Dental Implants New Baltimore, MI


Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. Our CAD/CAM technology makes placing an implant much easier. 

First, we take a CBCT scan to evaluate the bone level, and digital impression with a quick scan. If there is insufficient bone to support the implant, a bone graft is needed.

The data is then merged to plan the implant placement, and a surgical guide is made with this data:

Next, the surgical guide is used to place the implant into the bone, and a healing cap is placed to allow the tissue to heal for two months. Once the tissue is healed, a crown is milled in our office and cemented in.
