Computer guided implant surgery represents a giant step forward in
the replacement of teeth with dental implants. Using Computerized
Tomography (CT) Scan techniques and 3-D imaging, dentists can now
visualize the placement of dental implants in three dimensions. This
eliminates the guesswork involved determining what parts of the jawbone
offer the best sites for dental implant placement.
It also allows the dentist to create the permanent restoration prior to surgery and place the restoration the day of the surgery. Computer guided implant surgery provides greater patient satisfaction and simplifies the dental implant treatment process.
The actual implant placement and final restoration is completed in hours, not months. Often referred to as Teeth-in-an-Hour™, this treatment option is made possible through Procera 3D planning software and Nobel Biocare™ technology.

Benefits of Computer Guided Surgery - Precision ... Accuracy ... Success
This revolutionary system offers a more accurate and safer positioning of dental implants and provides the patient with permanent teeth in about an hour. This technology enables your doctor to get an advanced, detailed look at the interior sections of the jaw bone, surrounding tissue and the nerves. These CT scan machines are the same as those used to aid surgeons in joint replacement procedures.
