Digitally Guiding Your Surgery

01

CBCT Imaging

Our treatment plans begin with comprehensive CBCT imaging if your mouth. This technology takes high-quality digital images of your teeth and bone in 3D, an accurate representation of your mouth that significantly increases the accuracy of treatment planning and surgery. CBCT imaging is fast and efficient, exposing patients to only a fraction of the radiation as that of traditional x-rays.

02

Simplant® Software

Simplant is a computer-guided virtual implant treatment software we use to plan your implant treatment, surgery, and final restoration. Using the digital images from your CBCT scan, we virtually design the surgical guides. Enhanced precision reduces procedural time and improves accuracy, optimizing the fit of the final restoration created with the same digital software.

03

3D Surgical Guides

Virtual treatment planning and our 3D surgical guides take the guesswork out of surgery. With a custom guide in place, we can quickly place one or more dental implants knowing they will be positioned in the most ideal location in your jawbone. This reduces any chance for human error and improves your comfort and healing. Many times, we can attach a temporary crown or prosthesis the day of your surgery, so you will never be without teeth.
