Our dental experts at Moundbuilders General Dentistry utilize the really most current in digital dentistry, making sure precision placement of dental implants through the use of 3D Digital x-rays and computer assisted surgery. The resulting tooth restoration is more accurate, stable and takes less time to complete and heal.

Initially, 3D x-rays and impressions are taken of the jaw and teeth to figure out bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. A prior extraction/bone graft may also be needed in order to begin the implant process. Our doctors utilize Galileos 3D imaging for the highest x-ray graphic quality. One 14 second scan results in 200 individual exposures that show a person's teeth, bone structure and anatomical features, which enables clear navigation and certainty in diagnosis and treatment, removing any kind of guess work from the process.

At the next consultation, the implant is placed using a highly accurate computer-generated guide. The area is then allowed to stabilize and heal for a few months. People will come in monthly to make sure that the implant is healing, along with attaching to the bone.

When the healing process is full, we will take a digital impression, and a few weeks later the new tooth is placed to complete the process.
