Computer guided implants

precision made perfect

Computer-guided dentistry is a revolutionary way of treating many dental conditions. Many of our procedures are performed using computer guided techniques to deliver the best possible result.

What is computer-guided dentistry? 

Computer-guided dentistry represents a giant step forward in many aspects of dentistry, such as the replacement of teeth with dental implants and oral surgery. Using Cone Beam CT Scan techniques and 3D imaging, dentists can now visualise the patient’s jaws and teeth in three dimensions. This eliminates the guesswork involved, and dentists can perform surgical procedures with precision and safety.

How does this 3D technology improve treatments? 

To ensure successful dental treatment, such as implant placement, one must take into account the patient’s functional requirements, and anatomy. During the assessments, 3D imaging can visualise previously undetectable anatomic variability and pathology. This greatly aids in safety and precision and contributes to a greater success rate.

Do all dental practices have 3D imaging and computer-guided dentistry? 

Unfortunately, due to the high costs involved, most dental practices in Australia do not have the technology available onsite. Hill St Dental Implants are proud to be one of very few clinics to offer this technology.

how does computer-guided surgery work? 

Our dentists virtually perform and plan the surgery using 3D printing technology, prior to a procedure. Once this precise surgical guide is constructed, we can perform surgery – similar to keyhole surgery – and place dental implants without any guesswork. This advanced planning and technology means the procedure can be performed safely with minimal discomfort to our patients.
