When you have gaps in your smile due to tooth loss, we can help with the placement of advanced dental implants. To guide this process and ensure long-lasting and durable tooth replacement, we will aid the process with advanced digital technology. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about implant dentistry and digital technology.
Planning Treatment with Digital X-Rays
We want to plan the implant placement procedure in detail and ensure you obtain optimal results, with improvements to not only the health and function of your smile, but to your smile’s appearance too. As part of this process, we will gather detailed digital x-rays, including panoramic images of your teeth, jaws, head, and oral structures. These allow us to conduct a precise diagnosis and complete treatment with precision and accuracy. The digital option allows us to use 90% less radiation and gather images without uncomfortable bite wings. Instead, the images will be available chairside right away, no need to wait for a long and drawn-out development process. We can walk you through the process, and if necessary, easily send images to your general dentist or orthodontist to continue care as needed.
3D Cone Beam Scans
Our can also create 3D images of your head and mouth with a CAT scan known as cone-beam computed tomography, or CBCT. We can use these images to pinpoint the position of wisdom teeth or impacted teeth, or to locate the best area to insert dental implants for people undergoing tooth replacement. We can also identify nerve tissues, blood vessels, and sinus cavities to avoid during jaw surgery or when treating facial trauma.
Guiding the Surgery
Did you know that we also have an array of detailed surgical guides as well? These can be used to guide the insertion of new dental implants to ensure uniformity and an optimal appearance. We can also guide jaw surgeries, wisdom tooth extraction, and dental implant placement. If you have any questions about the technologies we use to remove the function, health, and beauty of your smile, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you obtain your best possible smile, and to enjoy a lifetime of beautiful smiles and balanced bites.
