Before we even begin the dental implant procedure, our team uses 3D camera technology to take a full scan of the inside of your mouth. Our implant dentists can then pull this scan up on a screen to view a 3D model of your teeth and jaw.
We can manipulate the image as needed in order to determine the best placement for your future implants. After this, we’re able to create a guide that will help us place your exactly where we planned. The guide helps our dental implant procedure go much more smoothly.
Benefits of Guided Implant Placement
While traditional methods of placing dental implants have been effective for years, guided implant placement allows dentists a new way to envision this important procedure. With guided implant placement, our implant dentists can see the patient’s entire mouth beforehand in order to create a customized treatment plan.
One of the dangers of traditional placement is the risk that the dentist will run into a nerve, blood vessel, or sinus during surgery. With guided implant placement, we can see any potential obstacles on the screen before we even begin the procedure. This allows us to avoid any complications during surgery, and in turn, our patients can enjoy a problem-free recovery.
