Dental implants What is a dental implant? A dental implant is a metal post which acts as an artificial tooth root. A dentist uses implants to anchor a prosthetic to the jawbone.

E L

RESTORATION A restoration is a custom lifelike prosthetic that replaces the natural tooth or teeth. Single tooth restorations are called crowns.

How do implants work?

P

Implants are made of commercially-pure titanium and, once placed, fuse to natural bone. This remarkable biocompatibility is safe, with millions of implants successfully placed each year.

M A

ABUTMENT

Why use an implant?

S

Implants help prevent, or reverse, bone loss. If left untreated, it can result in painful chewing, tooth loss, or facial changes. Once restored with implants, patients regain their natural appearance, function, and self-confidence.

When are implants appropriate? Implants are one of the most appropriate and effective treatment options when a patient seeks to regain the function and esthetics of their missing natural teeth.

Full-arch restorations What is the “Transition Zone”?

FP1 Designed with only prosthetic teeth visible, no prosthetic gums. The patient’s natural gums are typically visible when smiling.

The transition zone is the space where the full-arch restoration meets the natural gumline. Your transition zone is typically visible when giving a wide smile. Your doctor will carefully consider this zone when choosing which type of full-arch restoration will be best for you.

P

E L

What are the types of full-arch restoration?

M A

In general, there are three different types of full-arch restoration:

S

1. FP1- Restorations with only prosthetic teeth visible, no prosthetic gums

S

2. FP2- Restorations with a small amount of prosthetic gums visible 3. FP3- Restorations with full prosthetic gums visible The decision of which option is most appropriate for you will be made by your doctor. Your doctor will consider information such as; how wide your smile is, how big your jaw bones are, how symmetrical your face is, and your transition zone.

What is CHROME GuidedSMILE? Full-arch implants may be placed in the mouth ‘hand-guided’ or ‘computer-guided.’ CHROME GuidedSMILE is a patented surgical guide system designed specifically for full-arch, computer-guided, implant surgeries.

E L

What is computer-guided surgery?

Computer-guided surgery is when a doctor uses advanced imaging technology and software to aid in the process of planning and executing dental implant surgery.

P

A part of the computer-guided surgical process is the creation of a surgical guide. A surgical guide is a tool that aids doctors to place dental implants precisely at the correct location, angle and depth in the bone.

Why choose CHROME GuidedSMILE? Safer

Faster

Dental implants must be placed in a precise way. Implant position, angle, and depth in the jawbone is vitally important.

Computer-guided surgery is 2 to 3 times faster (2 to 4 hours per arch) than hand-guided surgery. All major factors have been analyzed in advance of surgery, so you get your teeth fast - on the same day.

E L

Compared to hand-guided implants, the precision of computerguided implants has become the new gold standard. Data has shown implant failure rates to be almost 3 times higher with hand-guided versus computer-guided surgery.

P

Small errors during hand-guided surgery can require additional drilling, resulting in larger implant holes and potentially long-term re-treatment. Computer-guided surgical protocols are a simply a more sophisticated, accurate approach to implants.

Stronger

S

M A

M A S L P

Quicker surgeries result in using less anesthesia during surgery, and result in less pain and discomfort to the patient post-surgery. Healing is faster and most patients require nothing more than basic over the counter medication for a few days.

Much like how a house needs a strong foundation, a surgery needs a strong guide to support it. Unlike other surgical guides, which are made of plastic, CHROME guides are made of an extremely durable Cobalt Chrome alloy. This material is over 20 times stronger than surgical plastic and will not flex or break during surgery.

Answering your questions Is treatment painful? No. During the procedure you will be numb. Implants are placed under anesthesia – either locally or with sedation. Our dentists report that most patients (90% or more) experience no pain, or only minimal swelling/bruising in the days following surgery.

P

Do I really get a new smile in just a day?

M A

Yes. Dentists using computer-guided surgical protocols are consistently able to provide their patients with same-day smiles, because all planning is done before the day-of-surgery.

Can smokers get implants? Yes, it is possible to get implants as a smoker, but you will need to put your habit on hold for the best chances of a successful outcome.

I have a chronic illness- can I still get implants? It depends. Unless well-controlled with medicine, chronic illnesses can interfere with healing after surgery. Those with a history of uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, and autoimmune disorders may not be good candidates for implants.

M A

Will I be awake during treatment?

Questions for your Doctor

for implants, but in cases where it is indicated, it can help to significantly improve treatment outcome. Only your dentist or oral surgeon can determine if your mouth will benefit from bone grafting.

Will implants set off an airport metal detector? No. The majority of metal detectors used by the TSA work by creating an electromagnetic field, which sets off an alarm when it detects any nearby magnetic metals. In most cases, dental implants are made from titanium, a nonmagnetic metal.

P

Can I have a MRI with dental implants?

M A

Yes. The most commonly used metal for implants, titanium, is completely non-reactive to magnetism. Because it is not magnetic, it will not interfere with an MRI or cause any negative side effects.

C Cavity Also known as tooth decay or “caries,” a cavity is a dental infection caused by toxins produced by bacteria.

A Abutment An abutment is a connective titanium component between an implant and a restoration. Arch

E L

An arch refers to the arrangement of teeth and gum as a whole; i.e. either the top or bottom set of teeth. The terms upper arch and lower arch are used when talking about the set of teeth either on the upper or lower jaw. See also: “Full-arch”

CBCT scan A CBCT scan is a specialized type of x-ray that produces undistorted three-dimensional digital imaging of the teeth, tissue, and bone. A CBCT scan provides high-definition images with substantially less radiation to the patient compared to a regular CT examination. CHROME GuidedSMILE

CHROME GuidedSMILE is a patented surgical guide system designed specifically for full-arch implant surgeries. See also: “Computer-guided Surgery”

S

Computer-guided surgery is when a doctor uses advanced imaging technology (e.g., CBCT scans) and software to aid in the process of planning and executing a dental implant surgery. See also: “Surgical guide” Crown

A bridge is a type of dental restoration that replaces missing teeth. A bridge is different from a crown because it is anchored to adjacent healthy teeth (or implants) and spans the space of the missing tooth/teeth. Traditional bridges require the surrounding natural teeth to be filed down and cemented to the bridge.

38 Glossary

S

Also known as a “cap”, a crown is a dental restoration covering all or most of a single natural tooth. A crown can be made of zirconia, porcelain, composite, or metal.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to repair or rebuild bone tissue. Missing bone is replaced with material from the patient’s own body, or bone substitutes, to encourage regeneration. Bridge

Denture A denture is a prosthetic used to replace some or all of the natural teeth. Unlike full-arch restorations which are permanently fixed in the mouth, a denture is removable from the mouth and will need maintenance to keep a secure fit.

R Restoration A restoration is a custom, lifelike prosthetic that replaces the natural tooth or teeth. Restorations that replace teeth are called crowns. Restorations that replace multiple teeth are called bridges. Restorations that replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth are called full-arch prosthetics or bridges.

E Esthetics
