Benefits of Guided Implant Dentistry

Guided implant dentistry is ushering in a new era in dental implants. Precision is everything in teeth restoration—advances in digital dentistry have given us guided implant dentistry. Tooth placement in traditional implant surgery relies on your dentist’s visual assessment, experience, and manual dexterity. Though that works well in many cases, it brings variability in complex cases. Guided implant dentistry flips that script. Its sophisticated imaging and planning tools have given cosmetic dentists in Woodbridge the precision to place every implant in exactly the correct place. If you’re exploring your implant options, guided implant surgery is certainly worth knowing about. Here’s how dentists in Woodbridge and the world over are changing smiles with guided implant dentistry.  

1. Greater Accuracy & Safety

Even a tiny deviation can affect the results when placing a dental implant. That’s where the high-resolution 3D scans used in guided implant surgery shine! Your dentist can clearly visualize the location of nerves, sinus cavities, and bone density. They allow your cosmetic dentist in Woodbridge to fabricate a custom surgical guide(essentially a stent made of clear acrylic) based on the data. The guide is then placed in the mouth to direct the implant into the ideal position. This plan guides the surgical process down to the millimetre, ensuring your implant is perfectly angled and aligned, factoring in available space and desired position. This brings remarkable precision and prevents nerve damage and other complications like improper tooth alignment. Mackenzie Dental Centre employs advanced technology like in-house CBCT scans and the Primescan intraoral scanner for detailed digital images and impressions, minus the goopy moulds and discomfort!

2. Shorter Procedure & Recovery Time

Guided implant surgery dramatically shortens the implant procedure time by removing trial-and-error guesswork.  Your dentist in Woodbridge already knows exactly where and how the implant will be placed. What’s more, many guided procedures can be done ‘flapless’ —there’s no need to cut and lift the gum tissue. This means:

• Less bleeding
• Less swelling
• Reduced discomfort
• Shorter recovery time

You’ll be back to eating, smiling, and living your life with confidence much sooner. Fewer post-operative issues and follow-up visits or additional treatments are only a bonus! 

3. Better Results for Complex Cases

Every patient is not a textbook case—some have low bone density, unique jaw structures, or other conditions that make traditional implant placement challenging. In the past, such patients were considered unfit for implants. Thankfully, your dentist in Woodbridge can overcome such difficulties with guided implant dentistry. The technology allows for precise planning for areas where space is tight, or bone volume is limited. This expands treatment options for patients who might otherwise miss out. At Mackenzie Dental Centre, Dr. Pedvis and his team use the CEREC Primemill technology alongside Primescan imaging to design and mill precise restorations for you. That means faster treatment and perfectly tailored crowns or bridges to match your new implant!
