Implant?

An implant is an artificial tooth embedded in the jawbone to replace a lost tooth. The artificial tooth is divided into three main parts: a titanium screw-shaped fixture that is anchored in the gums, an intermediate connecting device called a healing abutment, and a crown that forms the top part.

For a successful implant surgery, the most crucial aspect is ensuring that the fixture is accurately positioned, oriented, and placed at the correct depth in the gums.

Digital Implants?

The implant procedures can be categorized into traditional implants and digital implants, depending on the surgical approach. Traditional implants often rely heavily on the manual skills of individual dentists during the fabrication of artificial teeth and the surgical process. On the other hand, digital implants leverage digital technology and equipment, significantly increasing the precision of the surgery without the need for incisions in the gums.

One-Day Implants?

One-day implantation is a surgery that combines tooth extraction and implant placement in a single day. Utilizing digital implantation technology, this surgery allows for the completion of implantation, including prosthetic restoration, in a day, whereas traditional implant surgery may take six months or more.

Differences between Traditional Implants and Digital Implants?

<The Difference between Traditional Implants and Digital Implants>

Digital implants, in comparison to traditional implants, utilize “Digital 3D CT and intraoral scanners” to design and manufacture implants. This allows for a more <rapid> and <precise> treatment. With non-incision procedures, digital implants also reduce patient <pain>, promote <quicker recovery>, and save <time>. Most importantly, through precise diagnosis and customized surgery based on simulations, digital implants significantly decrease the risk of failure. This technology enables the easy and secure performance of complex implant procedures.
