Why Use a Surgical Guide for Dental Implants?

Safety and consistency are bedrock principles of surgery, never more so than when operating on a patient’s teeth. Scan Implant Guide offers the best surgical guides for implant surgery because of our commitment to these precepts, and because we understand precisely how each guide will be used in each circumstance.

Dental surgeons are taking notice. One recent account of surgical guide dental implant procedures expressed why these guides are so valuable in the operating room:

The number one reason that I place implants via guided surgery is safety. The surgical guide may rest on the teeth, gingiva, or bone. . . .All guesswork is eliminated with the Surgical Guide.

With precision comes speed. Because surgical guides remove the uncertainty and second-guessing from the process, it is far easier for the oral surgeon to get the job done quickly, secure in the integrity of the guide:

With guided surgery, all the planning and “back and forth” with drilling, angulation, and depth is all figured out before the patient appears for surgery. Most guided implant surgeries are completed in less than 20 minutes in my office for single teeth, with enough attached tissue for a punch. A full arch of implants may take me less than an hour. If one follows some pretty easy-to-master protocols, this is the norm from a lot of reputable doctors I talk to.
