We use advanced 3D scanning and computer planning to place your dental implants with exceptional precision and safety, helping you enjoy a smoother procedure and faster healing.
Guided implant surgery combines advanced 3D imaging with digital treatment planning so we can map out your exact procedure before making a single incision. By creating a custom surgical guide based on your unique anatomy, we know the depth and angle before we start, instead of judging it in the chair. We help you with:
Feature | Computer-Guided Implant Surgery | Traditional Freehand Surgery |
|---|---|---|
Surgical Planning | Mapped digitally in 3D down to the millimeter before treatment begins | Relies heavily on visual estimation and manual alignment during the visit |
Precision & Safety | Uses a custom surgical guide to place the implant at the exact planned angle | Involves higher reliance on manual adjustments during the procedure |
Healing & Comfort | Often allows for smaller incisions, leading to less swelling and quicker recovery | Can involve wider gum openings and longer post-treatment tenderness |
We take a comfortable, detailed 3D scan of your jaw to see your bone density, nerve pathways, and surrounding teeth clearly.
We use specialized software to place your virtual implants at the ideal depth and angle for maximum long-term stability.
We print your custom surgical guide on our in-house 3D printer, usually without waiting on an outside lab. It seats on your teeth and holds our instruments to the planned angle.
We perform your implant placement using the guide, ensuring a smooth, efficient appointment with minimal disruption to your gums.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud plans an implant procedure, he believes that thorough preparation is the key to a comfortable experience. By mapping your anatomy digitally ahead of time, we cut down the surprises during your appointment and put the implant where the final restoration actually needs it to be.
Standard dental x-rays are flat, two-dimensional images. A 3D CBCT scan gives us a complete, multi-layered view of your jawbone, nerves, and sinuses so we can see exactly where there is bone to work with and where there is not.
In many cases, guided surgery allows us to use minimally invasive, flapless techniques that require very few or even no stitches, which makes your recovery much easier.
We view digital planning as an essential standard of care for modern implant dentistry rather than an extra add-on. We will review all your costs transparently during your consultation.
We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options. You will feel pressure during the appointment, but you should not feel sharp pain, and the guide usually keeps the visit shorter than freehand placement.
