Computer Guided Surgery
What is Computer Guided Surgery?
Computer-guided surgery involves using the cone beam CT scan on the patient to precisely plan out the implantation, making for a more accurate result when push comes to shove.Computer-guided surgery uses advanced technology to allow our doctors to precisely position dental implants in the ideal location to accept a crown or bridge.
The overall process of computer-aided implantation includes the following steps.
- Creating the 3D Model of Your Jaw: After receiving the CT scan, the computer will create a 3D model of your jaw using highly specialized software.This helps to virtually position the implant or implants in the best locations that are achievable. In order to securely insert the implant into your jaw and empty tooth socket, the surgeon does not need to go blind or make further incisions
- Prepare the Drilling Guide: A specialized laboratory creates a drilling guide for the surgeon to utilize using the 3D model showing the implant's virtual location.The guide helps during surgery in precisely placing the implant into the jaw or even soft tissue with as minimal cuts and invasion of your gums and bone as possible.
- The actual implant procedure: With the drilling guide in hand, implant surgeons may utilize it to accurately put the implant in the ideal location with the least amount of cutting and surgery.
This kind of guidance enables the surgeon to complete implantation the same day. Because dental lasers improve healing and minimize swelling, some dental practices even employ them to make surgery even less intrusive.
Who needs the service?
Computer-guided surgery is particularly useful for patients with complex dental conditions, such as extensive tooth loss, jawbone defects, or misaligned jaws. It allows for precise planning and execution of procedures, leading to better outcomes and reduced risks.
Benefits
- Computer-guided implant placement often allows Doctors to make a smaller, incision which ultimately helps patients recover from surgery much faster, and often with fewer complications.
- Surgery is generally completed more quickly, since the planning and measurements have been done ahead of time.
- Surgery is performed with precision resulting in better alignment of the implants.
- Structures such as nerves and sinuses can be avoided, leading to a reduced risk of complications.
- In many cases, a provisional tooth or bridge can be digitally planned and produced to be installed on the same day the implants are placed.
