and, more importantly, a tremendous benefit for our patients seeking the best in tooth replacement solutions.

Our primary goal is to provide safe, precise, and predictable dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. This advanced training enhances our ability to deliver on that promise, particularly for complex implant cases. By combining extensive education with state-of-the-art technology, we can offer comprehensive implant services right here in our Phoenix and Chandler offices. We want to share what this means for you and the level of care you can expect from our family-focused practice.

Our Commitment to Advanced Education in Implant Dentistry

We have always prioritized staying at the forefront of dental medicine. For us, this means dedicating significant time to postgraduate education to master the latest techniques and protocols. Drs. Kyle and Cory Rush have recently invested hundreds of hours in specialized training to elevate our practice’s implant services.

Dr. Arun Garg’s Implant Seminars Dental Implant Continuum

Both Dr. Kyle and Dr. Cory Rush completed the Implant Seminars Dental Implant Continuum. This intensive program, led by the world-renowned implant educator Dr. Arun Garg, involved 88 hours of dedicated, implant-specific training. The curriculum provided an in-depth education covering every facet of implant dentistry, including:

• Advanced Surgical Techniques: Mastering the precise skills needed for successful implant placement.
• Complex Treatment Planning: Developing comprehensive strategies for even the most challenging cases to ensure predictable, long-lasting results.
• Implant Restoration: Learning the art and science behind crafting beautiful, functional final crowns, bridges, and dentures that attach to the implants.

Completing this continuum has deepened our surgical skills and reinforced our foundational knowledge, ensuring that every implant procedure we perform is grounded in the latest research and best practices.

Dr. Kyle Rush’s Surgical Residency with Implant Pathway

To further build upon this foundation, Dr. Kyle Rush completed a demanding 24-hour surgical residency with Implant Pathway. This nationally recognized program, founded by Dr. Justin Moody, focuses on hands-on surgical experience and managing real-world patient cases. This immersive training has earned Dr. Kyle fellowship status with the organization—a distinction that reflects a high level of expertise and dedication. The residency emphasized advanced surgical protocols, allowing him to refine his techniques for procedures that require the utmost precision and care.

Dr. Cory Rush’s Surgical Residency with the Misch Implant Institute

Dr. Cory Rush also pursued additional specialized training, completing a 20-hour surgical residency with the prestigious Misch Implant Institute. For decades, the Misch Institute, founded by the legendary Dr. Carl Misch, has been considered one of the world's leading implant training organizations, setting the global standard for implant education. This residency provided Dr. Cory with elite-level instruction, focusing on the complex principles of implant surgery and prosthetics. As Dr. Cory noted, "The courses deepened my knowledge and surgical skills while reinforcing our commitment to providing safe, precise, and predictable implant care for our patients."

Integrating State-of-the-Art Technology for Superior Results

Advanced training is most effective when paired with advanced technology. We have made significant investments in innovative tools that complement our doctors' expanded expertise, enhancing the safety, accuracy, and comfort of our implant procedures. This includes advanced 3D CT Cone beam imaging, allowing for advanced knowledge of potential complications and important anatomical landmarks, as well as 3D printed surgical guides for micron-level placement precision. 

CBCT Imaging for Precise Diagnosis and Planning

Our practice now utilizes Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging. This remarkable technology provides us with crystal-clear, three-dimensional images of your jawbone, teeth, and surrounding structures. Unlike a standard two-dimensional X-ray, a CBCT scan allows us to visualize nerve pathways, bone density, and anatomical features with incredible detail. This information is critical for planning the exact placement of a dental implant, ensuring a safer procedure and a more successful outcome.

3D Printing for Custom Surgical Guides

To translate our precise digital plans into reality, we use a 3D printer to create custom surgical guides. Based on the data from the CBCT scan, we can design and print a guide that fits perfectly over your existing teeth. This guide directs the implant placement with micron-level precision, ensuring the ideal depth and angle. This technology minimizes the risk of error and often results in a quicker, more comfortable procedure and a faster recovery time.

Selective Bone Grafting for Optimal Support

For a dental implant to be successful, it needs a strong foundation of healthy bone. Some patients may have insufficient bone volume due to tooth loss, gum disease, or other factors. We perform selective bone grafting procedures to rebuild and strengthen the area where an implant is needed. This process ensures that your implant will have the solid support required for long-term stability and function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, it provides a sturdy foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.

Why is advanced training important for dental implants?
