DR. LEON CHEN
Dr. Leon Chen is the Founder and CEO of The Dental Implant Institute. Dr. Chen is world renowned for his development of the techniques of Hydraulic Sinus Condensing™ which was developed in 1995, and his Vertical Translation™ for Root/Implant Coverage, and Vertical Translation™ for Vertical and Horizontal Augmentation techniques, which were developed in 1997.

Through his Hydraulic Sinus Condensing™ and Vertical Ridge Augmentation invention, he developed a 5 in 1™ surgical procedure for complicated cases which allows a doctor to combine five surgeries, which previously took 16 months for the patient to heal, into one surgical visit that is less invasive, less painful, with a faster healing time of only 4 months, and the highest success rate. For ideal cases, Dr. Chen developed the 15 Minute Implant™, which is performed using the special patented drill he invented for this procedure. He revolutionized the field of implant dentistry, and through his inventions, has changed the dental textbooks on implants. Presently, Dr. Chen is focusing his efforts on Implant Complication Management™.
