In an electrifying presentation at the 6th Global American Academy of Implant Dentistry and 12th World Congress for Oral Implantology, Dr. Minaal Verma, a renowned dentist based in the United States, unveiled photogrammetry as a game-changer for dental implants.

This breakthrough technology, which uses ultra-precise imaging to capture implant positions, promises to redefine the patient experience by making implant-supported restorations fit more accurately and comfortably than ever before.

“Photogrammetry is revolutionizing how we approach dental implants,” Dr. Verma declared. “By capturing the exact position of each implant, we’re able to create custom restorations with perfect fit and alignment, ensuring long-term comfort, stability, and success for patients.”

Precision at the Heart of Implant Success

In her session, Dr. Verma emphasized the impact of photogrammetry on full-mouth restorations, where accuracy is essential for patient satisfaction and implant longevity. This technology allows for a seamless fit on the first attempt, eliminating the need for repeated visits and adjustments.

“The precision that photogrammetry provides is a game-changer for both patients and dentists,” he noted. “It lets us deliver the perfect fit without the trial and error of traditional methods, improving durability and comfort.”

Shifting Beyond Traditional Techniques

Dr. Verma explained that photogrammetry brings an end to the limitations of conventional physical impressions, a process known to be prone to slight errors and repeated trips to the dentist. “With photogrammetry, we can streamline the entire process,” he said. “Patients can expect faster, more comfortable care, and dentists can achieve optimal results on the very first try.”

Innovation Comes at a Cost – For Now

Currently, photogrammetry technology carries a price tag of around $40,000 and is most commonly found in the U.S. and Europe. But Dr. Verma is optimistic that this will change soon. “With advances in intraoral scanning, we’re already seeing the potential for making photogrammetry more affordable,” he remarked. “Soon, dental practices across the globe could adopt this technology.”

Paving the Way for Adoption in India

Dr. Verma believes that India, known for its rapid embrace of cutting-edge healthcare solutions, could soon join the photogrammetry movement. “India’s openness to medical innovation makes it well-positioned to adopt this technology,” he said. “As photogrammetry becomes more accessible, Indian dental practices will have the opportunity to offer these high-precision, comfortable solutions to patients nationwide.”

A Leap Forward for Patient Care

Dr. Verma expressed excitement for what photogrammetry will bring to the field of implant dentistry: “This technology allows us to deliver restorations that feel as natural as the real thing. It’s a leap forward in both patient comfort and implant durability.”

As implant dentistry continues to evolve, photogrammetry stands out as a pioneering force—raising the bar for accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction on a global scale.
