Choose Implant Surgical Guides for Your Practice

They eliminate the need to open the patient’s gums to assess bone width and distance to important dental structures such as nerves or sinuses.

Using digital mapping designed by the dentist, paired with a 3D x-ray called a CBCT, they provide better precision with regards to the ideal location to place a crown on top of an implant.

This method makes surgery faster and easier. It also helps detect issues easier.

Since this method improves the precision of the process, it eventually becomes easier for patients to keep their teeth clean, and it also prevents the occurrence of food getting stuck in teeth.

First, a digital impression of the top and bottom teeth or dentures is created.

Using a CBCT x-ray, a 3D image of the teeth is created to locate where to place the implants.

The 3D x-ray can then be combined with the 3D impression of the teeth using special software.

Then, the dentist can digitally choose the most ideal length and width of the implant.

The dentist can then set the implant in the depth and angulation best suited for the crown that will later be placed onto the implant, following a healing period.
