Dental implants can offer tooth replacement for minor or even severe cases of tooth loss. To ensure comfortable placement, long-lasting tooth replacement, and a faster healing period, we can use advanced technology. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist talks about technology and dental implant placement.
Planning Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are actually inserted into the jawbone, where they bond with the bone structure and act like new roots. This is what enables them to last so much longer than bridges and removable dentures, often for decades or even a lifetime. To ensure they can last and offer durable tooth replacement, we will plan the placement process with detailed digital imagery. With I-CAT CT scanning, our team will look at the underlying bone and nerve tissues, so we can plan placement to avoid blood vessels, nerve tissues, and sinus cavities. We also want to ensure the bone structure can support the posts and support teeth for years to come! We can also employ advanced digital x-rays and even the 3Shape Trios scanner.
The Implant Placement and Restoration
Once we have chosen the best areas to insert these posts and start the replacement process, we will guide the process with advanced digital imaging. Our team can use Virtual Implant Placement (VIP) software to minimize the impact of the oral surgery and ensure the posts are inserted at the right angle, positions, and depths. For complicated cases, we may use the Exocad computer-generated guide, which employs CT scanning. These help with securing the root portion, but what about the part people see? With the SprintRay 3D Printer, our team will custom-made restoration and even multiple teeth to address minor or severe tooth loss, creating new restorations that complete the tooth and offer a lifelike appearance.
Ensuring a Faster Healing Process
The placement of dental implants involves inserting the posts into the jawbone. We want to help the area heal faster so you can return to your normal routine with a full smile. Fortunately, we have regenerative technologies! With PRP Therapy, Gem 21, and Pep-Gen, our team can promote faster healing of bone and gum tissues. If we need to reshape the gum line as part of the process, we can use advanced laser systems to do so with precision and comfort. If you have any questions about the technologies we use to ensure a complication-free placement and healing period, then contact our team today to learn more.
