Prosthodontic Excellence Meets TikTok Personality: Dr. Kurtz and Jshock’s Journey
Dr. Kenneth Kurtz, ACP President Elect, recently had the opportunity to treat Jshock, a dynamic TikTok creator referred by a dual-degree oral surgeon for his highly complex dental needs. The treatment involved addressing intricate 3D craniofacial issues through staged bone grafting and dental implants - requiring Jshock to “gum it” longer than anyone would have preferred. Unbeknownst to Dr. Kurtz, Jshock was documenting parts of the journey on his phone, culminating in a memorable mirror reveal that captured the transformative impact of prosthodontic care.
This video highlights the critical role prosthodontists play in coordinating multi-specialty dental treatment. As Jshock now transitions to orthodontic care, his implant-supported provisionals will guide ideal molar movement, demonstrating how thoughtful sequencing can optimize outcomes. Watch the video to see how expert care and patient personality came together in a truly memorable treatment experience.
