If your tooth has been deemed unrestorable by your dentist, it may need to be extracted. When a tooth is extracted, it’ll also need to be restored, most often with dental implants.
Dental implants not only prevent shifting teeth, imbalanced biting forces, and aesthetic complications but also mimic the root of your teeth to ward off bone loss. Additionally, with a prosthetic crown, your dental implant will look and feel like a natural tooth.
Although dental implants are an excellent option for tooth replacement, precise treatment planning is essential for the best possible results. A detailed treatment plan will ensure that your implant is placed in the optimal location for complete comfort and function.
Read on to learn more about how treatment planning guides help with dental implants.
The Benefits of Surgical Guides
Treatment planning for dental implants involves determining the appropriate distances from anatomical landmarks in the jaw. Placing a dental implant without a surgical guide leaves the surgeon to estimate the angle and depth of the implant placement. This technique diminishes the procedure’s precision and can ultimately affect the longevity and success of your dental implant.
At Dental Implant Solutionz, our surgeon’s treatment plan surgical guides for dental implant placement. These guides are custom-made to adapt to your mouth and accurately guide the implant drill.
The benefits of treatment planning guides are:
- Ideal angulation and depth of the dental implant
- Reduced procedure time
- A safer procedure that protects your nerves and sinuses from damage
- Cost-effective, as errors in implant placement, can lead to additional correction costs
