Why Specific Advanced Technologies Are Used When Placing Tooth Implants In Mount Prospect, IL? 

Because the number of dental implants used, and the angle and depth into the jawbone the dental implants will be placed in, vary from patient to patient, advanced dental technologies should be used to make sure they are predictably placed. At a caring and dedicated dental professional’s practice, the following are the types of advanced technologies used when placing tooth implants: 

Digital Imaging

Obtaining crisp and accurate images of a patient’s mouth is essential during the tooth implant treatment planning process. Digital imaging systems, like digital x-ray machines and cone beam CT scanners, make it possible for the dental professional to see all the interconnected structures of the mouth in amazing detail.

Digital x-rays give two-dimensional insights without requiring much radiation exposure. Best of all, they provide images right away. Within moments after a digital x-ray has been taken, the image can be evaluated on a computer.

Cone beam CT scans give more details in 3D renderings and are just as speedy. They showcase how all the parts of the mouth work together, as well as identify where the bone is strongest. Together, these two types of advanced technology promote confident tooth implant placement location decisions.

Non-Invasive Handheld Scanners

No longer do goopy physical impressions of each patient’s teeth and gums need to be used for a more precise tooth implant placement procedure. Today, the handheld iTero Element Scanner makes it possible to map out the interior of a patient’s mouth without relying on invasive trays filled with messy molding material.

The iTero Element Scanner can rapidly take pictures and then relay those pictures to special software. The software interprets each picture and constructs a three-dimensional model that can be rotated on-screen. This model is then used to construct tooth implant restorations like tooth crowns and dentures. 

CAD/CAM Machines

In the in-house dental lab, CAD/CAM machines are used to fabricate tooth crowns and other restorative devices for All-On-X dental implants, Teeth in a Day, overdentures, and other single (and multiple) tooth implant systems.

With CAD/CAM machines, the dental professional and team can handle all the aspects of a tooth implant treatment from beginning to end in-house. As a result, they can save patients tremendous amounts of time and money while still delivering incredible results.
