what are Guided dental implants ?
Guided dental implants aren’t actually the implants themselves, but rather the technique used to place them. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced planning for increased accuracy.expand_more
Think of it like this: traditional implant surgery relies on the dentist’s skill for implant placement, while guided surgery adds a high-tech layer.expand_more Here’s the breakdown:
3D Scans and Planning: Your dentist takes a 3D scan of your jawbone and teeth.expand_more
With special software, they virtually plan the exact location, depth, and angle for each implant.expand_more
Surgical Guide: Based on the plan, a custom surgical guide is created.expand_more
This guide acts like a template during surgery, ensuring the implants are placed with precise control.expand_more
Essentially, guided surgery offers several benefits:
Higher Accuracy: Less room for error compared to traditional methods.expand_more
Minimally Invasive: Precise planning often allows for flapless surgery, leading to faster healing.
Faster Recovery: Smaller incisions and minimized drilling generally mean a quicker and easier recovery process.
If you’re considering dental implants, talk to your dentist about whether guided surgery might be right for you.
