Learn about the different types of dental implants with Swiss Medical Center in this article.
Computerized dental implants.
This implant procedure is non-surgical, painless, and does not require cutting the gums. It is computer-guided and can be used for cases with adequate bone density. During the procedure, three-dimensional computer images of the jaws are utilized to prevent future risks. The technique offers the benefit of enabling the doctor to identify errors that can be avoided before beginning the procedure.
Computerized dental implants are a new type of dental implant.
Dental implants using computer technology are a practical option with fewer risks and complications compared to traditional implants. The procedure involves a CT scan of the patient’s jaw to provide the doctor with a better understanding of the condition, allowing for appropriate treatment. Laser technology is used during the operation for accuracy and precision.
Immediate dental implants.
Dental implants can be done quickly using the immediate method, which involves placing the implant directly into the jaw bone cavity after the tooth is removed. This procedure can be done as soon as the tooth is extracted, and it takes about a week for the wound to heal. After that, the new tooth will be stable enough to function normally and protect the gums from any issues related to tooth loss.
Dental implants.
Dental implants are an effective solution for missing teeth as they fuse with the jaw bone in a few months.
Complete jaw implant
People who have lost their jaw teeth can undergo a complete jaw implant procedure. This involves placing 4, 6, or 8 implants depending on the individual case. After the implants are in place, the doctor proceeds to install either fixed or removable bridges, depending on what is suitable for the patient. These bridges are securely attached to the implants.
Before undergoing jaw implant surgery, certain steps need to be taken.
Initially, a 3D CT scan of the jaw is conducted by the doctor to assess the bone condition and density. This helps in determining the appropriate length, width, and dimensions of the implant that would be suitable for the condition of the jaw. The necessary tools for the surgery are then prepared with utmost care and attention to detail.
