Main Steps Involved in Guided Implant Surgery

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Our oral surgeon, Dr. Lizano, begins with a thorough evaluation of each patient’s oral health, utilizing advanced imaging techniques to assess bone density and quality and pinpoint the exact location of critical anatomical structures.

2. Virtual Treatment Planning: Once the assessment is complete, Dr. Lizano then uses the data to create a 3D model of the patient’s jaw. The dental implant surgeon virtually plans the implant procedure, ensuring precise positioning and optimal implant size selection.

3. Fabrication of Surgical Guide: A custom surgical guide is fabricated based on the virtual plan. This guide ensures the exact placement and angle of the implant, preventing any deviation during surgery.

4. Implant Placement: With the surgical guide, our dental implant surgeon in Danville performs the implant surgery with high accuracy, adhering to the pre-determined plan. The guided implant surgery minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding tissues and structures.

5. Post-Operative Care: After Dr. Lizano places the dental implant, the dentist provides detailed instructions for post-operative care. This includes guidelines for proper oral hygiene and scheduling follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure the success of the implant.
