Guided Implant Surgery
Precision-guided, digitally planned implant placement for safer, more predictable results.
What to know
Guided Implant Surgery, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
Guided implant surgery uses 3D imaging and planning software to map out the position, angle, and depth of each implant before surgery. The plan is then carried into your mouth with a custom surgical guide.
Your dentist combines a 3D scan of your jaw with a digital scan of your teeth to create a virtual model of your mouth. The implant is planned around your bone, nerves, and sinuses, and a custom guide that fits over your teeth or gums directs the instruments to the planned position during surgery.
Careful planning helps the implant avoid nerves and sinuses and sit in the right spot to support the final crown. Guided surgery often allows for smaller incisions, which can mean less swelling and a more comfortable recovery.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Common questions about guided implant surgery.
The implant is placed according to a plan built on 3D imaging, rather than decided entirely during surgery. That's especially helpful when space is tight or when an implant needs to be placed near a nerve or sinus.
Most of the extra work happens during planning, before you're in the chair. The surgery itself is often more efficient because key decisions about position and depth have already been made.
It's helpful for many implant cases and especially valuable for multiple implants or challenging anatomy. Your dentist will explain how your implant will be planned and placed at your consultation.
