Computer-Guided Implant Surgery
The latest tech for a more natural smile.
Ensure Your Dental Implant Surgery is a Success
Computer-guided implant surgery is today’s finely-tuned approach to dental implants.
Yesterday’s implant surgery relied on analog dental impressions and a one-size-fits-all dental map. But dental tech advancements make your implant surgery faster, less painful, and more successful. Enjoy the significant benefits that come with choosing an updated dental surgery experience.
Precise Digital Scanning
Using a cone beam CT (CBCT) scan, we create a detailed digital replica of your mouth. This allows us to assess the density and dimensions of your jawbone and surrounding tissues—giving us a clear picture of what to expect before surgery.
These scans reveal important details such as soft tissue thickness, nerve pathways, sinus locations, and the exact positioning of adjacent tooth roots. With this information, we can plan your treatment with greater precision, safety, and confidence.
Customized Surgical Guide
With an incredibly-detailed map of your mouth in place, we’ll use a 3D printer to create a customized surgical guide. Your guide will fit precisely on your teeth, directing the exact angulations and heights for the drilling process.
Better Implant Results
Computer-guided surgery allows us to place your implants with precision. It fine-tunes surgery planning, so you’re less likely to need followup surgery or additional procedures. This technique can also reduce your post-op pain and discomfort by making the surgery faster and more efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Computer-guided Implant Surgery
For the patient, there are no drawbacks. Computer-guided implant surgery is the gold standard for implants, and it’s hugely advantageous for surgery success and recovery times.
Some practices may feel overwhelmed by the software investment and learning curve associated with this surgical method, but we’ve already made the investment and mastered the technique.
We recommend this practice for almost every implant surgery patient. It’s especially helpful when patients require multiple implants or for patients who have problems with the anatomical structure of their mouth, the volume of their bone, or require significant alteration of bony anatomy.
While computer-guided surgery is revolutionary and can make a major impact on outcomes for some patients, it’s not always necessary. In straightforward cases, dentists placing the implants freehand can be just as successful.
Patients often find it fascinating to see their virtual treatment plans in advance. Computer-guided surgery plans can make it easier for the dentist to explain possible treatment options and potential risks, all while showing patients the predicted outcome.
