What Is Computer-Guided Implant Surgery?
Computer-guided surgery uses 3D imaging, digital treatment planning, and custom surgical guides to precisely position dental implants.
Using CBCT scans and specialized software, Dr. Kharmouche maps out the exact implant angle, depth, and placement before surgery ever begins.
This allows for:
- Accurate implant positioning
- Increased safety
- Improved esthetics
- Faster, more efficient procedures
- Minimally invasive techniques
Guided surgery reduces guesswork and significantly enhances long-term implant success.
Benefits of Computer-Guided Implant Surgery
Our Computer-Guided Surgery Process
Why Computer-Guided Surgery Is Important
Implant success relies on accurate placement. Even slight variations in angulation or depth can affect:
- Bone integration
- Bite alignment
- Implant stability
- Esthetic outcomes
- Long-term function
Computer-guided planning ensures the implant is placed exactly where it will perform best—aligned with bone quality, tooth position, and future restoration requirements.
Conditions That Benefit from Computer-Guided Surgery
Guided implant placement is recommended for:
- Single implants
- Full arch implants (All-on-4)
- Multiple implant restorations
- Patients with limited bone
- Complex anatomical structures
- Previously failed implants
- Immediate implant placement after extraction
The technology makes even challenging cases predictable and safe.
Is Computer-Guided Surgery Better Than Freehand Placement?
In most cases, yes. Guided surgery offers:
- Higher precision
- More predictable results
- Improved esthetics
- Better long-term stability
- Reduced complications
Freehand placement still has clinical value, but guided surgery provides the highest accuracy—especially for complex or esthetic cases.
Who Is a Candidate for Computer-Guided Implant Surgery?
Most implant patients qualify for guided surgery, especially those who:
- Want minimally invasive surgery
- Need multiple implants
- Have limited bone or anatomical challenges
- Require All-on-4 or full-arch solutions
- Want the safest, most predictable implant outcome
