The introduction of implant dentistry has laid the foundation for a new level of care and service that accomplishes today what was thought impossible only a few years ago. With recent advancements in dentistry over the last few years, implant technology has progressed even more with the introduction of computer guided implants. Dental implants can be used to replace one, some, or all of your missing teeth. They are more permanent, natural-looking substitutes on the market. Made from different types of metallic and/or bone-like ceramic materials, dental implants are compatible with body tissue. Computer Guided Implants Computer guided implant surgery is an interactive 3D computer imaging system that guides your dentist during implant surgery. With computer guided implant surgery, your dentist can virtually perform surgery before ever touching a patient's mouth. The information gathered is extremely accurate, allowing the dentists visualize the precise placement of simulated implants. It gives them the knowledge of the anatomy of the jaw in all three dimensions and helps to locate important internal structures to measure bone quality and quantity directly from these images. The use of computer guided implant surgery will help in the accuracy and comfort of replacing missing teeth. Because dental implant placement requires surgery, patients must be in good health, both general as well as: * Good oral hygiene
* Healthy gum tissue
* Doesn't smoke
* Doesn't have any chronic problems
* Isn't prone to infection or have periodontal disease
* Can afford a cosmetic/restorative dental procedure The Benefits of Dental Implants Since implants are securely attached to your jaw, you gain confidence to eat what you like, speak clearly and freedom from embarrassment. There are several advantages of dental implants over other restorative dental procedures. Implants restore a patient's teeth as closely as possible to their natural state. Plus, unlike removable dentures that can be embarrassing and inconvenient, implants are permanently set in place in your mouth, eliminating the need for pesky adhesives that keep dentures in place. Anchors that secure dental implants in place are integrated into the jawbone, making dental implants more stable than most other restorative dental techniques. And the stability and permanence of the implants help prevent bone loss and gum recession. Currently, dental implants are the only dental treatment option that preserve bone and maintain facial structures. Other benefits of implants include: * Increased support and stability of full upper or lower denture
* Enhanced chewing comfort
* Increased confidence while smiling, talking and eating
