Dental implants have proved to be a blessing for many people. If you have a gap in your smile, an implant can be a permanent remedy to fill in the space. A partial plate can be a nuisance, and having a permanent implant in that spot would be much more satisfactory. The implanted tooth or teeth will function just like your own natural teeth – and will look great. When people have missing teeth, they tend to be more self-conscious about their appearance, smile less, and eating may be more difficult for them. If they are not able to eat hard foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, they may develop nutritional deficiencies. Missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and other health issues. For your overall health, as well as for an enhanced appearance, consider dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Because of technological advances in the dental implant field, experts have developed a 3-D imaging procedure that aids modern dentists in the process of implantation. 3-D imaging software used along with the I-CAT dental CT scan allows dentists to gauge the structure of the bone accurately and outline the best areas of strength. The 3-D imaging also helps dentists to picture the positioning of dental implants precisely before surgery. With this imaging, dentists create a surgical template for use in the procedure. When the surgery for dental implants is guided by the new technology, the process is simpler and produces results that are more satisfactory than what was possible before the 3-D imaging was available.
Dr. Djawdan has this 3-D imaging technology in his office and is experienced and highly qualified in its use. If an implant is not placed in the proper position, there is a possibility that it could fail. However, with the amazing 3-D imaging equipment, he can be extremely precise in diagnosing and treating each individual case, and it provides an exceptionally high degree of accuracy in placing the implants correctly. His many satisfied patients have high praise for his meticulous attention to detail and expert care in every aspect of the treatment.
If you have missing teeth, make an appointment to consult with Dr. Djawdan to determine if dental implants would be appropriate for you. If the answer is yes, you will look – and feel – like a new person when your implants are in place. You will be able to eat foods that provide more nutrition, and you will look wonderful when you smile.
