Not surprisingly, Image-Guided Implants begin with digital imaging. You're probably accustomed to having X-rays taken at the dentist's office, but this imaging is different. Instead of traditional X-rays, Dr. Bianchin uses 3-D imaging technology to take a precise scan of your mouth and jaw. This 3-D imaging is far more detailed than traditional X-rays and enables far greater accuracy.
After your 3-D scans are complete, Dr. Bianchin will be able to determine the exact details of your implant surgery and create a plan for your treatment. Your digital scans are uploaded to a computer, and with the help of virtual surgical software, a visual representation of what will happen during your surgery is created and made into a template that will be used when placing your implants.
This plan serves two purposes:
1. It allows you as the patient to see in advance what your surgery will look like, which can help you make more informed decisions about your treatment.
2. It provides Dr. Bianchin with greater detail, in preparation for placing your implant, and allows him to make adjustments and eliminate surprises the day of your actual surgery. This ensures that your surgery will go smoothly and be less invasive than traditional implant placements.

Image-guided dental implant surgery utilizes tracking devices and cameras to safely and efficiently guide the placement of your implant. It works like a GPS system for surgical tools. The 3-D image of your jaw are the map that this particular GPS system uses. Each movement of the dental tools and implant materials is tracked and guided by a computer system. This is the same technology used in other highly delicate medical procedures.
This method ensures that your implant will be placed in the precise spot Dr. Bianchin determines it should go, assuring implant success. This computer-guided process is highly accurate and helps guard against improper placement that might lead to complications or long recovery times.
