What is new with dental implants?

Dental implants have been used commonly for over 25 years and as dental implant technology has improved, so has the possibilities for various treatments.

Computer aided dental implant treatments have become a common procedure. This means that patients with complex or multiple implants are having pre-treatment CT-Scans of their jaws, and on the computer, dental implant plans are created in virtual reality. A computer is then able to create guides from the computer generated data. This guide allows for the placement of dental implants into the jaw in a precision controlled position which is super accurate to the original plan.

Typically, at Smile Artistry we find this form of treatment can significantly reduce patient surgery time and reduce post-operative pain.
