Cutting-Edge Technology and Exceptional Care Give Patients a Reason to Smile

(Newswire.net — March 20, 2018) Fort Lauderdale, FL — Dental implant surgeries like All-On-4 implants have been made easier and more precise with the use of cutting-edge technologies like CBCT and Cerec scanning. This technology, along with guided implant surgery, means patients are getting better results and are more satisfied with their outcomes. This is good news for cosmetic dentist Dr. Gary Kodish of Kodish Dental Group in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who relies on modern technology every day in his dental practice.

Dr. Gary Kodish, an AAID (American Academy of Implant Dentists) credentialed implant dentist, routinely performs All-on-4 implant surgery on patients with multiple cracked, missing or damaged teeth. All-on-4 is a set of 4 dental implants which completely replaces the whole top or bottom row of teeth, resulting in a transformed smile. The advantage of All-on-4 implants is the ability to restore beauty, function, and health to all of your teeth with one simple solution while avoiding the hassles of dentures.

As you can imagine, achieving a dramatic smile make-over is no easy task. However, with state-of-the-art equipment such as a CBCT scanner, Cerec scanner, and surgical guides at his fingertips, Dr. Kodish can perform these surgeries with great success. In his opinion, this equipment is essential to improve the accuracy and ease of treatment for procedures like dental implants, and to give his patients the best results possible.

A CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) is a specialized CT scanner used to capture 3-D images of the teeth, jaw, and face which are more detailed than the 2-D images standard X-rays provide. With just one simple scan, Dr. Kodish can get a complete picture of the craniofacial region and plan his treatment with utmost precision to create a naturally beautiful smile for his patients.

A Cerec scanner is a small camera that allows Dr. Kodish to take 3-D color pictures. The pictures are uploaded to a computer program and then used to create custom implants. With this technology, digital teeth impressions are taken quickly and efficiently, and patients are spared the awkwardness and discomfort of conventional impression trays. Furthermore, this technology facilitates proper placement of the implants, which is crucial in determining long-term success.

Information gleaned from both the CBCT and Cerec scanner, when used with the accompanying software, allows Dr. Kodish to see a digital model of the proposed implants and show patients what their new smile will look like almost immediately. With the use of this equipment, patients can get faster, safer and more precise treatment.

A surgical guide is a tool that is used to place implants in the appropriate position during surgery. Not only does the guide ensure accurate placement of the implant, but it maximizes the safety of the patient. The guide has safeguards to ensure there a limit to how deep the drill and implant can go into the jaw, making the procedure easier for the dentist to perform and safer for the patient.

In practice, use of this advanced technology is comfortable and painless and provides virtually no risk to the patient. However, if you are pregnant, it is recommended you advise your dentist. In most cases, the benefits of precise dental implant placement far outweigh any potential risks of using the equipment.

When choosing a cosmetic dentist, it is essential to confirm they are a credentialed dental implant expert and are using the most up-to-date equipment and technology. By asking these important questions, you can feel confident trusting your cosmetic dentist to give you a healthy smile using the safest methods available.
