Surgical Guide & Implant Planning FAQ
What is a surgical guide?
A surgical guide is a custom-made template used during implant surgery to help the doctor place implants precisely according to the digital treatment plan. It ensures correct angle, depth, and position of the implant.
What is digital implant planning?
Implant planning involves using CBCT scans and intraoral scans to virtually place implants before surgery. This helps avoid nerves, sinuses, or thin bone and ensures predictable results.
Why should I use a surgical guide for implant placement?
Using a guide significantly improves accuracy, reduces surgery time, minimizes complications, and enhances patient outcomes—especially for full-arch or tight anatomical cases.
What do I need to submit to order a surgical guide?
We typically need:
- A recent CBCT scan (DICOM format)
- STL or intraoral scans of the jaw(s)
- Bite registration (if doing full-arch)
- Treatment preferences (implant type, position, restorative plan)
How long does it take to receive the guide?
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days. Rush options are available. Our in-house lab helps us deliver quickly.
What type of implant systems do you support?
We support most major systems including Straumann, Nobel, BioHorizons, Neodent, Implant Direct, and more.
Is there someone I can talk to during planning?
Yes — our U.S.-based technicians are available for live planning support and review. We’re here to guide you through every step.
Do you offer training or help interpreting CBCTs?
Absolutely. We provide live walkthroughs for new users and offer educational sessions on reading CBCTs and guide placement.
