Digital Implant Planning
A Smarter Way to Place Implants
What Is Digital Implant Planning?
Digital implant planning uses 3D imaging and computer software to design your implant placement before surgery ever begins. Dr. De Oliveira can see your jawbone, nerves, and sinuses in three dimensions, identify the ideal position and angle for each implant, and rehearse the entire procedure virtually. That planning then translates into a physical surgical guide, so the surgery itself is faster, safer, and more precise.
The Technology
Precision at Every Step
CBCT 3D Imaging
A cone-beam scan captures your jaw in three dimensions—bone, nerves, and sinuses—revealing what a flat X-ray can't and making precise planning possible.
Digital Treatment Planning
Using your 3D scan, Dr. De Oliveira plans the exact position and angle of every implant virtually, before surgery begins.
3D-Printed Surgical Guides
Your plan becomes a custom guide, 3D-printed in our office, that directs each implant into its precise planned position during surgery.
The Process
From 3D Scan to Precise Placement
3D Scan
We capture a detailed CBCT scan of your mouth at your consultation—no messy impressions.
Virtual Planning
Dr. De Oliveira designs your implant placement digitally, mapping the ideal position and angle around nerves and bone.
Custom Surgical Guide
Your plan is 3D-printed into a precise surgical guide, made right here in our office.
Guided Placement
During surgery, the guide directs each implant into its exact planned position for optimal stability and support.
The Benefits
What Guided Planning Means for You
Greater Precision
Implants placed exactly as planned, for better stability and predictable results.
More Comfort
Guided, efficient surgery often means less time in the chair and an easier recovery.
