At your free implant consultation, Dr. Byars will review your medical and dental history, thoroughly assess your oral health, ask about your smile goals, and discuss the steps involved in getting All-on-X. We perform diagnostic imaging with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to analyze your bone structure, nerve tissue and sinus cavities. This 3D technology helps Dr. Byars determine areas in your jawbone where bone is dense and plentiful enough to enable placing implants at specific angles without the need for bone grafting. Even if the scans reveal you need bone grafting, Dr. Byars is skilled in providing this preliminary treatment to help you become an ideal candidate for full arch dental implants in Riverview, FL.

Every step of dental implant surgery involves precision digital technology. The CBCT scan taken during your initial visit helps Dr. Byars plan the desired restoration and implant placement and provides our skilled in-house lab technician with in-depth details to create a guide. Dr. Byars uses prepositioned holes in the guide to ensure each implant is placed at the exact angle, depth and location for ideal aesthetics and long-lasting functional outcomes.

At your follow-up visit, Dr. Byars will check your progress to ensure everything is healing as it should, and your gums are healthy around the implant sites. Although everyone is unique in terms of healing, it takes three to six months for implant sites to properly heal. During this time, the dental implants integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

When you return to our practice, you’ll receive new teeth fabricated from zirconia at our state-of-the-art dental lab. Zirconia offers superior strength and aesthetics, resists stains and fractures, is wear-resistant and looks and feels like your natural teeth. And unlike dentures, full arch dental implants in Riverview, FL only require proper at-home oral care and scheduled professional maintenance visits at Smile 360 Implant and Family Dentistry.
