Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth all on the same day.
If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.
In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted. Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.

PLANMECA ProMax 3D CBVT
The PLANMECA ProMax 3D CBVT X-ray is one of the few 3D systems to offer true 2D panoramics and Cephalometrics, eliminating the need for multiple imaging units.
PLANMECA’s 3D CBVT technology is available factory installed, or as an upgrade to all existing ProMax X-rays.
PLANMECA ProMax 3D CBVT is expressly designed to comply with the needs of modern surgical dentistry. It complies with a multitude of diagnostic requirements: those of endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, implantology, dental and maxillofacial surgeries, and TMJ analysis.
With PLANMECA ProMax 3DCBVT, study volume sizes are selectable to meet diagnostic needs without excess radiation outside the area of interest.
Thanks to its small footprint, PLANMECA ProMax 3D CBVT makes effective three-dimensional imaging possible in every dental office.
The full-color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display and the Graphical User Interface (GUI) guide the operator with text and clear graphic symbols. All exposure settings are logically grouped and easy to understand, which makes the imaging procedure quick and allows the operator to fully focus on patient positioning and communication.
