When considering full-mouth dental implants, one of the most common questions we receive is: What is fully guided surgery? Dr Vijay explains the importance of this cutting-edge technique and how it has revolutionised implant placement.
Decades ago, placing dental implants required a manual, freehand approach. Surgeons would rely on 2D X-rays, which provided only a limited view of the patient's bone structure. The procedure involved numbing the patient, extracting teeth, and surgically exploring the best sites for implant placement. This method was time-consuming, less precise, and often traumatic for the patient.
Fast forward to today, technology has transformed implant surgery. Thanks to advancements in 3D imaging and digital planning, we can now perform a virtual surgery before the actual procedure takes place. This allows us to pre-plan every detail with extreme precision.
Fully guided surgery involves using state-of-the-art digital scans to map out the optimal implant positions before any surgical intervention. Here’s how the process works:
While implant placement is crucial, the relationship between the implants and the final prosthetic teeth is even more important. Without guided surgery, implants could end up misaligned or in suboptimal positions, making it difficult to place the final prosthetics correctly.
By using fully guided surgery, we ensure that implants emerge exactly in the middle of the prosthetic teeth, enhancing:
✅ Increased Precision – Every implant is positioned with millimetre accuracy, reducing the risk of complications.
✅ Faster Surgery & Recovery – Guided surgery is significantly quicker than freehand methods, leading to less trauma and faster healing.
✅ Less Invasive & More Comfortable – There’s no need for extensive surgical exploration, making the procedure much smoother for patients.
✅ Long-Term Success – Proper implant positioning ensures better stability, function, and longevity of the prosthetic teeth.
Fully guided implant surgery has transformed modern dentistry, offering patients a safer, more efficient, and more predictable alternative to traditional implant placement. By combining digital precision with expert surgical techniques, 21D ensures that every patient receives the best possible outcome for their full-mouth dental implants.
