Guided implant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where dental implants are placed without cuts or stitches, using advanced technology. The surgery uses a pre-fabricated 3D printed guide, reducing discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional methods.
Unlike conventional implants, which involve making cuts, raising a gum flap, and placing stitches; guided implant surgery eliminates the need for cuts and stitches. This reduces discomfort, swelling, and recovery time, allowing patients to resume normal activities sooner.
Patients undergo a CBCT scan and an intraoral digital scan, which captures a 3D image of the teeth. A digital dental bite is recorded, and a 3D-printed guide is created based on this data for precise implant placement.
The key benefits include minimal chair-side time, less discomfort post-surgery, faster recovery (2-3 days), and the ability to walk out the same day with new teeth. Patients also experience minimal bruising and swelling.
Recovery time is significantly shorter than conventional implants, ranging from 2 to 3 days, compared to 5 to 7 days for traditional procedures.
Digital impressions and scans reduce the time needed for trials and adjustments for crowns and bridges, ensuring a snug fit and faster completion of the procedure. This reduces the overall treatment time, especially for patients traveling from overseas.
