3D Guided Implant Surgery is an extremely effective procedure in dental implants treatment, which utilizes modern technology in combination with accuracy. Thanks to such option as high tech 3D imaging, the dentist is able to visualize each and every stages of implantation, including the angle, depth and position.
The main and perhaps the biggest strength of 3D Guided Implant Surgery is that it is patient-specific. Since a patient is simulated through a virtual model of the jaw, the dentists can easily make a surgical guide that is unique and make procedures easier to execute. Apart from improving stability and durability of the implants, treatment time is shorter and complications are rare, thus providing the patients with an easy and fast way to reconstruct their smile.
The planning process during 3D guided surgery is fast, normally lasting not more than three days. Subsequent to the scan, the data seems to be pre-processed, and we proceed via a generation of a virtual model of the jaw. With this model, the dental team comes up with a precise surgical guide by the time of the actual surgery.
Despite the benefits provided by the advanced 3D Guided Implant Surgery there is no doubt that such information is not always necessary. It is possible that simple implant placements in situations with abundant bone support do not need such guidance. Nonetheless, for complex cases of extraction and site with limited bone or tough topographic consideration this technology could be of immense help to the patients and possibly more safer and perhaps predictably better.

Yes, it is one of the safest dental implant procedures you can imagine. The kind of planning mentioned above increases the chances of success and reduces the likelihood of problems in process.
The actual surgery time is usually less than that for standard implant surgeries since the position of the implant is predetermined.
The major advantage of 3D guided implants is that this process takes less time to
heal than in the case of other implants.
Despite the fact that they appear to have a slightly higher first cost, these are far better and more economical for a longer working time.
