What Is Digitally Guided Implant Surgery?

Precision and Personalization for Your Best Smile

Digitally Guided Implant Surgery is a modern approach that uses advanced technology to make dental implant procedures more precise and efficient. Unlike traditional methods, this technique relies on 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning to map out exactly where implants should go before surgery even begins.

At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman uses this cutting-edge technology to place implants with exceptional accuracy, customized to fit each patient’s unique anatomy. This not only improves the success rate of implants but also reduces discomfort and shortens treatment time.

How the Process Works

Step-by-Step Innovation for Flawless Implant Placement

Comprehensive 3D Imaging and Assessment

The journey begins with a thorough evaluation using advanced 3D imaging technology. Dr. Harriman creates a detailed virtual model of the patient’s mouth, capturing the jawbone structure and surrounding tissues. This allows us to plan the ideal placement of implants, ensuring they align perfectly with the patient’s bite and facial features.

Customized Treatment Planning

Next, Dr. Harriman uses the 3D data to design a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s unique needs. Computer software simulates implant placement, enabling precise adjustments for maximum stability and function. This meticulous planning helps us anticipate challenges and ensures a smooth, successful procedure.

Guided Implant Placement Surgery

On surgery day, we use a custom-made surgical guide based on the digital plan. This guide ensures each implant is placed at the exact angle and depth determined during planning. By following this plan, Dr. Harriman can achieve greater accuracy, reduce the risk of complications, and enhance the durability of the implants—all while making the procedure more comfortable for the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here to Answer Your Questions

  • Digitally guided implant surgery uses advanced 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning to map out exactly where dental implants should go before the procedure. This technology allows for precise placement, reducing treatment time and improving success rates. Unlike traditional methods that rely more on manual measurements and less detailed planning, digitally guided surgery offers a more accurate and efficient approach to implant placement.

  • While this technique has many benefits, it’s not the right fit for everyone. Patients need to have enough bone density and good oral health to support the implants. Dr. Harriman at Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if digitally guided implant surgery is the best option for your specific needs.

  • The process starts with an initial consultation and 3D imaging, followed by detailed treatment planning and the surgical procedure itself. Depending on individual circumstances, the full timeline can range from a few weeks to a few months. Dr. Harriman will provide a personalized timeline so patients know what to expect every step of the way.

  • Recovery is often more comfortable and faster with digitally guided implant surgery because of the precision involved. Patients may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, which can be managed with medication. Most people can return to normal activities within a few days, while complete healing typically takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on the case.

Check out what our happy clients are saying.

A Personal Touch

My son had his wisdom teeth removed last month. Dr. Harriman called me personally to schedule the appointment and explained the procedure and what to expect before during and after. The staff was so friendly and answered all my questions and after care. They called me that evening to check on him and a few days after. He did not have stitches so the site looked odd this was about 2 weeks after this was on a Friday I called the office and Dr. Harriman called me back right away. I sent him pictures and it was normal. But he offered to see him Saturday morning on his day off. I wasn't worried and everything turned out fine. I am so grateful for the kindness and attentiveness of the doctors and office staff at this office. I highly recommend them.

A Simple Thank You

I came here on a referral for wisdom teeth removal. On my consult, the team as well as Dr. Harriman answered all of my questions and set my mind at ease. Fast forward to my procedure. The staff was amazing and kept any anxiety I had at bay. I can't praise Dr. Harriman enough for how great his bedside manner is. Thank you for getting me through this.

Where to Begin?

I don’t even know where to begin. I was referred here to get some extensive dental procedures done, and I have never felt more comfortable and well taken care of anywhere else. Dr. Harriman is extremely kind and caring. He is incredible at what he does! I have very high anxiety and he has always been so patient and supportive of what I needed. I truly cannot thank him and his staff for everything they have done for me. So thankful I was referred to him! Also big shout out to Shay one of the assistants there, she is also so incredibly kind and I also want to thank her for always being so helpful. She always makes me feel better when she is in the room with me! Thank you all so much!
