Guided implant surgery starts with a 3D CT scan of the jaw and a digital scan of the mouth. In dedicated software every implant is planned — position, angle, depth and diameter — relative to the bone, the nerves, the sinus and the future tooth. From the plan a clear surgical guide is printed, which sits in the mouth during placement and steers the drill and the implant exactly to the planned spot.
The advantages
✓
Precision
Deviation from the plan of under a millimetre. Especially important near the nerve in the lower jaw and in the aesthetic front zone.
✓
Minimally invasive
In most cases the gum need not be opened; placement is through a small opening. Fewer stitches, less swelling.
✓
Fast
The decisions were made in planning. The procedure itself is short, and recovery is more comfortable.
✓
Planned from the end
The implant is where the crown needs it — not where it was convenient to drill. That determines the aesthetics.
✓
Enables immediate loading
A provisional bridge can be prepared in advance from the same plan and fitted the same day.
✓
Transparency
You see the plan on screen before anything happens in your mouth.
Who it suits
Anyone who needs an implant — single, several or a full jaw. Especially when maximum precision is required: proximity to the nerve, narrow bone, the smile zone, or when immediate loading is planned.
The process
CT + scan
Two data sources merge into one model: bone and soft tissue.
Planning
Implant and crown are planned together in software. You see it.
Printing the guide
A personal guide with a sleeve for every implant.
Placement
The guide is seated, drilling and implant pass through it. Local anaesthesia.
Restoration
Provisional crown as needed; permanent after healing.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an implant last?
A well-integrated, well-maintained implant — decades, sometimes a lifetime. The crown on it may be replaced after 10–20 years. The causes of failure are known: smoking, poor hygiene, untreated gum disease.
What is a surgical guide?
A clear device printed from the digital plan and seated in the mouth during placement. It has sleeves that steer the drill and the implant to the planned position, angle and depth. The result: precision, a small incision, fast recovery.
Can an implant be placed right after an extraction?
In suitable cases — yes, at the same visit. The conditions: a socket without active infection and enough bone to anchor the implant. It saves a surgery and preserves bone and gum.
Which implants do you use?
Titanium implants from established manufacturers with long-term clinical documentation and parts available for years to come. The specific system is chosen per case and recorded on the implant passport you receive.
Do I need an MRI or a special CT?
A dental CT (CBCT) — low radiation, done at the clinic in minutes. If you have a recent CT of the jaws, bring it; a new one may not be needed.
Want to know if immediate loading is right for you?
A first consultation at any clinic in the network includes an exam, a scan and an explanation of your options — no obligation.
