When creating your dental implant surgical guide, we must gather detailed information of your mouth, jaw and teeth before preceding with the surgery. This information is gathered through intraoral scanners and cone beam CT scanners. Both these technologies capture detailed images of your mouth and bite in 3D. This allows us to examine your oral structures, including the volume of your jawbone, position of existing tooth roots and location of jaw nerves. We use this information to plan your treatment, including the location, angle and depth of where an implant post will need to be placed. Once the planning is complete, our CHROME laboratory partners will create a customized guide that is unique to your mouth. CHROME is one of the leaders in advanced dental implant surgical guide fabrication, which is proven to provide more successful and accurate results. Once the day of surgery arrives, Dr. Wilhelm will fit the CHROME dental guide onto your jaw and complete the surgery in the shortest time possible.
