Guided Implant Surgery

Guided dental implant surgery is an effective option to assist oral surgeons with dental implant procedures, jaw bone grafting, and sinus lift surgeries. Using guided implant surgery, specifically the nSequence® technique, guided dental implant surgery allows for precise planning before your oral surgery so that Dr. Stein and Dr. Koslovsky can approach your particular needs with the utmost personal care possible.

Benefits of nSequence® include:

• A high success rate
• Extreme precision
• An accurate placement of your implant
• The latest available software and procedures

What is guided dental implant surgery using nSequence®?

Dental implant surgery using the nSequence® dental laboratory can provide your oral surgeon with extreme precision when placing your implant. The efficiency of nSequence® increases the safety of the procedure as well as the success rate. nSequence® guided dental implant surgery provides the most up-to-date and scientific techniques available. nSequence® is a safe, reliable way to ensure your dental implants are properly placed and loaded. Using a CT Scan taken in our office, nSequence® allows for Dr. Stein and Dr. Koslovsky to plan every potential treatment option for your particular needs.

The process of guided implant surgery provides us with the time to virtually plan your surgery to ensure its success. This virtual planning leads to a more efficient, predictable procedure. Granting us many abilities, guided dental implant surgery allows our oral surgeons to select the appropriate size implant for your specific needs and avoid important structures such as nerves and sinuses when your implant or implants are placed. Additionally, nSequence® software enables our surgeons to place the implant at the correct depth, rotation, and trajectory to ensure the most successful procedure.

Is computer-guided dental implant surgery safe?

Yes! The guided surgery has safety parameters to ensure your well-being and the success of your procedure. With guided dental implant surgery, the margin of error is greatly reduced as the planning prior to your procedure eliminates any unknown or unexpected circumstances. Dr. Stein and Dr. Koslovsky are completely aware of your particular requirements and needs during your procedure due to the extensive virtual planning that is permitted with nSequence®.

Additionally, nSequence® allows for a full evaluation of your jaw, like bone loss or mass, how many implants are needed, and the location of important anatomical structures. The guided surgery itself reduces risks as nSequence® locates the exact place needed to make an incision and place the planned dental implants, which protects important nerves from damage during surgery. With nSequence®, our dental implant surgeons know the exact depths that they are able to drill, the precise rotation, and the angling of the implant in order to assure the safest procedure.

What is the healing time for a guided implant surgery?

In most cases, a tooth or teeth can be placed with loaded dental implants the same day, whereas some implant procedures require a second visit to place the crown. This determination is made between the restorative dentist and our oral surgeons. Your restorative dentist would place the immediate temporary crown on your implant as long as Dr. Stein and Dr. Koslovsky feel it’s safe to place the crown the day of the surgery. After your dental implant is loaded, there will be a recovery time to allow for osseointegration, or the direct bonding of the implant to the living bone of your jaw. There will be a minimal period of slight soreness that may last from 1-2 days. The placement of one implant takes roughly 15-20 minutes using this efficient technology.
