Dental Implants in the Digital Age
Replacing teeth with biocompatible dental implants is safe and predictable. Using 3D digital technology improves the ability to place dental implants in the right position. Anatomy such as nerves, blood vessels, sinuses are easy to see in 3 dimensions. Bone levels, thickness, quality, and location is visualized on the computer screen. Virtual reality planning with advanced computer software puts a computer-generated dental implant on the computer screen in a precise location.
CAD-CAM technology used in our Phoenix Arizona dental office makes implant planning and placement safer and more predictable for our implant dentist, Dr. Ebner. Dr. Ebner has invested in digital technology to bring her dental implant patients a greater measure of safety when she performs dental surgery in her dental clinic. Taking a 3D digital x-ray is part of her implant consultation for each curious dental implant patient. When she places the digital image on the screen in front of her patients, she is able to show her patient the pros and cons of dental implants to replace missing teeth that are specific to their situation.
When it is time to place the tooth crown on the dental implant, Dr. Ebner uses another piece of digital technology to precisely and accurately gather the necessary information that the dental lab needs to fabricate a compatible, comfortable, and esthetically beautiful tooth. The 3D digital scanner captures the dental implant, gums, surrounding teeth, and the way all the teeth fit together with digital accuracy. The file is sent to the lab via email and is retained in the patient file.
