Guided Implant Placement
More Precise Dental Implant Placement
Plan Your Implant Treatment With Precision
Precision From Planning to Placement
Enhanced Precision
Detailed 3D imaging and digital planning allow your implant placement to be carefully planned before surgery.
Better Treatment Planning
Digital technology helps us visualize your anatomy and plan implant position with your final restoration in mind.
Predictable Surgical Care
A guided approach can help our team follow the planned implant position during surgery for a more controlled treatment process.
How Guided Implant Placement Works
01
Consultation & Evaluation
We evaluate your oral health, jawbone, and treatment goals to determine if dental implants are appropriate for you.
02
3D Imaging
A detailed 3D scan allows us to visualize your jawbone, teeth, and surrounding anatomy.
03
Digital Treatment Planning
Your imaging is combined with specialized planning software to determine the ideal position, angle, and depth for your implant.
04
Guided Implant Placement
A custom surgical guide helps our oral surgeon translate the digital plan into the procedure and place the implant according to the treatment plan.
Could Guided Implant Placement Be Right for You?
Many patients who are candidates for traditional dental implant treatment may also benefit from guided implant placement. Your oral health, bone structure, treatment goals, and overall health will all be considered when determining the most appropriate approach.
Guided implant placement may be considered if you:
- Need one or more dental implants
- Want highly detailed treatment planning
- Have a complex implant case
- Want your implant placement planned using 3D imaging
- Are looking for a technology-assisted approach to implant surgery

Frequently Asked Questions About
Guided Implant Placement
What is guided implant placement?
Guided implant placement uses 3D imaging and specialized digital planning software to plan the exact position of a dental implant before surgery. A surgical guide can then be used during the procedure to help place the implant according to that plan.
How is guided implant placement different from traditional implant placement?
Traditional implant placement may rely more heavily on the surgeon's assessment during the procedure. Guided placement uses digital planning and a surgical guide to provide an additional level of planning and positional control.
What are the benefits of guided implant placement?
Guided implant placement can provide more detailed treatment planning, help account for important anatomical structures, and allow the implant position to be planned with the final restoration in mind.
Am I a candidate for guided implant placement?
Many patients who qualify for dental implants can be candidates for guided placement. Your oral surgeon will evaluate your anatomy and treatment needs to determine whether guided implant surgery is appropriate.
Does guided implant placement hurt?
Anesthesia and sedation options are available to help keep you comfortable during implant surgery. Some swelling or discomfort may occur during the recovery period.
Is guided implant placement more expensive?
Because guided treatment involves additional digital planning and surgical-guide technology, the cost may differ from traditional implant placement. Your treatment plan and associated costs will be discussed during your consultation.
