CEREC: Empowering Patients With Same-Day CEREC Dental Crown Solutions
July 15, 2024Are you considering a tooth implant procedure to restore your full smile? Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Coast Dental Coquitlam now offers guided implant surgery, a better technique for precise implant placement. Using advanced technology, we create a dental implant treatment plan that is more accurate and convenient for our patients.
Guided dental implant surgery uses superior technology to plan and execute implant placement with remarkable precision. Unlike traditional implant surgery, which relies heavily on the surgeon’s skill and experience, guided surgery uses computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology to create a custom treatment plan for each patient. This ensures the implants’ optimal positioning and reduces the risk of complications during the tooth implant procedure.

We use a cone beam X-ray machine from Dentsply Sirona and a Prime scan 3D teeth scanner from Dentsply Sirona to create an exact digital impression of your teeth and oral structures. From there, we can see where your bone structure and soft tissue are best suited for the implant to be successful and most aesthetically pleasing. A crown or bridge is designed before implant placement to achieve a desired aesthetic outcome. Using a surgical guide, the implant is then placed in the jaw bone so that a crown or bridge can be attached once it heals, or even immediately in some cases. This procedure can help improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, as well as their bite and general dental health.
Guided dental implant surgery improves accuracy and creates better patient outcomes. With the Astrech/Dentsply Sirona System, our dental team can precisely plan each implant’s position, angle, and depth before the surgery even begins. This streamlines the surgical process, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients. Guided surgery eliminates the need for additional invasive procedures, resulting in faster healing times and reduced discomfort.
Enhanced Safety in Implant Surgical Care
We have found that guided dental implant surgery improves the safety of both our patients and the dental team. By using 3D imaging, we can judge the jawbone and surrounding tissues with incredible accuracy. This helps our team identify potential obstacles or concerns before they become issues during surgery. This proactive approach reduces risks and improves communication between our dental team and patients. It helps everyone stay informed and work together effectively during treatment for optimal oral health results.

Same-Day Implants and Faster Recovery
In addition to improved accuracy and safety, guided dental implant surgery can result in shorter treatment times and faster recovery. With the Astrech/Dentsply Sirona System, our patients can enjoy convenient same-day implant placements. This gets rid of the need for multiple surgical visits and lengthy healing periods in between. Walk out of our office with a brand-new smile in just one day, allowing you to get back to your normal routine.
How Long Does an Implant Last?
Guided dental implant surgery ensures a more precise placement, which can contribute to the longevity of the implants. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, providing a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
