As you know, implant is the best way to replace a missing tooth. Implants, like any other treatment, have improved with the advancement of technology, and there are different types, including immediate implants, mini implants, and digital implants.
Digital implant
Digital implants use new tools and 3D software for minimally invasive surgery. With digital implants, pain and bleeding are reduced to a great extent, and the base of the implant is placed inside the jaw with great precision.
Digital implants are more expensive than conventional implants due to the use of more technology and the need for higher expertise of the doctor.
What is digital implant surgery?
Losing teeth can be an unfortunate event for a person and can affect the health of the mouth, teeth, jaw bone and self-confidence. One of the best treatments for replacing a lost tooth is a dental implant
Digital implant surgery uses a 3D computer simulation to assess bone health and nerve status. With this information, a dentist will be able to plan a minimally invasive surgery. Because digital implant surgery involves the smallest possible incision, it is less painful than traditional implant surgery.
During the dental procedure, a precise guide is installed on your teeth to avoid damaging the nerve or surrounding teeth. The guide also helps dentists make precise but small incisions to place dental implants.
What is minimal incision surgery?
The meaning of minimal incision in digital implant is that the smallest incision is made on your gums to reduce the patient’s pain, length of recovery and avoid stitches. By means of the 3D simulator that was mentioned, the smallest incision is made and you will not need to do stitches for your gums.
Minimal incision surgery
Also, in digital implant, due to the fact that the smallest incision is made, the bleeding and swelling of the surgical area is reduced to a great extent, and the dentist no longer needs to cut the gum to the bone and check the condition of the nerves in the area.
How is digital implant performed?
The method of performing dental implants digitally is very similar to traditional implants. Digital implant steps include two sessions.
In the first step, the patient takes the necessary photos and takes them to the dentist. After checking the complete condition of the jaw and the toothless area digitally, the doctor starts the implant surgery.
The difference between digital implants and traditional implants is that the doctor uses advanced equipment and software to perform surgery with minimal pain, bleeding, and cuts, and digital implants are performed with the aim of high accuracy and less invasiveness.
Why choose a digital implant?
As you know, today there are different types of implants such as immediate implants, mini implants, digital implants. Each of these types of implants has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The purpose of digital implants is surgery with minimum incision and by using new technologies, the implant is placed in its exact place and increases the quality and longevity of the implants. Also, minimal incision surgery reduces pain and bleeding.
Does it hurt less?
In traditional implant surgery, a complete incision must be made in the toothless area, that’s why many patients have turned to digital implants. Digital dental implant surgery requires 3D photos and they examine the bone condition and nerve position by means of a simulator.
The incision in the digital tooth implant on your gums is so small that no stitches are needed after the implant operation, and your bleeding and swelling will be reduced to a great extent.
How long is the dental implant surgery?
Normally, the entire length of this operation lasts about 10 to 30 minutes, and of course, this time depends on the conditions of these people. It should be noted that the meaning of the action is the duration of the placement of the base
Who is digital implant suitable for?
Dental implants do not traditionally have age restrictions and all people whose jaws are fully grown can have implants. But some factors may cause treatment failure. The most important factor in implant failure is infection, and people with diabetes, cancer, and radiation therapy face problems for implant. Also, people who smoke should stop after the implant or reduce it to a large extent to prevent the implant.
