At our Medikadent Clinic, we use a modern method of implant placement called computer-guided implantology. This procedure is planned with the help of advanced computer technology, which greatly contributes to performing the surgery with maximum precision.
How does computer-guided implantology work?
A CBCT scan is processed with 3D software, where a virtual procedure is simulated to plan the exact position of the implants, abutments, and crowns.
This simulation enables a detailed treatment plan, helping to avoid risky surgical areas. It also ensures the optimal angulation for implant placement depending on the available bone quality and quantity. Finally, crowns are placed on the implants exactly as determined in the initial treatment plan.
3D Printing and Implantology
Since our clinic is equipped with a 3D printer, our dental technicians can immediately create a customized surgical guide based on the virtual treatment plan. With us, you don’t have to wait several days for the guide to be produced – we manufacture it right away in our in-house laboratory.
The surgical guide allows the surgeon to place the implants precisely as planned in the virtual program, while avoiding the need for large incisions and stitches.
What are the advantages of computer-guided implantology?
The advantages of computer-guided implantology are:
- Faster and more precise surgery
- Minimally invasive (reduced use of scalpels)
- Faster recovery
- Fewer stitches, less suturing, bleeding, swelling, and less overall “surgical” feeling
Conclusion
In addition to computer assistance in implant placement, it is important to remember that dental implant treatment provides a permanent replacement for missing teeth. Implants simulate the way natural teeth are anchored to your jaw, in a way that removable dentures never could.
Restore your smile: with the help of this safe and carefully planned computer-guided implant placement procedure, you can regain the smile you have literally and figuratively lost – a true dental innovation of the past decade.
