FULL ZIRCONIA DENTAL IMPLANTS

When patients express interest in zirconia implants, we conduct a thorough clinical examination and evaluation to determine if they are a suitable candidate. This involves assessing bone volume, height, and width. If the patient is deemed eligible, we proceed with the surgical phase where the implant is placed inside the bone. After a healing period of two to three months, we move on to the restorative phase, which involves placing the abutment and final crown or bridge. The entire treatment process typically takes between three to four months, depending on the extent of healing and bone graft required. If you’re considering zirconia implants, feel free to contact us for a complimentary consultation. Thank you for considering Obeid Dental.

As technology continues to advance, so too does the field of dentistry. One area that has seen significant improvements in recent years is digital dentistry. This technology has revolutionized the process of dental implant placement, making it faster, more accurate, and more comfortable for patients. In this blog post, we’ll explore the process and benefits of digital dentistry for dental implants.

Digital dentistry refers to the use of advanced technology in dental procedures. It involves the use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create dental restorations and implants.

The process starts with a digital scan of the patient’s mouth. This scan is used to create a 3D model of the mouth, which is then used to design the implant. The implant is then milled or 3D printed, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum accuracy.

 

Greater Accuracy
One of the most significant benefits of digital dentistry for dental implants is greater accuracy. Traditional implant placement involves a lot of guesswork, as the dentist relies on visual cues and their experience to determine the placement of the implant. With digital dentistry, the entire process is guided by advanced technology, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum accuracy.

Faster Treatment
Digital dentistry also makes the implant placement process faster. Traditional implant placement can take several appointments and weeks to complete. With digital dentistry, the process can often be completed in a single visit, with the implant being placed and restored in one appointment.

More Comfortable for Patients
Digital dentistry also makes the implant placement process more comfortable for patients. Using digital scanning and design eliminates the need for messy and uncomfortable traditional impressions. Additionally, using 3D printing and milling technology ensures the implant fits perfectly, reducing discomfort and improving overall patient satisfaction.

Improved Patient Communication
Digital dentistry also improves patient communication. With digital scans and 3D models, dentists can show patients exactly what their implant will look like and where it will be placed. This can help patients feel more informed and confident about the process, leading to greater overall satisfaction.

Long-Lasting Results
Finally, digital dentistry can result in long-lasting implant results. The advanced technology used in digital dentistry ensures that the implant fits perfectly and is placed in the ideal location for maximum stability and longevity.

Overall, digital dentistry has revolutionized the process of dental implant placement. Patients can enjoy improved dental health and confidence in their smiles with greater accuracy, faster treatment times, and more comfortable procedures. If you’re interested in dental implants, please don’t hesitate to call Obeid Dental about the benefits of digital dentistry for your specific needs.
