Conebeam 3D Imaging:
3D imaging scanner has been designed for dentistry. The precise imaging permits us to diagnose from accurate, undistorted, one-to- one images. This results in greater diagnostic accuracy and greater diagnostic confidence.
3D offers the ability to enhance treatment planning, and obtain more consistent patient outcomes. Beyond the clinical aspects, Galileos is also a wonderful patient education tool. For the first time patients can see their anatomy in accurate real-life perspectives that allows them to understand their own oral health. This improved comprehension leads to a greater bond between patient and doctor. Patient positioning is quick, just relax, and 14 seconds later the scan is complete.
Imaging software does the rest. Yes, any view we need, on demand, from the same single scan. The system also includes treatment planning software, integrated implant planning, and the ability to order surgical guides. This means that there will be no surprises when we proceed with your treatment. We choose the Galileos 3D product because of the very low radiation exposure compared to other brands of dental 3D and up to 100 times less than traditional CT scan taken at hospitals. The 3D scan with Galileos is less than half the radiation from a traditional dental film full mouth series.
Dental Implant Planning:
Properly placing implants in a patient’s jaw is a complicated procedure. There are a lot of things that the dental implant dentist must consider before rushing into dental implant surgery. It is not uncommon for a dental implant to be incorrectly placed into an area where the dental implant can not be restored. Remember, dental implant patients do not come to a dental office for dental implants, dental implant patients come for teeth, teeth that look good and teeth that can chew and of course, it is important to evaluate the condition of the surviving natural teeth that a dental implant patient has.
The surgical placement of dental implants must be planned based on what a patient wants to achieve. In most cases, a dental implant should be placed directly under where the final tooth will be constructed.
A careful dental implant dentist will use 3D imaging treatment plans for the final result he is trying to achieve. The plan shows where the dental implants should be placed and where the dental implant crowns will look the best. In fact, the dental implant dentist can make a plastic surgical guide to assist him in marking the jaw bone exactly where he wants the dental implants to go. Unfortunately, many dental implant dentists just guestimate the placement of their dental implants and this can result in misplacement.
As a dental implant patient, you deserve the best. You deserve excellent dental implant treatment planning to improve the chances that everything will go well with your dental implants. Good dental implant treatment planning involves taking x-rays (3D Cone Beam) to create a virtual computer model of you. The dental implant dentist can then do virtual surgery on you in his computer before he ever touches you! This helps shorten your dental implant surgery and can help improve the results that you and your dental implant dentist want. We can help all of this become a reality since we own a Galileos 3D Cone beam made by Sirona Dental System, LLC. Come in and take a look.
The human body needs time to grow and heal so be patient and research the subject thoroughly. Planning and placing dental implants properly takes precision to get the kind of results that most dental implant patients want.
