Why is Nexsmile "21st Century" compared to other dental options?
Most dental laboratory methodology really hasn’t changed in the last 100 years. Laboratory technicians still make most dental crowns, bridges and dentures by hand - this is 20th century dentistry. NeXsmile begins by first virtually establishing the ideal position for the upper front teeth relative to the skeletal information in the CT scan data and the smile information from a digital photograph. This is the reason why every NeXsmile smile looks natural. It fits with the face and mouth of that particular individual.
From this ideal virtual plan, NeXsmile specialists then work backwards to determine the optimum position for the rest of the teeth so we can achieve the best chewing ability for the patient. Following this, they study the volume of bone in each jaw and identify where dental implants can be placed in order to best bear the chewing load required.
Once the treatment plan has been thoroughly reviewed and then accepted by the patient and all providers involved, all the necessary devices including the first set of teeth are rapidly and accurately manufactured by computer-driven processes. This means that the patient spends little time in a dental chair in the work-up phase before receiving the in-one-day transition to the new smile. This is the day we call FirstSmile.
When the patient is ready for the final NeXsmile delivery, we use the same computer-based 3D model to electronically direct our own milling machines to make the titanium-framework to which the final teeth are attached. Using the same technology that is now used to design airplanes and modern skyscrapers, we can ensure that the entire NeXsmile process will be simple, accurate and look beautiful.
