Digital dental implants

Dentistry has undergone a real revolution as a result of technological advancements over the last few decades. Thanks to advanced equipment and sophisticated software, dentists today are able to provide good, efficient, and fast care to their patients.

Computer-aided implant planning

Performing dental implant surgery requires implant planning. Here, the goal is to visualize the mouth and jaw cavity with the exact and correct position of the future teeth. By doing so, it is possible to control what happens in the oral cavity and ensure maximum accuracy at all times.

A 3D computer program shows the entire structure of the oral cavity during treatment planning. In order to plan the placement of the implants in the most accurate manner, the dentist uses computer software to obtain an accurate image of the patient’s mouth and jaw.

Benefits of performing a digital dental implant procedure

As a result of periodontal disease or advanced age, many patients suffer from bone loss in their mouths.

These patients will need bone augmentation or bone strengthening before the implant process can be performed in their oral cavity. With the help of a computerized dental implant, one can visualize the full mouth image, identify the more problematic areas, and prepare for them in advance. Through a digital dental implant, it is possible to determine what are the strengths of the jaw and where bone can be taken for implantation.

Patients with defective or abnormal jaw structures can also benefit from this type of treatment. Moreover, the software can help create a rehabilitation plan for missing, crooked, or bruised teeth.

A practical approach to digital dental implants

A digital dental implant has many advantages beyond its planning phase. Based on the patient’s computerized imaging, the dentist can build a model for him based on the data received after preparing the treatment plan. The preparation of the model (template) by computer software allows for accurate and high-quality results, as opposed to the manual construction of implants in the past which was characterized by defects and inaccuracy.

Furthermore, the digital implant procedure allows the patient and the dentist to see the final result of the procedure and confirm its accuracy by building a simulation of the oral cavity after the insertion of the implants.
