Understanding

What is a surgical guide?

A rigid, custom-made splint placed during surgery: its sleeves steer the drill exactly according to the plan validated on the scan.

01

Planned in 3D

Position, angle and depth chosen on your CBCT scan.

02

Printed on site

The guide is made in resin at the clinic.

03

Placed precisely

The implant goes exactly where it was planned.

Manufacturing

3D CBCT scan

03

Planning

The two files are superimposed; each implant is positioned according to the bone and the future tooth.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Is guided surgery more expensive?

It requires a scan, planning and a guide. The quote is detailed at the consultation; see also our article on implant cost.

Is the guide suitable for everyone?

In the vast majority of cases. A very limited mouth opening can sometimes make it difficult to use.

How long does it take to make the guide?

Design and printing are done at the clinic, which greatly shortens the lead time.

Will I feel the guide?

It is placed once the anaesthetic has taken effect: only slight pressure.
