Often, yes. Because guided planning lets us see your bone volume in 3D before treatment, we can frequently identify implant positions that avoid the need for extensive grafting; though a bone graft may still be recommended in more advanced cases. We’ll confirm your suitability at your CBCT scan and consultation.

Both use the same titanium implants and give the same long-term result. The difference is in the planning: guided surgery maps the entire procedure digitally in advance using a CBCT scan and custom surgical guide, while conventional placement is planned more heavily during the surgery itself. Guided surgery generally offers greater precision, particularly for complex or multiple-implant cases. Read more about the standard implant procedure.

Guided implant surgery relies on an intraoral scan, a CBCT scan and a 3D-printed surgical guide all working together accurately. Because we own and operate this equipment ourselves rather than outsourcing any stage to an external lab, your treatment plan and surgical guide are produced faster, with tighter quality control, and by the same team who will carry out your surgery.
