The Guided Placement Procedure
The process initiates with in-depth 3D imaging, capturing crucial details regarding your jawbone structure and adjacent tissues. Our dentist and team employ this information to formulate a digital treatment strategy, identifying the ideal size, angle, and depth of the implant. A bespoke surgical guide is then created based on this digital blueprint, steering the implant placement during surgery. This thorough preparation guarantees that each implant is optimally positioned for maximum stability and natural functionality in your smile restoration.
