When your dentist or periodontist tells you you’re a good candidate for getting dental implants to replace damaged or missing teeth, you may simultaneously feel elated and a bit worried.
Elated because there is a real solution for you that will help fix your smile.
Worried because the thought of a getting dental implants may sound like potentially painful surgical procedure.
At the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants, Dr. Nick DeTure is using the latest technology to make dental implant procedures essentially ‘pain-free’. In fact, 50% of our patients get their dental implants with just numbing around the area that’s being worked on (and without being sedated). We do provide sedation dentistry as needed for our patients who are uncomfortable, however.
Using 3-D technology and imaging, we virtually map out your procedure ahead of time. We can understand the bone structure of your mouth and outline a plan for installing the implants. Essentially, we walk through your entire surgery, from initial X-rays through to completion before we even start. It sounds high-tech, and it is.
What does that mean for you, our patient? It means that dental implants are no longer a blind procedure. In the old days (which was not that long ago really), we didn’t know exactly what we were getting into before we started the surgery. But by using new technology, we can offer faster healing, less downtime, less post-operative pain, better placement of the implants and more accuracy.
That means a better, more natural end results so people don’t know you have dental implants. That’s great for our patients!
