Our Irvine office uses advanced 3D technology to plan precise implant placement for All-on-4 procedures. These detailed scans allow us to visualize your bone structure and create a customized treatment plan that maximizes existing bone, even for seniors with significant bone loss.
State-of-the-Art Imaging Technology
At our Irvine 92618 practice, we utilize the latest digital imaging technologies to ensure optimal outcomes for our All-on-4 patients:
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Creates detailed 3D images of your jaw, bone structure, nerves, and sinuses with minimal radiation exposure
- Digital Panoramic X-rays: Provides a comprehensive view of your entire mouth, jaw joints, and sinuses in a single image
- Digital Intraoral Scanning: Creates precise digital impressions without uncomfortable traditional molds
- Digital Smile Design: Allows you to preview potential aesthetic outcomes before treatment begins
These technologies work together to create a complete digital profile of your oral structures, enabling precise planning for your All-on-4 procedure.
Benefits for Senior Patients
Our advanced imaging approach offers particular advantages for our senior patients in Irvine:
- Minimally Invasive Planning: Detailed 3D imaging allows us to plan surgery with minimal disruption to tissues
- Optimized Implant Placement: Identifies the areas with strongest bone density for secure implant anchoring
- Reduced Procedure Time: Precise pre-planning shortens time in the dental chair—important for senior comfort
- Predictable Outcomes: Visualize results before treatment begins for greater peace of mind
- Fewer Complications: Detailed imaging helps avoid anatomical structures like nerves and sinuses
For seniors who may have been told they lack adequate bone for implants, our advanced imaging often reveals viable placement options that weren't apparent with traditional X-rays.
The 3D Scanning Process
When you visit our Irvine office for All-on-4 planning, here's what to expect during your imaging appointment:
- Comfortable Positioning: You'll be comfortably seated while our imaging device rotates around your head. The process takes just 14-20 seconds.
- Immediate Results: Unlike traditional imaging that requires development time, digital scans are instantly available for review.
- Collaborative Planning: Your doctor will review the 3D images with you, explaining your bone structure and implant placement options.
- Virtual Treatment Planning: Using specialized software, we'll create a virtual surgical guide for precise implant placement.
- Digital Impressions: If needed, we'll take digital impressions of your mouth without uncomfortable traditional putty materials.
The entire imaging process is comfortable, non-invasive, and typically completed in a single visit to our Irvine 92618 office.
