Why use a surgical guide?Surgical guides improve accuracy, reduce surgical time, minimize complications, and help ensure the best possible implant placement for both function and esthetics.
-
What do I need to send to start a guide case?We require a CBCT scan and either a digital intraoral scan or a physical impression, along with your planned implant sites and preferences.
-
Do I get to review the guide before it’s made?Yes! We always send the digital plan to the clinician for approval before printing the guide. Adjustments can be made as needed to match your surgical preferences.

What is a dental implant, and how does it work?A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. It supports a crown, bridge, or denture and functions like a natural tooth.
-
What’s the difference between a screw-retained and a cement-retained crown?A screw-retained crown is attached with a screw and can be easily removed for maintenance. A cement-retained crown is bonded to an abutment and offers a more seamless look, especially for anterior teeth.
-
What is a custom abutment, and why might I need one?A custom abutment is a personalized connector between your implant and crown. It ensures the best possible fit, esthetics, and soft tissue support—especially important in visible areas.
