Free-hand Dental Implant Surgery

The traditional technique for dental implant surgery is for the oral surgeon to perform the procedure free-hand. In free-hand surgery, the surgeon uses a hand-held instrument to place
your implant. The surgeon places the implant after looking closely at your bone, gums, and nearby teeth. Exact implant placement can sometimes be more difficult with free-hand surgery due to human error.

Surgical Guide Dental Implant Surgery

Surgical guides fit to your teeth with guide holes for the implant surgery procedure.

Benefits of Surgical Guides:

  • Guides are fitted for your mouth and help plan implant placement.
  • While guides may not be a good option for hard-to-reach areas, they may make it easier to place your implants in exactly the right place.
  • Guides may also allow for less invasive dental implant surgery.

However, guides do not allow the surgeon to make changes to plan during surgery. This may result in delays to complete your surgery. Sometimes surgical guides may not work well due to poor fit. This may also result in delays to complete your surgery.
