We Do Computer Guided Implant Placement
Dr. Alvarez believes that implant placement should not only be done by someone experienced, but also by using the best technology possible. In our Midtown Manhattan, New York City dental office, dental implants are typically placed using a computer guided proces. Both a 3D Dental CT Scan (CBCT) and an intra-oral digital scan of your teeth and tissues using the iTero scanner are done right in our office. The data is then melded together to create an exact treatment plan of where your dental implants will be placed to give the best possible results. A surgical guide is then 3D printed, which will be used during surgery to place the dental implants exactly where they were planned. Computer guided digital implant placement helps to eliminate almost all the variability in dental implant placement, and will also allow for a faster surgery and with less surgical healing time.
What are Dental Implants and what are the benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants done by Dr. Edward Alvarez in our New York City office are an excellent choice for tooth replacement and to help create new smiles.
A dental implant is a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Made of medical-grade titanium, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over time, it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental implants can look and feel just like natural teeth, offering seamless function and aesthetics. With a success rate of up to 98%, they are considered the gold standard in modern tooth replacement.
When a tooth is lost, it doesn't just affect your appearance or confidence—it sets off a domino effect in your mouth. Nearby teeth begin to shift to fill the space, often leading to tilted, crooked, or misaligned teeth that can erupt out of place. This movement can impact your bite, speech, and overall oral health.
Implants also play a crucial role in preserving jawbone density. Without a tooth or implant in place, the body begins to resorb the bone in that area, leading to bone loss and facial collapse over time. Dental implants stimulate the bone and prevent deterioration, helping maintain your natural facial structure and long-term oral health.
Whether you're missing a single tooth or require a full-arch restoration, Dr. Edward Alvarez in NYC offers expert, personalized implant solutions designed for long-term comfort, health, and beauty.
