An implant surgical guide may be needed when your oral treatment includes an implant placement. This surgical guide will help your doctor plan and place your implant(s) accurately by creating a functional and predictable outcome for your dental restoration. A surgical guide is a device customized and made to fit the patient’s mouth.

This guide has indicators that specify the exact location where the dentist has to place the implant in the mouth. These indicators show angle, depth and position where the implant needs to be placed, allowing the doctor to perform a precise and accurate placing of your dental implants.

Characteristics include:

• The dental professional can be sure you implant is fit in the correct position and the outcome of the treatment is effective and long lasting.
• A surgical guide provides an exact guide to place the implant in the most perfect and effective way. 
• The accuracy that a surgical guide provides will enhance your oral functions and speed up the time you need to wait for your oral functions (biting, chewing) to work properly again.
•  Knowing in advance the exact location, depth and angle of the position of the implant makes the treatment period much shorter.
• A surgical guide provides a computer guided implant procedure.  Knowing this structure before placing the implant can reduce the possibility of unexpected problems during the implant treatment.
