Digital Technology-Assisted Implants

One aspect of high-tech dentistry that we have incorporated into our practice recently is the use of CT scan digital technology. We use the scan with the NobelGuide software from Nobel Biocare to help with treatment planning for guided surgery for our edentulous and partially edentulous patients. What this means is that we can now digitally treatment plan implant cases for excellent surgical and restorative results in 3-D. This results in ideally placed implants which in turn results in simpler prosthetics and superior restorations. This technology is useful in placing implants for either single tooth implants or multiple implants for implant-supported bridges or dentures.

What this means for the patient is:

  • fewer appointments
  • exact fit
  • immediate, fixed provisionals, in appropriate cases

If you are interested in learning how digital technology can benefit you for implants or dentures, please contact Dr. Nippoldt at the Centre for Distinctive Dentistry at 651-739-8573.
