Lets You Preview Results

In addition to allowing your implant dentist to thoroughly plan your implant procedure, the computerized software also allows you to preview your predicted results. It also allows your dentist to show you various treatment options with different predicted outcomes so that you are involved in the development of your treatment plan and can make educated decisions. 

Less Invasive

Even though implant guided surgery is still considered a surgical procedure, it is less invasive than the traditional dental implant surgical approach. This is because implant guided surgery is more exact, which results in a precise treatment area, less anesthesia, and a reduced need for extensive bone grafting. Additionally, since a flapless surgical technique is used, the need for gum sutures is eliminated. 

Allows for Same Day Teeth

Guided dental implant surgery also allows you to have your prosthetic teeth placed at the same time as your dental implants, meaning that you can leave your dentist’s office with new teeth. This is possible because the computerized software used to plan your treatment can also be used to predict the final positioning of your implants, as well as the specifications needed to fabricate your dental prosthetic. 

Faster Recovery

Another benefit of guided implant surgery is that the surgical precision leads to a faster, less painful recovery. For starters, this is because the amount of damage done to the surrounding structures is significantly reduced by using a minimally invasive flapless technique. Additionally, accurate treatment planning reduces the need for last-minute adjustments performed during surgery. Finally, the flapless approach to dental implants does not require sutures, which can minimize the amounts of prostaglandin and histamine produced by the body. Both of these substances are associated with postoperative swelling and pain, so reducing their production helps to also ease postoperative pain.
