Precision Restorative Care: How 3D Imaging Changes Dental Implants for Medina Patients

Precision Restorative Care: How 3D Imaging Changes Dental Implants for Medina Patients

Missing teeth don’t just affect your smile—they impact how you eat, how you speak, and how confident you feel every day. For many people in Medina, tooth loss can also lead to long-term issues like shifting teeth, jawbone loss, and premature aging of the face.

Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement—but not all implant procedures are created equal.

At Hendricks Family Dentistry, we use 3D-guided dental implant technology to deliver the safest, most precise results possible. For patients in Medina, Wadsworth, and Sharon Center, it’s well worth the short drive to our Brunswick office for expert care that blends technology with experience.

The New Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

Traditional tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges can restore function—but they don’t solve the deeper issue: bone loss. Without a tooth root to stimulate the jawbone, the bone begins to deteriorate over time, leading to a sunken facial appearance and shifting teeth.

Dental implants, by contrast, act like artificial tooth roots. They stimulate the jawbone, preserve facial structure, and provide a stable, long-term solution that feels and functions just like your natural teeth.

But precision is critical—and that’s where 3D-guided implant surgery stands out.

3D CBCT Scanning: Seeing What Others Can’t

Many dental practices still rely on 2D X-rays, which can only show the height and width of the jawbone. But dental anatomy is complex, and two dimensions just aren’t enough.

At Hendricks Family Dentistry, we use advanced 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanning to get a full, high-resolution image of your jawbone, surrounding nerves, sinus cavities, and bone density. This 3D view allows for a much more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Why It Matters for Patients

  • Better safety: We avoid vital structures like nerves and sinuses
  • More predictable outcomes: We place implants in the strongest bone
  • Minimally invasive: Surgery is faster and more precise, with smaller incisions and faster healing

Digitally Guided Surgery: 100% Placement Precision

Using the data from your 3D scan, Dr. Jamison Hendricks creates a virtual model of your mouth and digitally plans the exact position, angle, and depth of your implant.

This plan is then turned into a custom surgical guide—a template that fits over your teeth and ensures that the implant is placed exactly where it was planned.

Benefits of Digitally Guided Implants:

  • Shorter surgery time
  • Reduced post-operative discomfort
  • Optimal long-term stability and success rate

There’s no guesswork—only surgical precision guided by the latest digital technology.
