Computer-guided implantology for
dental implant surgery available locally
   Advanced Medical Imaging (AMI) recently acquired the capability of computer-guided implantology for dental implant surgery. The Silverdale office, located at 1780 NW Myhre Road in the Harlow Medical Building, is accepting referrals for this imaging procedure.

The newly installed system is an interactive 3D implant planning system using Simplant software for predictable treatment planning of dental implants. It allows the implant surgeon to determine the bone density of the jaw and find the ideal position of the implants for both clinical and esthetic considerations. Implant placement is guided by a surgical template fabricated with a 3D printer according to the original treatment plan. This new treatment modality assures precise and predictable implant placement for better treatment outcome.

Advanced Medical Imaging will be hosting a training seminar to further familiarize Kitsap County and Olympic Peninsula periodontists, oral surgeons, prosthedontists and general dentists with this new treatment planning system. It will be held on Mar. 8 at Harrison Silverdale beginning at 5 p.m.
