Problems You Can Avoid with a Dental Implant When Seeing a Dentist Who Utilizes SICAT Implant Technology

You are missing a tooth (or multiple teeth) and have elected to receive dental implants. You’ve done your research and have learned of the many benefits a dental implant offers that other tooth replacement options cannot quite match. Now, you are seeking a dental team trusted in dental implants and has a superior success rate. Look no further than Dr. Sandra Vukovic and the team at Wolfy Dental Group in Wallingford, Connecticut. Dr. Vukovic and her team have seen unparalleled success with dental implants thanks to their utilization of surgical guide and SICAT Implant Software.

We are using surgical guide and SICAT implant software is leading-edge technology that allows dentists to surgically insert dental implants with accuracy previously unheard of. Because accuracy is so critical in placing a dental implant, choosing a dentist who utilizes SICAT ensures you are putting yourself in skillful hands. If you still aren’t sold on choosing a dentist, such as Dr. Vukovic, who uses SICAT technology,with surgical guide that can help to place implant, from ideal “crown-down” position, meaning, we plan your ideal position of the crown, merge that file from CEREC with CBCT and plan to place implant in that ideal position with surgical guide.

IMPLANTED AT INCORRECT ANGLE

Dental implants need to be placed straight into the jaw. When placed at even a slightly incorrect angle, you will face future implant problems or even an outright failure due to the insufficient jawbone to support an improperly inserted implant.

NOT SURROUNDED BY BONE

When a dental implant is inserted, it must be set firmly into the jaw and surrounded by enough jaw bone to ensure long-term strength and integrity. When an implant does not have enough supporting jawbone, you will face long-term implant issues, including the bone receding and the implant coming loose.

SPACING IS INCORRECT

Dental implants need to be placed between 1.5 and 2 mm away from adjacent teeth to maintain proper spacing. When an implant is set too close (or far) from teeth, you will face issues, including gum recession or bone loss. Chewing can also be affected, and there could be an issue setting the crown on the implant.

Every issue mentioned here can be avoided with a doctor with pinpoint accuracy during the implant procedure. Using surgical guide, this is precisely what Dr. Sandra Vukovic offers. To schedule an appointment at Wolfy Dental Group in Wallingford, Connecticut, please call (203) 902-3629.
