3D Printing

3D printing technology can be utilized as a tool to aid in our diagnosis and treatment of complex periodontal defects and implant placement. 3D printing allows us to perform same day dentistry with high precision and esthetics. Using digital dentistry technology, we can print surgical guides which allows your periodontist to precisely place your dental implant with less morbidity, less surgical time and quicker healing. It also allows your periodontist to print a temporary restoration (crown) the same day so that you never go without a tooth in the aesthetic area.

In cases where one is lacking enough bone volume for an implant and a ridge augmentation is needed, a 3D model of your jaw is printed This reduces the surgical time as the information gained from the 3D model helps your periodontist to predefine the surgery and selection of biomaterials used to treat the defect prior to your scheduled surgical procedure.
