i-CAT® gives the power of precision. Loveable Smiles uses this advanced 3D imaging tool for implants and restorations, oral and maxillofacial surgery, TMJ and sinuses, and orthodontics.
The i-CAT is a 3D revolutionary imaging system that enables Dr. Korenman to safely and successfully treat patients with missing or damaged teeth. Precise placement of implants is crucial to obtaining ideal results.
When used by a properly trained dentist, the i-CAT removes the pre-operative guesswork in the positioning and length of an implant. It also provides a more accurate assessment for when surgery is NOT the best solution.
i-CAT Scan imaging indicates the following:
- the location of sensitive anatomy
- whether bone quality is sufficient
- where each implant should go
- how long and wide each implant should be
- at what angle an implant should be inserted
- which system of prosthetic restoration hardware would be most appropriate
Dental implants have raised new hopes in patients who find normal dentures unacceptable or inconvenient. Biting and chewing with successful implants is the same as with normal teeth. Once placed, you can prevent future tooth loss and periodontal disease from recurring… simply by developing healthy hygiene habits.
DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY
Dental implantology is the next best thing to “getting your own teeth back.” It enables permanent restoration of the mouth to near-original condition. Dental implants are titanium roots placed directly into the bone of the jaw to restore missing teeth. The images that are generated from the CT scan enable Dr. Korenman to determine whether or not there is enough bone for long-term function and stability.
