What is Guided Implant Surgery?
Traditional dental implant placement relies on experience and visual estimation. Guided surgery takes this a step further by incorporating computer-generated surgical guides and real-time navigation to map out the ideal position, depth, and angle of each implant before the procedure begins.
This advanced approach enhances accuracy, safety, and efficiency, making the implant process smoother and more predictable.
Benefits of Guided Surgery for Dental Implants
- Enhanced Precision – Digital planning ensures accurate implant placement.
- Minimally Invasive – Smaller incisions result in less pain, swelling, and faster healing.
- Faster Treatment & Recovery – Reduced surgical time means quicker healing and fewer complications.
- Increased Implant Success Rate – Optimal placement improves long-term stability.
- Same-Day Implants – Some patients may qualify for immediate implant placement with guided technology.
How Does Guided Implant Surgery Work?
- Digital 3D Scanning – We take a CBCT scan (Cone Beam CT scan) of your mouth to create a detailed 3D model of your jawbone, teeth, and nerves.
- Virtual Treatment Planning – Using computer software, we plan the exact placement of your implants for the best functional and aesthetic outcome.
- Surgical Guide Creation – A customized surgical guide is created to ensure precise positioning during surgery.
- Implant Placement – Your dentist follows the guide to place the implants with extreme accuracy, reducing risks and improving efficiency.
- Healing & Restoration – After a healing period, your custom dental crown or prosthetic is placed for a fully restored smile.
