Here is a case replacing missing front teeth with a man from Naperville that I thought you might like to see.  In implant dentistry precision is necessary.  We can only place an implant where there is a sufficient amount of bone.  Unfortunately many people wait too long and the amount of bone withers away leaving us with a very narrow amount of bone to place the implants.
This is where I use 3 dimensional x-rays called a CT scan.  These are then transferred into a computer software program (Simplant or Nobel Guide) to precisely analyze where the implant should be placed.  I can then use those to make a “surgical guide” that allows me to transfer the 3d information so that the implants are exactly where I want them to be within a fraction of a millimeter!
