Dental Implants are artificial roots that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by our Dallas implant dentist. The teeth
attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient's smile. These implants are a great way to
replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. They provide excellent support and
stability for these dental appliances. We look forward to your next visit with Dr. Brewster, your Dallas implant dentist.
Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and will last many years, but on occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due
to normal wear.
Modern Technology allows the CONE BEAM 3D technology and CEREC crown software to be used together and do a more complete visualizing
and planning for nerve trunks and sinus cavity shape and size for the most ideal placement that was not available before.
This type of technology allows Dr. Brewster to place the implant in the most ideal site to allow for the crown, bridge or fixed retention
denture to be placed with variables that were not able to be visualized in the 3D planning before.
The CEREC CAD-CAM plans for the most ideal crown to be planned and then the implant to be placed with GALILEOS CONE BEAM SCAN
computer guidance.

What does getting dental implants involve?
The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.
Cone beam or 3D X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant.
The planning is done on a computer (Galileos) and the implant is guided and is exacting in placement with the software seeing anatomical landmarks
and the placement is done with computer designed guides are used for placement. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into
the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be
required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and
placed at the same time.
After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be
required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant,
providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the
life of your new implant.
