Advanced Assessment and Treatment Planning

Dr. Saltman is highly skilled in diagnosing and assessing the condition of upper and lower jawbone and remaining natural teeth using 3-dimensional X-rays and digital scans of your mouth. He utilizes Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) to plan and perfect every aspect of your implant surgery and treating conditions of the face, before the scheduled surgical appointment. This technology allows him to simulate and refine surgical steps in advance, improving precision and outcomes. This expertise is crucial for thorough assessment and treatment planning for dental implants.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Saltman accurately evaluates a patient’s oral health, bone density, and anatomical structures to determine the suitability for dental implants.

Advanced Imaging Interpretation: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to interpret advanced imaging technologies such as CT scans and 3D imaging, which are essential for precise implant placement.

Management of Complex Cases

Dental implant procedures can sometimes involve complications or require additional surgical procedures. Because of his sub-specialty training in implant dentistry, Dr. Saltman is well-equipped to manage these complex situations.
