Guided Surgery: The GPS for Your Smile

Imagine trying to navigate a new city without GPS. That's what complex implant surgery is like without a surgical guide. Guided surgery is the modern standard for molar implants.

How it Works

We combine your 3D X-ray (CBCT) with your 3D oral scan. Software is then used to plan the perfect position for your implant. This plan is sent to a 3D printer which creates a custom template that fits onto your teeth and locks our drills into the exact position, angle, and depth.

Major Benefits

• Safety: Avoids vital structures like nerves and sinuses with absolute certainty.
• Aesthetics: Ensures the implant is positioned perfectly for the crown to look like a natural tooth.
• Speed: Reduces time in the surgery chair.
• Smaller Incisions: Often allows for "flapless" surgery, meaning less swelling and faster healing.
