Secure and precise implant treatment

SurgiGuide: the concept

Once you decide to have dental implants, you want to be assured that you will receive the best possible results. SurgiGuides drill guides are specifically developed for this purpose. Talk to Dr. Meeker to see if SurgiGuides would benefit you.

What are SurgiGuides?

A SurgiGuide is a drill guide that is custom manufactured for each patient. During the operation, the SurgiGuide is placed on the jawbone, gum or remaining teeth, and guides the surgeon’s drill to the planned implant location. The surgeon places the implants into the drilled holes.

SurgiGuides turn planning into reality

Prior to the surgery a treatment plan of the operation needs to be made. High precision is obtained by using SimPlant surgical implant planning software. This software converts CT scan data of the jaw into a three-dimensional image. For the surgeon it is possible to travel virtually through the bone in search of the best and most secure location for the proposed implants. The SurgiGuide is manufactured in such a way that it perfectly matches the treatment plan, turning it into reality.
