Learning more about computer-guided implant surgery will dispel any doubts you may have about your upcoming implant treatment. Here are some of the benefits of this procedure:
- Greater Accuracy
Dental implants are considered the “gold standard” for replacing lost teeth. The implant itself is a small, biocompatible titanium screw that functions as an artificial tooth root. It’s inserted into your jawbone surgically, where, over a period of four to six months, it will integrate into your bone system. Through the use of cone beam CT scans (CBCT), Drs. Richardson and Sandifer can determine the best location for your implants to achieve optimal osseointegration results. Using 3D computer imaging technology, we can plan and implement your surgery with greater accuracy and precision.
- Less Downtime and Risk of Injury
CBCT gives Drs. Richardson and Sandifer a clear picture of the location of sinuses, blood vessels, nerves, and other vital structures in your jaw so they can avoid them when placing your implants. This minimizes your risk of injury, reduces downtime, and promotes a quicker, less painful recovery. With CBCT, implant candidates can look forward to safer implant surgery with positive outcomes. Â
- Customized Treatment
With CBCT implant placement, we can tailor your treatment to your unique anatomy to achieve optimal results. There’s no guesswork, as the computer images provide all the information needed to successfully plan and execute your treatment. Accurate implant placement ensures long-lasting results from your procedure. With proper care, your implants can provide you with a lifetime of quality use.
- Shorter Surgical Procedure Â
Computer-guided implant placement can help your surgery go more smoothly, with fewer interruptions and complications, shortening the timeframe of your procedure. Implant surgery is done under local anesthesia to avoid discomfort and pain, so a shorter treatment time will mean less time under anesthesia.
- Less Stressful Procedure.
With CBCT implant placement, you can look forward to a more comfortable, stress-free treatment. CBCT can contribute to a smoother surgical procedure, fewer post-op complications, and quicker recovery. The quick, efficient, and time-saving process can produce amazing results. More importantly, CBCT can dispel any doubts you may have about the safety of implant treatment so you can benefit from all it has to offer to restore your smile.
