Implant Dentistry

History of Implant Dentistry

Historically, dental implant dentistry dates back to ancient Mayan civilization almost 1500 years ago. Implant dentistry also known as prosthetic dentistry is the creation or implantation of a new tooth through root replacement. During the treatment planning phase, a CT scan may be utilized to determine the precise location for implants to be placed. Implants historically have been placed using a two stage process. WpD Dental Group is one of only a few dental offices in the area with its own state of the art CT Scanner. First the implant is surgically placed in an optimum position. After a period of time varying from 3 - 9 months for osseointegration, then the implant is exposed and an implant crown is fabricated. Today, in selected cases, implants can be placed and an implant crown can be placed almost immediately.
