Guided Implant Surgery in South Burlington
Computer-guided implant surgery uses advanced 3D imaging and digital treatment planning to place dental implants with exceptional accuracy.
At Green Mountain Dental, we use this technology to plan every detail of your implant procedure before surgery begins, ensuring optimal implant position, angle, and depth for the best possible outcomes.
How Guided Surgery Works
The process begins with a 3D cone beam CT scan that creates a detailed digital model of your jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures. Using specialized software, our dentists plan the exact placement of each implant virtually, considering bone density, nerve locations, and the final restoration design.
A custom surgical guide is then fabricated, either 3D printed or milled in our office, that fits over your teeth and guides the implant placement with pinpoint accuracy during surgery.
Advantages of Guided Surgery
Guided implant surgery offers more predictable and precise implant placement, shorter surgical time, less invasive procedures with smaller incisions, faster healing and reduced post-operative discomfort, the ability to plan around anatomical structures for maximum safety, and better long-term outcomes for your implant restoration.
This technology is especially valuable for complex cases involving multiple implants or patients with limited bone.
Most patients are candidates for guided implant surgery, and our team at Green Mountain Dental will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and overall goals to determine the best approach for your smile restoration in South Burlington.
Frequently Asked Questions
While there is some additional cost for the digital planning and surgical guide, many patients find the improved accuracy, faster healing, and better outcomes well worth the investment.
Because the procedure is planned in advance and guided precisely, surgical time is often shorter than traditional implant placement. Most single implant procedures take under an hour.
