Treatments
Planning and guided surgery
Digital planning helps study implant positions before surgery. A surgical guide may be made to transfer the plan to the mouth.
When is it considered?
An implant plan for which the clinician considers a surgical guide appropriate.
The assessment
Examination of teeth and gums, medical history and appropriate imaging help assess available bone and the planned replacement.
Treatment stages
Imaging and impressions are combined to prepare treatment. Whether a guide is appropriate depends on the situation and remains under the control of the clinician.
Points to discuss
A guide depends on the quality of the data and correct seating. It remains an assisting tool controlled by the clinician.
Care and follow-up
Appropriate daily cleaning around implants and follow-up appointments are part of treatment. The clinician explains how to care for the restoration.
