Implant placement using CBCT

With computer imaging and CBCT scan Ridgetop Dental’s restorative and cosmetic dentists in Northern Virginia can map out the bone quantity and quality to see where they can place dental implants using “Guided Technology” and “A Graftless Solution”. This technology allows patients to have extractions, and fixed permanent teeth the same day. This technique is called Teeth-In-Same-Day that need to be performed by well-trained surgeons, like Ridgetop Dental’s expert surgeons in Northern Virginia.

Bone Grafting

A piece of bone is taken from a number of sources such as the tibia, hip, chin and posterior regions of the lower jaw, which is secured as ‘onlay graft’ to the deficient area. He bone which is placed in the deficient area, gradually becomes a part of that area and dental implant can be comfortably placed on it.

Other modern techniques used

Other techniques include-bone grafting using Platelet Rich Plasma (It uses growth factors from the patient’s own blood), rhBMP (bone morphogenic protein), harvesting patient’s own natural bone or grafting using cadaveric bone and substitutes.

In this age of modern technology, bone loss should not stop you from enjoying the benefits of dental implants. Visit Ridgetop Dental today, to map out your bone density using the revolutionary CBCT scan.

CBCT scan technology is becoming the preferred tool for the diagnosis of dental implant placement and position. Here are some of the main benefits it offers:

·         Many patients face anxiety before dental implant surgery, minimally invasive procedure helps reduce their anxiety.

CBCT scan, which is used by Ridgetop Dental’s Northern VA dental clinic allows proper diagnosis and can be used to virtually place dental implants using the computer program

·         It’s an outstanding technology, which helps to understand the risks involved in surgical implant placement.

·         CBCT scan eliminates possible implant placement errors, leading to greater success.

·         CBCT scan makes surgical placement of dental implants minimally invasive and more predictable. Dental implants can be appropriately positioned for more accurate results.

CBCT Scans give our doctors the ability to visualize the true three-dimensional anatomy of your teeth, jaws and facial skeleton, as well as other vital structures of the head and neck region in precise and extreme detail.
