Do you want replacement teeth but not the lengthy wait time between implants and denture placement? Consider computer guided dental implants!

Computer guided dental surgery is a massive step forward in dental implant technology where dentists combine the same Computerized Tomography (CT) scans used by surgeons to aid in joint replacement and 3D imaging to visualize implant placement in three dimensions. This means they don’t have to make educated guesses when they place dental implants in your jawbone because they know exactly where to go.

Computer guided dental implants also allow dentists to create restorative dentures and bridges before the implants are even placed so the prosthetic can be placed the day of surgery rather than weeks or months later. The process is so quick from start to finish it’s often referred to as Teeth in an Hour.

The new technology available for computer guided dental implants ensures safer and more accurate implant placement and gives patients permanent teeth in only a few hours. Surgery is simpler and less invasive and patients can usually look forward to a shorter recovery time.

Like all dental implants, computer guided implants mimic the strength and feel of natural teeth. Not every cosmetic dental clinic is equipped with CT scan technology, so if you’d like to be considered for the procedure, look up dentists who do, or ask your dentist for a referral.

Your dentist will give you information about the procedure and assess your medical and dental history to see if the surgery is right for you. Patients who don’t have enough bone density to support the implants might be better off considering another procedure.
