We’re going to discuss something that the majority of dental implant patients would never consider; the type of technology that your dental practice has to offer. If you’re getting a dental implant, you’re investing in something that should last you a lifetime - as long as the implant is placed correctly using the correct technology.
The Importance of a 3D CT Scan
Every dentist that places implants should have a 3D CT Scanner. There are many professionals out there that believe traditional x-rays are sufficient for dental implant placement - whilst it is doable, this is not the best approach.
The problem with traditional x-rays is that they only offer two-dimensional images of your teeth and these images do not allow for you to get a thorough layout of your bone structure.
With a 3D CT scan, your dentist can view the bone in your mouth from different angles and thoroughly plan out your dental implant surgery. This allows your dentist to lower the risk of human error during dental implant placement. In fact, these scans can even be used to print a 3D surgical guide so we can place the implants at the perfect depth and angle.
At Painfree Dentistry, we offer this highly advanced service that ensures a thoroughly planned out dental implant surgery with comfortability and minimal stress. Remember, if you’re thinking about getting a dental implant, always refer to a provider that uses a 3D CT scan and not traditional x-rays.
