I have just spent a pleasurable hour\u00a0chatting to the\u00a0dentist behind\u00a0 a new dental implant \u00a0system called Implant Pilot. It is a new way of using computer guided surgery to make the whole procedure less stressful for our patients. By using accurate 3D\u00a0\u00a0jaw scans and combining them with \u00a0optical scans of your mouth, the more conventional approach of\u00a0 cutting and folding back the gum can often be avoided. While the technology involved is both amazing and exciting the important part is that it \u00a0means fewer stitches or\u00a0in some cases none at all after treatment.\u00a0 Most patients tell us after implant placement that they were\u00a0 pleasantly surprised at how straight forwards the process was but I do think that this system has the potential to take things to the next level, increasing comfort and reducing tenderness on the days after treatment.\u00a0Anything that can make\u00a0implant based treatments even easier to cope with than they already are can only be a good thing.\u00a0 Our \u00a0team are scheduled to learn more about this new technology soon and are hoping to incorporate this technology into our practice at Craigentinny Dental Care over the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
