Dental Implant Technology

Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Payson, Arizona

Recent advances in dental implant technology have dramatically improved the effectiveness, convenience, and affordability of the treatment. As a result, dental implants have become the preferred option for replacing missing teeth.

Improvements in coating technology have enabled dental implants to more effectively fuse with the jawbone, providing increased stability and durability. Advances in shape and thread designs have made it easier for our Phoenix implant dentists to insert the implant into your jaw, resulting in greater stability and a more comfortable procedure. In recent years, modern component designs have given us greater flexibility in implant placement so that we are now able to make more efficient use of existing bone structure.

3D Cone Beam CAT Scan Technology

At Winterholler Dentistry, we use 3D Cone Beam CAT scan technology with all of our dental implant procedures. This is an important tool which enables Phoenix implant dentist Dr. Chris Winterholler to provide you with the highest quality results for your treatment.

The use of 3D Cone Beam CAT scan technology provides Dr. Winterholler with much more detailed images than a traditional 2-dimensional x-ray. Dr. Winterholler uses this technology to obtain important data related to your bone density. From this data, a computer-model treatment plan is designed in order to ensure the highest levels of precision once the dental implant procedure is performed, helping Dr. Winterholler avoid nerves and sinuses during the placement of the implant.

Furthermore, 3D Cone Beam CAT scan technology dramatically reduces your radiation exposure compared with traditional x-rays, improving the safety of your procedure.

Teeth-in-an-Hour

Traditional dental implant procedures take anywhere from three to six months to complete because several months are needed for the implant to fuse with your jawbone. This process is called osseointegration. As a result, you would have to wait months from the time your implant is inserted before you could experience the full benefits of the procedure.

Fortunately, advances in dental implant technology enable the process to be completed much more quickly. Dr. Winterholler is highly trained and experienced in Teeth-in-an-Hour, a dental implant innovation created by Nobel Biocare. Teeth-in-an-Hour eliminates the long wait associated with osseointegration, enabling us to complete your procedure in hours instead of months.

We also employ Nobel Guide and Easy Guide Implant planning software so that your entire procedure can be planned on a computer before we install the implant. This provides us with unparalleled precision, enabling us to provide you with the finest quality results in a fraction of the time typically associated with a dental implant procedure.
