The dental implant process means we insert new roots into your jaw, and restores them with crowns or dentures. To ensure we replace missing teeth with advanced technology properly, we plan and guide the process with digital systems from x-rays to intraoral cameras. In today’s blog, find out how your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons fill the gaps in your smile with implant dentistry!
Planning Your Treatment
First, we need to understand the factors behind your missing teeth, and to assess the severity of any underlying oral health issues. To begin, we will take detailed panoramic x-rays with a digital system. This means the pictures will be available right away, and will help us plan the procedure in detail, identifying the strongest portions of your jawbone and avoiding sinus cavities or nerve tissues. All while only using 90% less radiation! We then combine the images to create a 3D model, so we can choose the best site to place your new dental implants.
Guiding Your New Teeth in Place
With cone beam computed technology (CBCT), we can also look at the jawbone to assess the best placement area. Next, a detailed surgical guide is used in conjunction with the CBCT system to guide the new implants into the jawbone, choosing the right position and depth to support a new tooth and also stimulate the growth of bone tissue. You avoid further tooth loss, and your new implants have the potential to last for decades to come.
Restoring Your New Smile
Once we’ve used technology to place your new roots, we will move on to the visible portion of your new smile, craft the restoration, bridges, or dentures that will offer new chewing surfaces and a natural-looking appearance. We want you to be able to smile with confidence once again, and also eat your favorite foods once again. During follow-up visits, we will make sure your new teeth remain properly in place and continue to offer dependable tooth replacement. We can help those with one or more missing teeth, even if years have passed since you lost your teeth. If you have any questions about how we address missing teeth with implant technology, and guide the process with digital systems, then contact our team today. We would love to help you end 2021 with a complete smile, ready to smile and enjoy your favorite dishes without hesitation!
