DR. HILLAM PROTOCOL
Hi guys. So I'm sure everyone knows by now we have an awesome provider that has been added to our practice to provide some new services to offer our patients.
Dr. Hillam is the provider that has joined out team. These are some examples of the services he will be providing:
1. Implant placements,
2. All-on-4 implant placement
3. Connective tissue grafts
4. Gingival grafts
5. Crown lengthening
6. Bone grafting
7. Guided tissue regeneration
8. sinus augmentations
