3D Planning

CT scans have been used in the planning stages of dental implants for many years. 

This highly accurate image allows us to more accurately diagnose a problem, identify the exact position of vital structures and to assess the amount of bone available for a dental implant.

Recent developments in 3 Dimensional technology, have facilitated virtual planning, allowing a digital implant to be placed into the CT scan, and then a 3D printed surgical guide is used to copy this position to an extremely high level of accuracy.

This can mean a high risk procedure, working very close to a nerve for example, can be undertaken with a greater degree of certainty. Making the whole process a lot safer and more predictable.
