Previous Dental Implant Treatments

The usual case with dental implants was that a specialist would do the implant post portion of the procedure. The specialist would place the implant posts in the jaw where they thought they would fit best.

Then, your general dentist would have to match what the specialist did. Going off of the previous work, they would have to figure out a way to make everything look natural without knowing ahead of time what the specialist had done. We want to make sure that your custom dental crown fits in with your smile perfectly.

Computer-Guided Implant Placement

Now, the process can be all in one. We can perform all parts of the implant process here in our office with Dentsply Sirona dental implants. Our office utilizes Simplant digital solutions for computer-guided implant placement. In addition, we use the Astra Tech Implant System to get the best response and relationship between the jawbone and the implant.

Simplant allows us to completely plan your implant procedure with a 3D model on the computer. We can combine digital impressions and a complete bone scan to get an accurate image of your mouth. With this technology, we can get precise results and make sure the implant is going to be in the best possible place in your mouth.

With this technology, we can also make sure you’re more involved with the implant process. We can explain what we’re doing and why this placement is going to be the best option for a successful implant. You can find comfort knowing that your treatment is precisely planned out before we ever start the surgery.

Dental Implant Technology FAQs

How accurate is guided implant placement?

Guided implant placement is exceptionally accurate, thanks to advanced digital imaging and 3D modeling. These technologies enable us to plan the implant’s exact position, angle, and depth before surgery. This high level of accuracy reduces the risk of complications and enhances the overall success of the procedure. Overall, compared to traditional methods, guided placement significantly improves accuracy.

What are the risks associated with computer-guided implant placement?

The risks associated with computer-guided implant placement are similar to traditional implant surgery. You still have the normal risk of infection or implant failure. However, the enhanced accuracy can reduce the risks of damage to nearby nerves or sinuses. We will explain all potential risks and how they are minimized.

Are dental implants made with advanced technology more durable?

Yes, the precision of advanced technology can enhance the durability of your implants. Proper placement reduces stress on the implant and surrounding bone. High-quality systems like Astra Tech are designed for long-lasting success.

Can anyone get dental implants with computer-guided placement?

Most people are good candidates, but adequate bone density and overall oral health are important. We’ll assess your individual situation to determine if this method suits you. Certain medical conditions might require special consideration.

How does computer-guided implant placement improve the dental implant process?

This technology helps avoid critical areas like nerves and sinuses by providing a detailed virtual model of your mouth. It makes the surgery more accurate and often quicker. Patients may experience less discomfort and a faster healing time as a result.

Initial healing typically takes a few days to a week. Because of the precise placement, you might experience less swelling and discomfort. Full integration of the implant with your jawbone takes a few months.
