i3D Smart Scanner
A i3D Smart Scanner provides highly
detailed images of your oral structures that show more than what’s possible using a traditional X-ray.
It features your oral structures in their entirety, including your sinuses, nerve pathways, and soft tissues.
This gives Dr. Patel a clear picture of your oral health to look for any areas of concern that may hinder the
long-term success of your new smile, such as an untreated infection or low bone density.
Using the information from the scan, Dr. Patel can see if you need additional procedures before placing your
implant posts, such as bone grafting or periodontal therapy. He can also use the scan to pinpoint the ideal
locations for your posts to ensure your jawbone can support them.
Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras give your dentist in Virginia Beach a snapshot of your mouth. The tiny devices allow Dr.
Patel to see large images inside your mouth in real-time. This makes it easy to perform your dental implant
procedure with precision using the high-resolution images.
Soft Tissue Lasers
A soft tissue laser provides a safer and more effective alternative to a traditional scalpel during your
implant placement. The highly concentrated laser beam accurately targets a treatment area to leave the
surrounding areas undamaged. It also sterilizes and cauterizes while it cuts to reduce the risk of infection
and bleeding.
Digital Impression Systems
Now, you don’t need to hold a messy, foul-tasting material in your mouth to get the specifications
necessary to create your restorations. Instead, a quick, painless scan is taken of your mouth to get the
information Dr. Patel needs to craft your new teeth. Not only does this enhance your comfort, but it also
reduces any room for error to ensure your new smile looks and functions just like your real teeth.
Sedation
You will need oral surgery when replacing your teeth with dental implants, but there is no need to worry. Dr.
Patel is trained to safely administer sedation to ensure your comfort. You are closely monitored for your
safety as he places your implant posts.
