World Implant Conference 2007 in Las Vegas, NV
on May 20-24, 2007

The Conference was held by Nobel Biocare. There were about 12,000 dentists from all over the world attended the dental conference. It presented the latest an technology being used to treat the patients using implant dentistry. It provides clinicians who are using the latest technologies and techniques to gather together and share their experiences.

The latest techniques which we called guided implant placement is the placement of dental implants using a minimally invasive surgical procedure which eliminates the cutting of the gum tissue and results in minimal post operative discomfort for the patient. Using this technique we can also fabricate teeth prior to the implant placement so the patient in one procedure can have the implants and teeth placed. We are able to do this using new aesthetic materials that exactly mimic natural teeth. This is all accomplished by the merging of CT Scan technology with CAD CAM technology and computer software.

No longer does a patient have to suffer with an ill fitting dental prosthesis or endure an unaesthetic dental appearance. This is an exciting time in dentistry for those of us who are constantly trying to provide out patients with maximum aesthetics and function.
