Computer Guided Implant Surgery
Computer Guided Implant Surgery in Vancouver
Vancouver Surgical Centre For Implant & Periodontal Treatment
Computer guided implant placement uses the latest imaging technologies and software to assure accurate placement of dental implants in the jaw. At implant Perio Centre, in order to better plan and avoid late discovery of inadequate bone structures, a CT scan of the patient’s jawbone is taken during their consultation appointment.
The CT scan is then processed through sophisticated virtual reality software and converted into a three-dimensional, virtual-model of the patient’s jaw.
Implant positioning and placement is simulated on the computer and a surgical/drilling guide is fabricated for the 3D planning and placement of the implants during surgery.
The custom made drilling guide is fitted in the mouth on the day of the surgery and utilized for precise placement of implants. Since surgical time is reduced and minimal gum “flap” needs to be elevated, post operative pain, swelling and bruising are minimized.
Utilizing computer guided surgery enables our team at Implant Perio Centre to replace missing teeth in a day, restoring your smile and bite on the same day of your surgery.
Please don’t hesitate to consult with one of our specialists if you have any questions or concerns regarding our procedures for dental implant surgery.
