Dental implants are a prosthodontic treatment option that can restore your full smile, bite function, and quality of life. Your oral surgeon will look at your medical and dental history before recommending one of our placement options for you.
The selection is an important one, as it can provide the best possible experience with care. With that said, all of our recommended solutions, however, have proven to be safe and effective methods for restoring incomplete smiles.
Free-Hand Dental Implant Surgery
Free-hand is the most common surgical technique for dental implant surgery. In free hand surgery, the surgeon uses a hand-held instrument to place your implant. The surgeon places the implant after closely examining your bone, gums, and nearby teeth as well as evaluating you with a panoramic x-ray, or, more likely, a CT.
Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons have placed countless dental implants via this approach, and this technique is confirmed to be a safe and predictable one for many patients.
Dental Implant Surgery With A Surgical Guide
Surgical guides fit to your teeth with guide holes for the implant. Guides allow the surgeon to make changes to plan during surgery if necessary. Guided surgery works by having the surgeon plan your procedure through multiple different implant planning softwares. The procedure is planned according to the CT scans that are taken; However, once the procedure is underway, your surgeon has the freedom to make adjustments, should they be indicated.
Not all implant patients need guided surgery, but it is an excellent tool that our surgeons are highly skilled to utilize in specific situations.
