Computer Guided Surgery

At Beech Lane Dental Care, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest standards of dental care, particularly in the field of dental implants. Our advanced techniques ensure precision, safety, and outstanding results. One of the cornerstones of our approach is computer-guided surgery, which revolutionises how we plan and execute dental implant procedures.

What is Computer-Guided Surgery for Dental Implants and How It Works

Computer-guided surgery is an innovative technique that uses advanced technology to enhance the accuracy and predictability of dental implant placement. This method involves several key steps:

• Cone Beam CT Scanning: We start with a Cone Beam CT scan, which produces detailed 3D images of your jawbone. This scan allows us to assess the bone’s structure and identify crucial anatomical features like nerves and sinuses.
• Digital Impressions: Next, we use a digital impression system to capture precise details of your oral cavity. This data is integrated with the CT scan results to create a comprehensive digital model of your mouth.
• Customised Planning: The combined data is sent to our specialist laboratory, where mock-ups of your final restoration are created. This model is used in planning software to determine the optimal positioning for your implants.
• 3D Printed Drilling Guides: Finally, a 3D printer produces a customised drilling guide based on the digital planning. This guide ensures that the implants are placed accurately during surgery, enhancing precision and reducing potential risks.

Commitment to Technology and Excellence

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does computer-guided surgery improve dental implant procedures?

Computer-guided surgery enhances the precision and safety of dental implant procedures. By using detailed 3D imaging and digital planning, we can accurately assess your bone structure and plan the exact placement of the implants. This reduces the risk of complications and ensures that the implants are positioned for optimal function and appearance.

2.What are the benefits of using Cone Beam CT scanning in implant planning?

Cone Beam CT scanning provides detailed 3D images of the jawbone, allowing us to evaluate the bone’s quality and quantity accurately. This imaging helps us identify vital structures such as nerves and sinuses, which is crucial for precise implant placement and reducing potential risks during surgery.

3.How does the use of 3D printed drilling guides enhance the procedure?

3D printed drilling guides ensure that implants are placed with high accuracy, as they are customised based on the digital planning. This guide helps to align the implants precisely according to the plan, which can improve the overall outcome, enhance safety, and potentially speed up the healing process.
