3i Dental Implants

3i dental implants are less invasive and more natural looking.  They are used to to replace teeth that you may have lost either due to an injury or because of a disease.  Of course, they can also be used in order to secure any loose dentures that you may possibly have.

With 3i dental implants, you will enjoy the following benefits:

1. You will have better oral health because these dental implants are integrated into your bone and thus they prevent any of the bone loss or gum recession that may be caused by bridges.
2. You will have improved self-confidence because your dental implants will look and feel natural.  This means that you will not have to worry about the nuisances that come with dentures and bridgework.  You also will not have to be afraid of anyone ever being able to tell that you have “false” teeth.
3. Your dental implants will last a lot longer than traditional bridges or partial dentures, which will usually need to be replaced every 10 years or less whereas dental implants can last for a lifetime.

If you decide that you want to get 3i dental implants, you will want to find someone who specializes in them.  Once you are satisfied with the dentist that you have chosen, the procedure can begin.  Herein a small titanium pin will be placed inside of your jawbone in order to mimic your missing tooth’s root.  A crown, which will act like an abutment, will then be built on top of the implant.

While this procedure may sound invasive, it actually does more to save your teeth than traditional bridgework does.  This is because with bridges your dentist will have to grind down your neighboring teeth in order to fit the new bridge.  You can expect between a 90 and 98% success rate with 3i dental implants.  This percentage is increased if you undergo a CAT scan because the procedure will allow your dentist to properly view your jaw alignment.  Unfortunately, this is not something that all dentists do before doing the dental implant procedure. 

Of course, there are other specialized types of equipment that will further help to enhance your dental implant procedure.  For instance, the CB MercuRay Scanner from Hitachi Medical Systems is a machine that in 1, 10 second rotation can provide your dentist with 2D images and 3D volume reconstructions.  These can be used for advanced planning and diagnostic support.  The plus side is that all of this can actually be done with 70% less radiation.  Not only will this advanced technology help your dentist to provide you with the ultimate in patient care but it will also be convenient for you at the same time.

Whenever this type of advanced technology is coupled with your dentist’s advanced training, you will have the greatest chance of getting successful 3i dental implants.  This is why you really should have a dental implant specialist who is also a periodontist do this procedure for you.  They are the ones who have completed the extensive training that is needed for doing these advanced periodontal procedures.
