i-CAT and SimPlant®: Revolutionary Implant Dentistry

Until recently, implant surgeons have depended on the traditional dental X-ray, which offers only a two-dimensional, distorted view of jaw bones. This made the surgery and restoration process a guessing game, and sometimes unsafe. At New Image, we are proud to be at the forefront of the revolution taking dentistry in general - and implant dentistry in particular - by storm.

i-CAT is the revolutionary three-dimensional scan of the teeth, bones, and face. It is an undistorted view of the surgical area that can be reviewed from any angle or cross section. It eliminates guessing and prevents the unnecessary risks that are inherent in surgeries that do not use this vital tool. i-CAT takes the diagnosis in the dental office to a new, exciting level. i-CAT also uses less radiation than a full mouth X-ray series.

Using i-CAT, we can obtain accurate information and load it in SimPlant®, a sophisticated software program that can actually plan the surgery and final restoration. All of the surgery and final restoration is virtually diagnosed and planned ahead of time. It is then shared with the patient. i-CAT and SimPlant® make dental implant procedures safe and accurate.
