The short answer
Guided implant surgery uses dynamic 3D navigation for dental implant placement. Your implants are first planned on cone beam 3D images of your jaw. Then, during surgery, the navigation gives a live video overlay of your jaw, bone and teeth, and the drilling tools in relation to them.
It shows the exact angle, depth and placement in real time, so each implant can be placed with high accuracy.
Step by step
A 3D view of your jawbone, nerves and sinuses.
Each implant's position, angle and depth is planned on the scan.
A live video overlay tracks the drilling tools against your jaw, bone and teeth as each implant goes in.
After healing, your crown, bridge or full arch goes on.
Guided vs freehand
Implants have long been planned on cone beam 3D images and then placed by hand to that plan. That almost always works well. But as with any surgery, the actual placement can vary a little from the plan. Navigation gives real-time feedback during surgery, for even better accuracy.
Benefits
