What are dental implants?
Dental implants are used to replace the root portion of a missing tooth. A screw has to be placed in your gums and then a crown is placed on the abutment to give the perception of a real tooth, With proper maintenance the implant can last up to twenty-five years. The procedure involves very little discomfort and some patients even state that it is less painful than an extraction. There is local anesthesia that is used for the procedure.
DSD Implant Guides
The Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a sophisticated tool designed to enhance the accuracy and predictability of rehabilitating fully and non fully edentulous jaws. It provides a detailed, three-dimensional plan for implant placement and immediate provisional loading, which is crucial for complex dental cases.
The system operates through a series of surgical guides that are used during various stages of the rehabilitation process. These stages can include:
Teeth Extractions: The guides help ensure that any remaining teeth are removed with precision, maintaining the structural integrity of the jaw and preparing it for implants.
Osteotomies: For cases requiring bone modification, the guides assist in performing osteotomies accurately to create the optimal conditions for implant placement.
Implant Placements: The guides are crucial for positioning implants in the exact locations as planned in the three-dimensional design, which enhances the chances of successful integration and long-term stability.
Immediate Prothesis Installation: Following implant placement, the system supports the immediate installation of provisional prostheses, which can help in both function and aesthetics while waiting for the final prosthetic work.
By using the DSD, we can achieve a higher level of predictability and precision in these complex procedures, which can significantly improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
