CT guided Implant Placement
Your safety and comfort is our priority
What is CT guided Implant Placement?
CT-guided implant placement is a modern technique we use to make dental implant surgery more accurate, predictable, and safe.
​
The process begins with a 3D CT scan of your jaws, which gives us a detailed view of your bone, surrounding teeth, and important structures like nerves and sinuses. Using this scan, we create a virtual model of your mouth and plan the exact position, angle, and depth for each implant before your surgery.
This informs the oral surgeon of your anatomy and helps ensure your implants are placed in the ideal position for strength, function, and appearance, while reducing the risk of complications and often shortening the procedure time.
Measurements
The most important information from a CT scsan for implant placement is if there is enough bone in the right place for a stable implant. Your oral surgeon will view the cross section of the desired implant position to measure the available bone.
​
If bone is lacking at the top of the upper jaw, it dictates a Sinus Lift. If bone is lacking at the immediate bone surface where the implant would be drilled into, the oral surgeon can still potentially place the implant at a orientation that bites where there is bone assuming the angulation is correct, and then fill in the lacking areas with a Bone Graft.
