Precision and Safety: How Guided Surgery Revolutionizes Dental Implants

Featured Answer: What is guided implant surgery?

Guided surgery uses 3D imaging and digital planning to fabricate a custom guide that helps place implants precisely according to your anatomy—improving accuracy, safety, and efficiency.

The Role of CBCT

Cone‑beam CT maps bone volume, nerves, and sinuses in three dimensions so we can plan ideal implant position and angulation.

Benefits to Patients

Smaller incisions and less chair time in many cases
Protection of vital structures
More predictable esthetics and hygiene access for the final crown

E‑E‑A‑T: Dr. Fatima’s FICOI/FAAIP background supports evidence‑based planning and prosthetically driven placement for long‑term success.
