Why do I need Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a long-lasting and effective replacement for missing teeth. Implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
What are the benefits of using the newest dental technologies?
Patients want dental implant surgery to be as smooth and painless as possible. New dental technologies enable dentists to focus on precision and accurately insert implants in a minimally invasive, same-day guided surgery. This eliminates poorly placed implants which can become loose, painful, or cause esthetic problems.
What are the new dental technologies? Why do I care?
A scanner combined with CT guidance offers dentists like Dr. Weichholz interactive precise guidance, which is like GPS for the dentist’s drill. He can look at the computer screen to focus precisely during the dental implant surgery. A 3D image of the patient’s mouth is created immediately, so there is no need to take impressions with the gooey stuff in your mouth which are unpleasant and take time.
Why are scanners and 3D imaging better for my post-implant-surgery recovery?
For the patient, this means implants with less postoperative pain, fewer complications, a more comfortable experience, faster recovery, and ideal functional and cosmetic results.
Why would I want the dentist to keep my digital records?
This technology allows the dentist to keep digital records of patient’s teeth in case something gets broken – the digitally stored picture of how the teeth look helps him monitor overtime changes in gum recession, tooth grinding and potential problems.
Who do I go to for the most cutting-edge implant treatment?
Dr. Dani Weichholz, in Beit Shemesh, has made the investment in technologies like laser, CT guidance, scanners and the top materials for dental implants. He is a certified specialist in Periodontology and Implantology from Columbia University.
Before deciding on a dental implant(s), you should choose a professional periodontist who has completed training in dental implant surgery and has made the investment in utilizing technology to provide the best results for their patients. Accuracy and precision of where that implant is placed during surgery are critical to its success.
