At Del Mar Dental Studio, we combine advanced training with cutting-edge technology to ensure your dental implants are placed with precision, efficiency, and comfort. 3D Guided Dental Implants use detailed digital scans and computer-aided planning to create a surgical guide tailored specifically to your anatomy. This approach allows us to place your implant in the most ideal position for long-term success, aesthetics, and function.
Studies show that 3D Guided dental implant placements have a five-year survival rate of around 95.6%, even in complex cases—highlighting the reliability and long-term success of guided implant surgery.
What Are
3D Guided Dental Implants?
3D Guided Dental Implants are placed using a fully digital, pre-planned approach rather than relying solely on freehand surgery. We take a detailed 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan of your jaw, which allows us to visualize bone structure, nerves, and surrounding tissues with remarkable accuracy. Using this data, we design a custom surgical guide that ensures your implant is positioned in the most stable and esthetically pleasing location possible.
The 3D Guided Dental Implant
Process
1. Consultation & Evaluation
We start with a comprehensive exam, reviewing your dental and medical history, and discussing your smile goals.
2. Digital Treatment Planning
Our team uses advanced implant planning software to map out your exact implant position, depth, and angle before surgery begins.
3. 3D CBCT Scan
We take a high-resolution 3D Cone Beam CT scan of your jawbone to identify the most precise placement site while avoiding vital structures.
4. Custom Surgical Guide Creation
Based on your scan, we fabricate a personalized surgical guide that directs the exact angle, depth, and position for your implant.
5. Guided Implant Surgery
Using the guide, we place your implant with optimal precision, minimizing tissue disruption and promoting faster healing.
Benefits of
3D Guided Dental Implants
Enhanced Accuracy
Digital mapping ensures your implant is placed in the exact position needed for strength, function, and aesthetics. By knowing precisely where the implant will go before surgery even begins, we can avoid guesswork and protect nearby nerves, sinuses, and surrounding structures—leading to a safer, more predictable outcome.
Minimally Invasive Approach
Because the guide eliminates uncertainty, we can create smaller, more precise incisions. This reduces disruption to the surrounding gum and bone tissue, which means less discomfort during recovery, minimal swelling, and a lower risk of complications. For many patients, this also means a faster return to normal activities.
Better Long-Term Outcomes
Placing the implant at the perfect depth, angle, and position helps distribute bite forces evenly, reducing stress on your restoration and supporting healthy bone over time. This level of precision encourages stronger integration with the jawbone and contributes to the long-term stability of your new tooth or teeth.
Improved Patient Experience
Shorter surgery times, gentler techniques, and reduced healing discomfort make the overall experience more comfortable. Many patients report feeling more confident and relaxed knowing their treatment is fully planned in advance and executed with the latest technology for optimal results.
Titanium vs. Zirconia Implants
We offer both titanium and zirconia dental implants to meet different patient needs.
➧ Titanium Implants – The most widely used and researched implant material, known for exceptional durability and a proven track record of success.
➧ Zirconia Implants – A metal-free, ceramic alternative that blends seamlessly with natural teeth and is ideal for patients with metal sensitivities.
During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the best material for your specific case, ensuring your implant not only functions flawlessly but also looks completely natural.
