How Technology Is Revolutionizing Dental Implants In East Lansing

Advanced Technology for Dental Implants at East Lansing Modern Dental

At East Lansing Modern Dental, we stay at the forefront of dental technology to give our patients the highest quality care. To support this goal, we prioritize proven innovations that continue to transform the dental implant experience in East Lansing.

For instance, in addition to digital X-rays—which offer valuable insight into oral tissue health—we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanners and CEREC same-day crowns. Together, these advanced tools have revolutionized how we plan and place implants. As a result, they improve outcomes while making the entire process more efficient and patient-friendly.

What Are CBCT Scanners and How Do They Help Implant Patients?

In short, CBCT scanners provide a detailed, 3D view of your jaw, teeth, and surrounding tissues—a significant upgrade from traditional X-rays. Thanks to this enhanced imaging, we gain several advantages during implant planning:

  • Enhanced Accuracy: High-resolution 3D images allow us to assess bone structure and surrounding tissues in greater detail. Therefore, we can prepare a highly personalized treatment plan and achieve more precise implant placement.
  • Lower Risk: By visualizing critical structures like nerves and sinuses, CBCT imaging helps us avoid complications. Consequently, patients benefit from safer, more predictable procedures.

How Do CEREC Same-Day Crowns Benefit Implant Patients?

CEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) has transformed how dental crowns are made and placed. Not only does it allow us to create durable, natural-looking crowns for healthy teeth, but also, it benefits implant patients by offering custom restorations in just one visit.

  • Time Savings: In the past, receiving a dental crown involved multiple appointments and temporary crowns. Today, CEREC enables us to complete the process in one visit—ultimately saving you time and hassle.
  • Perfect Fit: Digital impressions provide a precise 3D model of your teeth. As a result, your crown fits comfortably and aligns seamlessly with surrounding teeth. In the end, you get a restoration that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
