Recent Advances in Dental Implant Technology

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Ali and Dr. Nokkeo are able to place single-stage dental implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them. In addition, if there is still a non-savable tooth present (as opposed to a space where the tooth was removed a while back), often the implants can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction further minimizing the number of surgical procedures.

This 3-D Imaging technology makes dental Implant placement safer and more predictable than ever.

iTERO Digital Scanning Technology

The scanning technology allows Drs. Ali and Nokkeo to simply scan the adjacent teeth and abutment/implant using a laser, thus eliminating the need for dental impression “mold” material (which is messy, tends to cause a gag reflex, and often must be repeated several times).

The prosthetic/restorative doctor who works with Drs. Ali and Nokkeo can now finalize the crowns on the dental implants without the need for an impression visit at his/her office, a visit that usually also involves several other parts and pieces going in and out of the mouth. That entire visit is eliminated thanks to this incredible technology.

Metal-Free Dental Implants

Drs. Ali and Nokkeo are two of the few surgeons in the DC Metro area that have the capability of placing Metal-Free Dental Implants. These tooth colored ceramic implants have some advantages in the aesthetic zone (front upper teeth) as well as in patients who prefer a metal-free option.
