 Digital Dental Implant Surgery – What is it?

Streamlining Tooth Replacement with Digital Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium-based artificial tooth root used to sustain potential restorations such as crowns. If a patient has lost one or more permanent teeth and wants to keep their beautiful smile, they may consider a dental implant. Titanium dental implants will successfully fuse with bone, providing a solid base for potential dental restorations.

Crowns, which are screwed onto the implants, should not be confused with dental implants. The implant crown is shaped, sized, and vital to match the original tooth, giving you confidence in your new smile. An experienced dentist can suggest various dental implant options, such as an implant-supported bridge or implant-supported denture, based on your specific needs. When the crown is in place and over the dental implant, you can't hope to see it.

What is digital dental implant surgery, and how does it work?

A 3D computer simulation is used to check the bone condition and nerve location during digital implant surgery (also known as digital navigation implant surgery). A reputable cosmetic dentist would be able to schedule a procedure with minimal incisions using this knowledge. Compared to conventional implant surgery, there is considerably less discomfort with digital implant surgery because it focuses on making the most minor incision possible.

A detailed guide is placed over the teeth during the dental implant treatment to ensure that no nerves or teeth are damaged. The guide also aids dentists in making precise but tiny incisions for placing dental implants.

 

What does minimal incision surgery mean?

The concept behind minimal incision surgery is that people will only have to undergo minor incisions to reduce pain, distress, and recovery. This entails making tiny enough incisions for dental implants to eliminate the need for sutures.

Minimal incision surgery also helps to reduce the amount of bleeding and swelling that occurs during dental surgery. In contrast, general incision surgery necessitates the dentist cutting the gum to the bone to confirm the location of the nerves and examine bone condition.

 

What are the benefits of digital dental implant surgery?

The following are some of the advantages of remote implant dentistry:

  • They protect the jawbone and other facial features, allowing you to keep your facial structure.
  • They restore the functionality of your teeth with the next best thing to natural teeth.
  • They improve the appearance of your smile as a whole.
  • They will help you speak more clearly because they are more like natural teeth and are easier to talk with than conventional dentures.
  • They are more comfortable to chew with than conventional dentures, and they are sturdy enough to bite into a variety of foods.
  • You no longer have to worry about cavities with dental implants, but you should also see your dentist regularly to ensure that the implants and your gums are kept as clean and safe as possible.
  • Digital dental implants can help hold the other teeth in their proper locations by preventing pressure from building up, which can cause teeth to shift.
  • Unlike conventional dentures, digital dental implants will not fall out when you laugh, sneeze, chew, or cough, saving you from embarrassment.
  • Dentures and fixed bridges do not last as long as digital dental implants. While crowns can need to be replaced, they may last a decade or more if properly cared for.
  • There are some advantages of automated dental implants as opposed to conventional insert methods. The entire process can be simplified thanks to technological developments in imaging, scanning, and computing, resulting in fewer visits and even greater precision.
  • Since the procedure is done without incisions or stitches, there is less disruption to the delicate gum tissue. Consequently, the operation takes less time.
  • The digital dental implant procedure is less painful and inconvenient, and patients are much happier as a result.
 

Is minimal incision surgery more comfortable than other dental implant procedures?

The gum must be removed for the entire length of where the implants would be implanted in conventional dental implant surgery. This is why a growing number of patients are opting for digital implant surgery. Since 3D CT images are used to verify the bone condition and nerve location, digital implant surgery involves a small incision. On the other hand, traditional dental implant surgery necessitates a big incision down the length of your gums to the bone.

Sutures are not needed because the hole we create to insert your dental implant is small. This not only cuts down on healing time but also lowers the risk of swelling, bleeding, and infection.
