Diagnostics and Digital Smile Preview

Digital diagnostics are a cornerstone of your consultation and treatment. To painlessly capture high-resolution images of your mouth and bone structure, we use an intraoral scanner and a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine. This information allows us to digitally design your new smile, illustrating everything from the color and shape of each tooth in your final restoration.

These diagnostics allow us to plan the placement of your dental implants and design a custom surgical guide. Our unique digital process allows you to visualize the results of your digital implants in a fraction of the time. Moreover, our unique digital process includes a smile preview feature, allowing you to visualize your smile before any treatment is even completed, providing you with an accurate preview of the beautiful results you can expect to achieve.

What to Expect with Dental Implants

Experience a stress-free surgical journey in the comfort of your private surgical suite, where we provide you with every tool you need to remain relaxed during the duration of your procedure. Prior to surgery, we may plan extractions or bone grafting to establish an ideal foundation for the long-term success of your dental implants.

With our innovative All-on-X full-mouth dental implant protocol, we can even achieve a natural-looking and minimally invasive dental implant procedure by setting a complete set of teeth on strategically angled posts. These dental implants will be positioned in your jawbone at a 45-degree angle to ensure optimal support and longevity of your brand-new smile.

Once placed, we’ll allow your jawbone 4-6 months to heal while it fuses with your dental implants through a process called osseointegration. During this healing phase, we’ll provide a beautiful temporary restoration on the day of your surgery for an immediate smile enhancement and to aid in comfortable healing.

Once your dental implant posts have fully healed, we will set your final restorations, crafted with the highest quality materials granting you the strength, stability, and natural appearance to enjoy your favorite foods with confidence, celebrating your transformed smile.
