What Are Guided Implants?
Guided implants are a cutting-edge approach that combines modern technology with expert dental care. Using 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning, we can precisely plan the placement of each implant before any surgery takes place. This advanced technology allows us to create a custom guide that ensures the implants are placed in the optimal position for long-term success and a natural-looking result.
The Benefits of Guided Implants
- Precision and Accuracy
One of the most significant benefits of guided implants is the accuracy it offers. By using 3D scans, we can map out the ideal location for each implant, considering bone structure, soft tissue, and other critical factors. This ensures that the implant is placed exactly where it is needed, reducing the chances of complications and improving the overall success of the procedure. - Minimal Invasiveness
Guided implant surgery is less invasive compared to traditional methods. With the help of the custom guide, the need for large incisions or extensive surgery is reduced, meaning less discomfort and a faster recovery time for our patients. - Faster Recovery
Because the procedure is more precise and minimally invasive, recovery times tend to be quicker with guided implants. Patients often experience less swelling, bleeding, and discomfort following the surgery, getting back to their daily routines in no time. - Customised Treatment Plans
At Beauwood Dental Care, we understand that every patient is unique. Guided implants allow us to tailor the treatment specifically to your needs. We’ll consider factors such as your oral health, bone density, and aesthetic goals to ensure the best possible outcome for you. - Long-Term Success
With the precision provided by guided implant technology, the placement of the implants is
for long-term stability. This means that your implants are more likely to integrate well with the surrounding bone, ensuring they remain secure and functional for many years to come.
What to Expect During the Guided Implant Procedure?
The process of getting guided implants typically involves several stages:
- Consultation and Imaging
During your initial consultation, we will take 3D scans of your mouth to assess your bone structure and determine the best location for your implants. Using this data, we will create a detailed treatment plan and guide for your procedure. - Surgical Placement
On the day of the surgery, the guide is used to position the implants accurately and with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue. This step is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will be comfortable throughout the procedure. - Healing and Follow-Up
After the implants are placed, we will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. Over time, the implants will fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration. Once this is complete, we will place the final restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, to complete your new smile.
Is Guided Implant Surgery Right for You?
Guided implants are suitable for most patients who need to replace one or more missing teeth. However, we will need to assess your individual case to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. Factors such as bone health, overall oral hygiene, and your specific needs will all be considered during your consultation.
If you are looking for a permanent, natural-looking solution to missing teeth, guided implants could be the answer. At Beauwood Dental Care, we’re committed to providing the highest standard of care using the latest technologies to ensure the best results for our patients.
