Navigated Guided Implant Surgery

In traditional implant surgery, the dentist determines placement during the operation based on X-ray data, while in guided surgery, the entire plan is completed virtually beforehand. 3D tomography data is loaded into specialized software, the implant's position, angle, and depth are planned virtually, and then a custom surgical guide is produced for the patient using a 3D printer.

The biggest advantage of this method is millimeter-level precision; the implant is placed at a predetermined, safest location without risking damage to nerves or neighboring tooth roots. In most cases, there's no need to widely open the gum tissue, resulting in almost zero pain and swelling after the operation.

Thanks to minimal tissue trauma and often no stitches, healing is much faster than with the traditional method — recovery that takes 7-10 days conventionally can drop to just 1-2 days with guided surgery. The final appearance of the teeth and implant position are also known clearly before the operation even begins.

The process starts with a CT scan of the jaw structure and an intraoral digital scan. The virtual placement of the implant is then planned, a custom surgical guide is prepared for the patient, and finally this guide is fitted in the mouth so implants can be placed precisely through its openings.

Here, technology isn't used just for speed but to achieve safe, lasting results. For patients anxious about surgery or with risk factors in their bone structure, guided surgery offers a safe and predictable alternative.
