Single Dental Implants
Single dental implants are the most common type of implant. They are a fantastic way to replace missing teeth and avoid having to wear dentures. Teeth implants are made from titanium and can last for 20-30 years.
The dental implant procedure is usually done in two steps:
- First, a temporary crown is placed on the implant.
- Then, after healing, the permanent crown is placed.
Why is a CBCT scan necessary?
Your dentist will likely request a CBCT scan when you are being evaluated for dental implants. You may be curious as to what a CBCT scanner is and why it is necessary.
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a 3D imaging technology, or x-ray, that allows dentists to evaluate the underlying bone structure, nerve pathways, and surrounding soft tissues. A CBCT scan can show potential dental issues such as tooth decay, bone loss, abnormal growths, and much more. It is necessary for you to have a strong jawbone and healthy gums in order for dental implants to be an effective tooth replacement option. So, the data captured enables your dentist to determine if dental implants can be safely and effectively installed.
During a CBCT scan, the imaging machine rotates completely around the patient’s head. In most cases, a full mouth CBCT scan takes only 20-40 seconds.
