It goes without saying that when it comes down to it, nobody wants to lose a permanent tooth. After all, consistent preventive practices and care should be all it takes to maintain a healthy smile for life, right? On the contrary, there are just so many factors out there that can negatively influence your grin that tooth loss may at some point be unavoidable. Do not fret, however, because this does not mean you are doomed to sport an incomplete smile for the rest of your life. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist explains the benefits of replacement teeth and how our implant technology pays mind to quality and efficiency every step of the process.

Taking X-Rays and CAT Scans

Thanks to advancements in dental technology and equipment, enduring the loss of one or more teeth is not as bad as it used to be. You see, dental implants not only help address a noticeable gap in your smile from a missing tooth, but it also takes care to improve your oral function as well. But how exactly do we get to this point? Why, with the help of technology!

Indeed, our team utilizes a few different technological processes during every step of your treatment to ensure consistency and quality throughout. We begin by taking your x-rays to obtain a precise look at your dental needs and situation. To ensure we have a complete view of your grin, we take x-ray images of your smile from different angles.

Following this step, we utilize computerized axial tomography (CAT) to obtain a full and complete picture of your oral health. This occurs by combining your various x-rays to create a comprehensive image. Contact our team to learn more today.

Utilizing Laser Procedures

For some individuals, the need for a replacement tooth becomes apparent even before the structure has been removed or fallen out on its own. To aid in this process, our team utilizes a specially-calibrated laser to help remove compromised teeth.

We also utilize laser procedures to assist in bone grafting when a structure has been missing for some time and the jawbone has begun to degrade. Laser technology allows for greater precision and minimizes the amount of trauma your tissues experience, making it a highly-efficient tool in implant procedures.

CAD/CAM Technology

During the implant creation process, our team utilizes computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to plan, design, and ultimately place your restorations. This process not only allows our team to create your restorations in-office, but it helps eliminate significant wait times for completed treatment!
