Computer-guided surgery represents a cutting-edge approach to dental implant placement at London Dental Specialists. This advanced technology allows our specialists to create detailed 3D models of your mouth before any procedure begins. Using precise digital planning, we map the exact position, angle and depth for each implant, ensuring optimal results with minimal invasiveness. Many patients wonder about the benefits, procedure steps, recovery time, and success rates of computer-guided implants. Our technology significantly reduces surgical time, improves accuracy, and can often make the difference between requiring bone grafts or not. We understand considering dental implants is a significant decision, which is why we've compiled these frequently asked questions about our computer-guided surgical approach.
Computer-guided implant surgery is an advanced dental technique that uses 3D imaging, specialised software, and precise digital planning to place dental implants with exceptional accuracy. At London Dental Specialists, this technology allows our surgeons to create detailed surgical plans before the procedure, visualising the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant. This results in more predictable outcomes, reduced surgical time, and often less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional implant techniques.
Computer-guided surgery at London Dental Specialists offers numerous benefits including:
The computer-guided implant process at London Dental Specialists involves several key steps:
While computer-guided implant surgery at London Dental Specialists may have a higher initial cost than traditional methods, many patients find it cost-effective in the long term. The increased precision often leads to fewer complications, better long-term outcomes, and potentially reduced need for additional procedures. During your consultation, our team will provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing, allowing you to make an informed decision about your dental care investment.
Computer-guided surgery is suitable for most implant patients at London Dental Specialists, but is particularly beneficial for complex cases. This includes patients with limited bone volume, those needing multiple implants, or cases requiring precise aesthetic outcomes. During your consultation, our specialists will assess your specific situation and determine if computer-guided surgery is the optimal approach for your needs. Even in straightforward cases, many patients choose guided surgery for its precision and predictability.
Computer-guided implant surgery at London Dental Specialists typically takes less time than traditional implant procedures. The exact duration depends on the number of implants being placed and the complexity of your case. Simple single-implant cases may take as little as 20-30 minutes for the surgical portion, while more complex multiple-implant cases might require 1-2 hours. Because much of the planning is done before surgery, the actual procedure is often more efficient and streamlined.
Recovery after computer-guided implant surgery at London Dental Specialists is often more comfortable compared to traditional methods. The precise planning and minimally invasive approach typically result in less trauma to surrounding tissues, reduced swelling, and minimal post-operative discomfort. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 days, though complete healing and osseointegration (the process of the implant fusing with bone) still requires the standard healing time of 3-6 months before final restorations can be placed.
Computer-guided implant surgery at London Dental Specialists offers exceptional accuracy, with implant placement typically achieving precision within fractions of a millimetre of the planned position. This level of accuracy is significantly higher than what can be achieved with freehand techniques. The 3D planning software, combined with custom surgical guides, ensures that implants are placed at the optimal position, angle, and depth for both functional and aesthetic outcomes, while safely avoiding vital structures like nerves and sinuses.
