Exhilaration and Despair – Dr. O. Hilt Tatum

 “It all started at a poker table when a fella mentioned we could replace three inside partials with endosteal implants. And boy did that set me off,” Dr. O. Hilt Tatum. Dr. O. Hilt Tatum has won almost every award the AAID has to offer and is recognized world-wide for his accomplishments in implant dentistry. Not only has Dr. Tatum solved some of the most complicated dental implant cases, but he has also overcome many near-death experiences.
