Guided surgery

Imagine that you need to build a house on a plot of land, but you don’t want to do it blindly. Instead, you use a map and a compass to have a precise guide on where to place each brick, each window, and each door. That’s more or less what happens with guided surgery in oral implantology.

Instead of making an incision and placing the implants freehand, we use advanced technology, such as 3D scanners and specialized software. This allows us to plan the surgery with great precision and create a sort of digital “map” of your mouth.

Then, during the surgery, a personalised surgical guide is used, which is like a GPS for the dentist. This guide is placed in your mouth and shows exactly where the implants should go. It’s like following a step-by-step set of instructions.

Now, what are the benefits of this technique? Here they come!

1. Millimetric Precision: Guided surgery allows implants to be placed in the exact planned position. This means errors are avoided, resulting in a perfect fit.
2. Less Discomfort: Thanks to the precision, guided surgery involves less trauma to the surrounding tissues. Less trauma means less pain and a quicker recovery.
3. Reduced Time: With a detailed plan in place before surgery, the process becomes more efficient.
4. Predictable Results: With guided surgery, the results are usually more predictable and aesthetically pleasing. Your smile will look great, and your implants will function perfectly in the long term!

So, in summary, guided surgery in oral implantology is like building a house with a plan and a precise guide. It offers benefits such as precision, comfort, efficiency, and predictable results.
