When we see patients with missing teeth, we want to offer a full smile with a replacement option that looks and functions like natural teeth. With dental implants, we can do that and ensure patients smile with confidence again. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about how we secure dental implants with state-of-the-art technology.
Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants
With dental implants, we will insert a biocompatible titanium post into the jaw that acts like a new root, lasting far longer than bridges or removable dentures. This can take on one missing tooth or be used to address advanced tooth loss by supporting dentures or a new set of teeth, sometimes in only one visit too.
Digital Imaging Technology
Our team will plan the entire process in detail with advanced digital imaging technology. For example, with I-CAT CT scanning, our team can look closely at the nerve tissues and bone structures in your jaw to help choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your dental implant posts. We also plan and guide the process with advanced x-ray images, using the Dexis digital x-rays. No need for bitewings or a lengthy development time, and the images are available right away chairside, all while using 90% less radiation! We can also obtain a detailed impression of your bite with a digital alternative to physical impressions, using the 3Shape Trios scanner.
To print your dental implant restorations and prosthetics, we can do so in-house with our SprintRay 3D printer, which in one visit can create custom and lifelike restorations and dentures, all with precision and accuracy. We can also help guide the implants into their proper place with Virtual Implant Placement software (VIP) and Exocad computer-generated implant guides.
Healing the Placement Area
To help the placement area heal, and to repair any deterioration in your bone structures, we could offer regenerative systems like Gem 21, Pep-Gen, and PRP Therapy, which involved injecting special autoplasm to facilitate healing in the underlying bone structure. This can prepare your smile for placement and to help the placement area heal faster. If we need to reshape your gums, we can do so with precision and comfort using advanced dental laser systems, such as Millenium Periolase and Biolase Waterlase systems.
