The dentist that performs the procedure should have the latest 3d digital technology which will allow him/her to mark the nerves and ‘plan’ the implant site. This technology shows the exact location, depth and angle of the implant prior to placing it in the mouth. An implant guide is created from the data which is used to ‘guide’ the drill into the bone ensuring the proper angle, depth and placement.

The smaller implants allow the denture to ‘snap’ into place which provides a strong bond to the gums of the denture wearer. A smaller denture can be used if mini implants are in place. Implants can also be used to hold a bridge or partial. In the event that a patient is missing several teeth an implant or implants can be placed at either end of the row of missing teeth and can then secure a bridge or partial.
