Computer-Guided Dental Implant Placement

Computer-guided dental implant placement allows oral surgeons to precisely place the new teeth at the patient’s bone. Advanced equipment and high-resolution screens allow surgeons to see with great clarity the available bone, surrounding tissues and the location where they will safely place the implant. The computer-guided procedure ultimately helps the surgeon create the most accurate treatment plan for the patient. At the same time patients experience fewer complications, recover faster, and acquire a fantastic smile.

With this technology, more people can now benefit from the dental implants’ placement treatment compared to traditional methods.

What are the benefits of computer-guided dental implant placement?

• Computer-guided implant placement allows surgeons to make smaller, more accurate, and cleaner incisions, which is extremely beneficial to patients.
• Smaller incisions help patients recover from surgery much faster and often with fewer complications.
• Surgeons can create accurate treatment plans and realize precise implantations using 3D cone beam (CT) scans. This technology further reduces the risk of complications and implant failure, while allowing the process to be completed more quickly.
• Computer-guided implant placement can benefit more patients, even those who once may have not been considered as good candidates. For example, patients with bone tumors or those with a structural dental problem.
• Guided technology accurately depicts the patient’s jaw, soft tissue locations, root anatomy and tissue thickness. Therefore, surgeons are more willing to install implants if they rely on a clear plan of action and know that the chances of an unexpected surgical event are greatly reduced.
