Advanced Digital Dentistry

At West Ajax Dental, we use CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology that integrates with digital scanning and digital design software for production of dental restorations. All the components of the CAD CAM system work simultaneously ensuring accuracy, consistency and efficiency. We are able to combine CAD-CAM technology with our Dental Laboratory skills to produce fabrications of the highest quality.

This process is based on a 3D CBCT (3-Dimensional Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan which allows us to examine the available bone from multiple angles and gives us a very accurate view of the existing bone and adjacent anatomical structures. This digital data is utilized in planning software that allows us to virtually place the proposed Dental Implant precisely into the available bone.

This virtual plan is then used by your Ajax dentist, to create a customized surgical guide for dental implant placement which allows for very accurate placement of the implants into the bone at the time of surgical placement of the Dental Implant (Implant Surgery).

Since there is no need to visualize the bone, an option of not cutting gums and “peeled back” to expose the bone, the procedure is described as a minimally invasive dental implant surgery or flap less.

Computer Guided implant placement methods can be utilized for single-tooth implant placement as well as multiple-teeth implant placements, including a full arch All-on-4 and All-on-6 type cases.
