Computer-Guided Implant Surgery

What are dental implants?

Surgically implanted teeth are complete physical replacements. First, a high grade titanium stud is implanted into your jaw. Then a ceramic crown is placed over the top that looks and functions like your original tooth. As wonderful as implants are, not all installation procedures are the same. A computer guided process is preferred because it improves the accuracy and ease of installation.

What is computer guided implant surgery?

Before beginning work on your jaw, Dr. Sheth uses a 3D CT Scan to capture an image of your jaw structure. With this data, sophisticated software creates a digital model of the shape of your mouth.

This technology creates a precise image of your:

Anatomical jaw structure

Maxillary sinuses

Nerve locations

Spaces of your salivary glands

Knowing this critical information takes all of the guesswork out of your surgery and helps Dr. Sheth to precisely install your implants.

Care

You must take care as it is fixed like your natural teeth. You should brush and floss twice a day. Avoid hard food like nuts, hard candy, ice cubes etc. Visit your dentist every 6 months. With proper care, your implant will last longer and may be up to the rest of your life.
