The Doctor Who Wrote the Book—Literally
When dentists across the world need to learn the most advanced techniques in bone grafting and implant dentistry, many of them turn to the same source: the published research and textbooks of Dr. Craig Misch.
At most dental practices, you’re trusting your care to someone who studied from a textbook. At Misch Implant & Aesthetic Dentistry, you’re trusting your care to the doctor who wrote the textbook. That’s the difference between learning a technique and pioneering it.

Published Research & Textbooks
Advancing the Science of Bone Augmentation
Dr. Craig Misch has dedicated his career not just to treating patients, but to advancing the entire field of implant dentistry. His published works have become essential reading for oral surgeons, periodontists, and implant specialists around the globe.
When a complex case lands on another dentist’s desk—one where the patient doesn’t have enough bone for implants, where previous grafts have failed, where the textbook solutions don’t work—many of those dentists consult Dr. Misch’s research for answers. Now imagine having that same expertise available for your own care.

Recognition: Top 10 Bestselling Title from Quintessence Publishing
This comprehensive textbook represents decades of clinical experience distilled into a single authoritative resource. It covers the full spectrum of bone augmentation techniques—from socket grafting after tooth extraction to complex vertical ridge augmentation for patients who’ve been told they “don’t have enough bone” for implants.
Dental professionals worldwide use this text as their primary reference when planning difficult cases. The techniques described aren’t theoretical—they’re the same approaches Dr. Misch uses every day in our Sarasota practice.
Why This Matters for Your Care
When you’re considering dental implants and another practice tells you that you’re “not a candidate” due to bone loss, there’s a good chance the technique that could help you is documented in Dr. Misch’s research. We don’t just know about advanced bone grafting—we helped develop it.

Why Credentials Matter for Complex Dental Cases
The Difference Between Learning and Mastering
Every dentist attended dental school. Every oral surgeon completed a residency. But there’s a vast difference between completing training and advancing the field itself.
When you need routine dental care, credentials may not matter much. But when you’re facing a complex case—severe bone loss, failed previous implants, full-arch reconstruction—you want the doctor who has seen thousands of similar cases, published research on the techniques, and taught other doctors how to handle them.
Questions to Ask Any Provider
Before committing to a high-ticket dental procedure, consider asking:
- Has this doctor published research on the procedure I need?
- Do other dentists refer complex cases to this practice?
- Is this doctor recognized by professional organizations in their specialty?
- How many cases like mine has this team completed?
At Misch Implant & Aesthetic Dentistry, we welcome these questions. The answers consistently point to why patients travel from across Florida—and sometimes across the country—for care that’s simply not available elsewhere.
