What is Virtual Surgical Planning(VSP)?

"Measure twice, cut once." Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), or computer guided planning, is an advanced operation design tool we use to make jaw surgery more precise, predictable, and efficient.

​

The first stage is data acquisition where we take a CT scans and in some cases a MRI scan. In step two, your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a surgical technician will work together to plan the final structure of your surgery and the steps to get there. Afterwards, we will have a consult with the patient to ensure the design is aesthetically appealing to them, while also preserving functional structures. Once your set and prepared for your Jaw Surgery, your oral surgeon will make precise cuts and splints that follow the previously designed model. This ensures the final result consistently fulfills the patient's needs.
