What are the advantages of guided surgery compared with conventional implant placement?

Guided surgery has several advantages over the conventional method of implant placement. The use of 3D planning means the exact position of the implant is determined in advance. This minimises the risk of incorrect placement, such as an implant that is too deep or at the wrong angle. Thanks to the surgical guide, the procedure is often less invasive, resulting in less swelling and pain after surgery. The accuracy prevents damage to surrounding structures, such as nerves or adjacent teeth. Patients generally experience a shorter recovery period and a lower risk of complications. Because the operation is carefully planned, the surgery time is often shorter, which also improves comfort. Guided surgery makes it possible to achieve a predictable result even in complex cases. The technique also increases the likelihood of successful osseointegration because the implant is placed in the optimal position. All in all, guided surgery offers a better patient experience and long-term implant stability.
