Types Of Surgical Guides-Which One Is The Best Option?
Surgical guides are essential tools for performing dental implant surgeries. They help to ensure the accurate placement of dental implants, reducing the risk of complications and improving patient outcomes. There are several types of surgical guides available for dental implant surgeries, each with its own unique features and benefits.
Temporary Surgical Guides-Temporary surgical guides are the most basic type of surgical guides. They are used to assist in the placement of dental implants and are made using acrylic or resin materials. They are a cost-effective option for dentists and can be quickly manufactured, but they are not as precise as other types of surgical guides.
Custom-Made Surgical Guides- Custom-made surgical guides are designed specifically for each patient and are based on a digital scan of the patient’s jaw. They are made using 3D printing technology and provide dentists with precise and accurate information regarding the placement of the dental implant. Custom-made surgical guides offer the greatest level of precision and accuracy, making them the preferred option for many dentists.
Pre-Fabricated Surgical Guides- Pre-fabricated surgical guides are a more affordable option compared to custom-made surgical guides. They come in a range of sizes and shapes and can be adjusted to fit the patient’s specific needs. While they are not as precise as custom-made surgical guides, they still offer a high level of accuracy and can be a cost-effective solution for dentists.
At SGT Guides, we believe that custom-made surgical guides are the best and only solution for dental implant placement. By designing each surgical guide specifically for each patient, based on a digital scan of their jaw, we are able to ensure a level of precision and accuracy that is simply not possible with pre-fabricated or temporary surgical guides. Custom-made surgical guides provide dentists with a roadmap for the placement of the implant that is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy, reducing the risk of complications and improving patient outcomes. Furthermore, the use of custom-made surgical guides allows us to maintain control over the quality of the final product, ensuring that our clients receive the highest level of care and support every step of the way. With a commitment to excellence and a focus on precision, we are proud to use custom-made surgical guides as the only solution for dental implant placement at our laboratory.
