Dr. David Naisbitt has spent 25 years developing and perfecting the Custom Embedded Implant. Dr. Naisbitt recognized the insurmountable problems with the subperiosteal implant shortly after learning that procedure in the early 1980′s. Yet millions of Americans and many more millions worldwide are not candidates for the ubiquitous root form implant. Even the most ambitious bone grafting and sinus modification procedures in these cases are unpredictable at best. This explains why long term studies of such procedures are missing from the literature. Google search “sinus lift complications”. Reports of chronic infections and failures are worthy of serious concern.
There are an estimated 30,000,000 Americans that wear dentures. Studies indicate that about 1/3 of them are functioning without major complaints. About another 1/3 require fixatives to function adequately. And the remaining 1/3 or so are in constant distress. They are afflicted with advanced ridge resorbtion, denture relines that often cause more bone resorbtion, inability to chew, personal and professional problems, lack of intimacy, abnormal weight gain or weight loss, embarrassment, gagging, injestion of denture fixatives that alter digestion, collapsed lower facial features and decreased life expectancy.
Dr. Naisbitt has placed over 1000 Custom Embedded Dental Implants since 1985. He has identified the major causes of and solutions for implant failure in cast implants. His surgical protocols and techniques have created an implant that is more functional and predictable in the resorbed maxilla and mandible than that of milled root form implants.
The new surgical and prosthetic techniques represent an important advance in implant dentistry. Cases that once required multiple modalities, extended healing times and unpredictable outcomes for root form implants can now be accepted with highly predictable results.
The Naisbitt CEI has increased the availability of dental implant services to patients that previously were not candidates for root form implants without undergoing sinus lifts, auto transplants, ridge expansion and ridge augmentation. There are many important advantages that this implant provides over root form implants placed in the edentulous maxilla and certain mandibular cases.
The CEI very importantly avoids unpredictable complications that all too often cause failure in root form implants such as latent asymptomatic bone disease, avascular bone that prevents osteogenesis and ill conceived efforts to place root form implants into insufficient bone structure.
The term CEI is used to differentiate this implant from any other cast implant. The primary purpose of embedding the CEI is to prevent soft tissue migration under the casting before osseointegration between the implant and natural bone is complete. Any further osseointegration is secondary.
Advantages of the Custom Embedded Implant
- Elimination of soft tissue sequestration between implant and bone.
- Functional forces are distributed more evenly throughout the jaw.
- Smaller abutment size and superstructure for implant over dentures.
- No drilling into unknown bone density or dormant pathogens.
- More interface with bone improving fixation and osseointegration.
- No presurgical imaging to identify implant sites and angulation.
- No sinus penetration or sinus augmentation.
- More extensive and optimal placement of abutments.
- Significantly shorter treatment time and patient acceptance.
- Predictable post operative healing.
- Predictable ridge grafts and augmentation.
- Better ridge contours for more normal prosthetic adaptation
- Consistant outcomes when no other options are possible.
- The treatment of choice for revising major root form case failures.
The following cases represent millions of edentulous Americans that are not candidates for root form implants. Their ridges are too narrow, their bone depth is too shallow, or both, and in many cases the size of the jaw iteself is too small. Sinus augmentation alone does not solve the problen of knife edge ridges in the premaxilla. In these cases full arch implant rehabilitation is not possible without undergoing exceptionally long, risky and in most cases prohibitavely expensive grafts. Positioning of the implant abutments, in these cases, is often not optimal. Smaller and fewer implants, in both diamter and lenght, are reguired. This greatly reduces the implant to bone interface, and the strenght of the implant system itself.
As you will see in the following examples, the Naisbitt CEI solves all of these limitations and eliminates risky alternative protocols.

Dr. Naisbitt is creating a surgical DVD recorded live that demonstrates how 125 maxillary and mandibular implants were placed using exactly the same surgical techniques and design concepts. The materials, site preparation , impression technique, suturing technique and sutures, implant design guidelines, antibacterial solutions and infection control, grafting technique, post operative requirements, prosthetic considerations and superstructure design concepts are exactly the same for all implants.
Dr. Naisbitt was born in Salt Lake City to Val and Ed Dixon. His father died suddenly when David was four years old. His mother remarried to John Naisbitt and the family moved to the Klamath Glenn in California. It was truly a Tom Sawyer life for David. He played with native Yurok Indian children and learned underwater basket weaving from their grandmothers on the banks of the Klamath River. He witnessed the destruction of the Redwood Forest and the once mighty Salmon runs on the Klamath River.
David showed special ability in music and science at an early age. By the age of nine he was giving piano recitals and had built his own Newtonian telescope, dissected frogs and built motorized model airplanes. www.davidedwardnaisbitt.com/p www.drdavidnaisbitt.us
At age fourteen David moved back to Salt Lake City. It took eight years to earn a degree in Business Management from the University of Utah, but it opened the door to his next amazing adventure in the United States Air Force. It had been his lifelong dream to fly jets in the Air Force. He graduated from undergraduate pilot training at the top of his class which allowed him to pick any aircraft he wanted. The C-141 Starlifter was his first choice. Over the next five years he flew combat missions in Viet Nam and routinely flew transoceanic flights to all parts of the free world.
One day in 1974 while pursuing his love of science he read an article in the New England Journal of Medicine about coral reefs made of hydroxylapatite. It described the material as new hope for replacing teeth and bone in humans. That changed the course of his life. He resigned his commission the Air Force and enrolled in an eighth year odyssey to become a dentist in the belief that this technology would be ready by the time he graduated. It was a dream that came true. Just as he finished earning his DMD from the Oregon Health Sciences University, biocompatible titanium implants and synthetic bone were coming to market. Taking advanced training from the leaders in the field Dr. Naisbitt developed successful procedures, improved techniques and custom milled and cast titanium implants that consistently proved to have long term viability.
Doctor Naisbitt has designed and built three practices for implants, prosthetics and crown and bridge. These practices were designed specifically for people suffering from advanced dental disease, masticatory dysfunction, and facial deformity related to loss of teeth and bone. Doctor Naisbitt has helped over 5000 patients from 14 foreign countries and 35 states over the past 28 years. He has also been very actively committed to helping other doctor’s benefit from his success in the field of oral implantology and marketing.
