At your personalized dental implant consultation, we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take digital X-rays and create a customized treatment plan. We’ll also use our CBCT scanner to evaluate your underlying bone structure, nerve pathways and surrounding soft tissues. We use the 3D image produced from the scans to determine if your bone is adequate and also to plan the most optimal sites for dental implants.
If you need tooth extraction or bone grafting, sometimes these procedures can be performed at the same time as dental implant surgery. In other cases, we may wait until the sites have healed before your dental implants are placed. We use fully guided techniques to plan and deliver efficient procedures with precision outcomes.
In addition to local anesthesia, you can choose nitrous oxide or oral sedation to ensure your ultimate comfort during surgery. We offer immediate load restorations fabricated from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that you’ll wear during the healing period. The benefits of PMMA include low cost, biocompatibility, ease of fabrication, stability in the oral environment and natural-looking aesthetics.
As your mouth heals over the next three or more months, your temporary tooth or teeth will enable you to eat comfortably and enjoy restored smile aesthetics until you’re fitted with the custom-made, zirconia dental implant restoration.
