Oral Examination
Before moving forward with a dental implant procedure, Dr. Weber will perform a thorough oral exam and assess the condition of your jaw bone. After your oral examination, a recommendation will be made for treatment. If dental implants are right for you, your oral surgeon will discuss your dental implant options to decide what works best for you.
To ensure your dental implant procedure is as successful as possible, Northern Westchester Oral Surgery utilizes a 3D CT scan, which allows us to visualize a patient’s critical anatomical structure and to better understand the patient’s needs. The 3D CT offers us extremely accurate images that are three-dimensional and high definition, making the 3D CT scan a crucial tool. We can locate important nerves in the jaw, evaluate varying cases of facial trauma, and determine the exact location and position of impacted teeth. Depending on the patient’s case, it can also be used to treat several different types of oral or facial tumors.
We are striving to eliminate any potential surprises during your dental implant procedure. This expert imaging allows us to make the most accurate diagnosis, prevent any unnecessary procedures, and prepare for the upcoming procedure. Using the 3D CT, patients benefit from a shorter operating time, which leads to a quicker recovery time and fewer post-surgical complications.
