Dental implants are a lifelike and long-lasting solution to tooth loss, and we can even replace an entire smile with fixed dentures. To ensure the success and longevity of your new teeth, we will oversee each step of the process with advanced technology. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontists talk about how we use state-of-the-art technology to place your dental implants.
Dental Implants
Let’s talk a little about dental implants. These are replacement teeth that can help people with missing teeth due to gum disease, but unlike bridges or removable dentures, these are inserted into the jawbone and act like natural roots. Since the body accepts them as such, and stimulates the growth of jawbone structure to prevent the loss of mass and density that usually occurs following tooth loss. As a result, your new tooth can stay in place for decades to come, potentially even a lifetime. Our team can use one to address an individual missing tooth, or several to support bridges or a fixed set of dentures. We will plan and guide the process with advanced technology to ensure the success and longevity of your new teeth!
Imaging Technology
Our team wants to ensure your jaw has the structure to support new teeth without first undergoing grafting or a sinus lift. We also need to choose the best positions and angles to support the new teeth, while also avoiding contact with blood vessels, nerve tissues, and sinus cavities. With I-CAT CT scanning, we can analyze the structures under your gums to plan the placement process in detail. We can also peer beneath the gums with our Dexis digital x-rays, which use 90% less radiation, don’t require bitewings, and provide images instantly chairside to make the planning process much simpler.
3D Technology
We also use advanced 3D technology as part of the placement process. With the 3Shape Trios Scanner, we can obtain clear and detailed images of the smile to plan placement. We also have the Virtual Implant Software (VIP) software to plan the procedure and minimize the impacts of oral surgery, and the Exocad implant guide, which uses CT scans to plan the placement process in detail and provide guides for our team to use. But what about the restorations and prosthetics, the parts people see when you smile, and the parts that allow you to enjoy your favorite foods again? For these, we can use the SprintRay 3D Printer to create custom restorations and prosthetics in only one visit.
