How does it work? | State of the Art Technologies

Using the very latest digital technology the DIO implant system takes the guesswork out of placing dental implants. Ground-breaking computer-simulation enables the dentist to pre-determine the ideal and safest surgical pathway for each dental implant, thus avoiding the possibility of nerve injury or any other damage. As much of the time-consuming precision work is carried out during the planning stages, the patient will spend less time in surgery knowing that their implant placement is both safe and accurate.

But that’s not all, DIO implant placement involves flapless surgery. This means that rather than making an incision into the gum, exposing the bone, screwing the implant down into it, and suturing up the flap, the DIOnavi system uses advanced keyhole techniques. The implant is placed through a small hole which has been pre-determined using state-of-the-art surgical guides taken from data supplied by initial digital impressions.

Results of the new DIO Digital Dental Surgery Approach

o Far speedier surgery times (usually just 10-20 minutes for 1-2 implants)
o No incisions, meaning less risk of any post-op infections, culminating in minimal pain
o Swelling or bleeding are rare
o Greater accuracy than free hand surgery thus less risk of any damage leading to complications further down the line

By creating an all-round better experience for the patient including faster recovery times, digitalised flapless surgery creates a favourable scenario for those people who may otherwise be reluctant to undergo any type of dental implant procedure.

Other Benefits of Dental Implants

Implants retain full mouth structure

Any prosthodontist in Sydney will tell you that implants help to retain full mouth structure. In addition to plugging the gap, they also support the remaining teeth which would otherwise drift if the gap were to remain.

They're self-supporting

Dental implants are designed to be anchored directly into the jawbone. As such they don’t rely on support from neighbouring teeth, so no healthy teeth are compromised.

They halt the bone loss process

When a tooth is lost the surrounding bone tissue which initially supported the tooth diminishes. Over time it can undermine other healthy teeth as the process continues. Because implants are anchored directly into the bone, the remaining bone tissue merges with the titanium implant acting like a tooth root while maintaining a super-strong structure and halting the bone loss process. As you can see, dental implants solve a whole host of biological dental issues and that’s before we even get onto the other benefits.

Flexibility and Cost-effectiveness

While dental implants are commonly used for replacing missing teeth on a like-for like basis, did you know that they can also be used to support a bridge, a partial denture, or an entire arch of dentures? Yes, really! Implants are the perfect vehicle for over-dentures which simply snap into position preventing movement; and they can also act as support for one or more restorations in the form of a dental bridge. Of course, fitting them does require a surgical procedure and several visits, but once they’ve been placed, they’re virtually hasslefree. There’s no worrying about adhesives to keep them in position and no need to soak them overnight. Instead simply clean your implants alongside your natural teeth to keep them in top condition. What’s more, provided your implants are cared for properly, they can last for many years to come, so they really are a long-term, cost-effective solution.

Eradication of common concerns with bridges and dentures

Tooth loss is a very common problem and up until a few decades ago, the only real solution was to either ignore it, fit a dental bridge or fit a removable partial denture.

None of these situations are ideal and bring with them their own set of problems. For instance if you choose to ignore a missing tooth, then it can impact on other adjacent teeth and as a result you might be visiting a dentist in Chatswood more frequently than you think. Alternatively, if you opt for a dental bridge the supporting structure may compromise otherwise healthy teeth. Should you instead decide on a removable partial denture unfortunately that won’t halt the bone loss that naturally occurs when teeth are missing. Thankfully, when you visit our Chatswood Implant and Dental Centre and opt for implant-based restorations, all of these problems are eradicated.
