With the advancement of technology, we can offer cutting edge technologies to dental patients. Some of the new technologies are computer-assisted implant design, mini-implants, real-like dental crowns, and restoration technology.

In history, we know that missing teeth were substituted with seashells attached to the jawbone. Of course, modern implant technology is a lot more sophisticated, but the concept is the same: placing an artificial root into the jawbone to keep the new tooth. According to the Wikipedia article Dental Implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw to support a dental prosthesis.

Dental implants are invented by a Swedish medical researcher by the 1950s and then the breakthrough innovation came when he saw that titanium can integrate with the bone. Of course, a lot has changed since the first invention. In this article, we will discuss today’s improvements in dental implant technologies.

Computer-assisted Implant Design

During dental surgeries, we aim to have reasonable bone stability. This is because bone loss is still a risk during dental operations. Considering this risk, researches and dentists are trying to find new ways to prevent bone loss. And with the latest advancement, dental implants can ensure zero bone loss with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM).

With this technology, we can create a duplicate of the missing teeth and this enables us to replace it in the mouth. The greatest benefit of this new technology is that patients can go through a symptom-free healing process. We shouldn’t forget to mention the benefit for dentists as it enables a more efficient way of creating dental implants.

Mini-implants

Mini-implants are known to be the new fashion for dental operations. Mini-implants cause less pain and cost less than conventional implants. For these newest dental implants, patients don’t need to wait for the healing process. They can wear implants right away.

Real-Like Dental Crowns

Previous dental technologies have made dental implants look real, but with new technologies, the implants look even more realistic. New 3D printing devices make it possible to create more real-like dental crowns. For this technology, the dentist takes a digital impression of the mouth with a digital device. Then digital device creates a 3D view of the teeth and gums. Then these images are printed with a 3D printer. We can get the highest precision with 3D printing since printers convert digital images to precise physical products.

Restoration Technology

Dental restorations have a long history since the first porcelain teeth used in the dentistry market three centuries ago. Today, we use advanced ceramics that are extremely durable for restoration technologies. With this technology, patients can benefit from dental hybrid restorations. They are attached to dental implants, and the user cannot remove it, but the dentist can do it if it is necessary for cleaning and repair. Hybrid restoration is one of the best options for people who are looking for a full mouth replacement.
