Dental implants have gained popularity as the best option to replace missing teeth. While more patients resort to implant therapy, the technologies used to effectively place them have advanced significantly.
X-Nav technologies created the X-Guide, a patented, revolutionary technology that streamlines the dental implant treatment process for the surgeon and patient. The X-Guide integrates with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to ensure that the implant placement is as accurate as possible.
Dental implants placed with X-Guide technology provide several benefits for patients. This article will highlight how X-Guide has improved dental implant surgery to provide outstanding results for our patients.
How X-Guide From X-Nav Improves Dental Implant Surgery
Accuracy
Placing dental implants requires a high degree of accuracy, especially if an implant is being placed in the smile zone. With X-Guide’s new X-Mark navigation, surgeons receive guidance on the depth, angle, and position of the implant within a fraction of a millimeter. Although CBCT allows surgeons to plan the exact site of implant placement, X-Mark allows them to replicate the exact measurements while performing the surgery.
Time Efficiency
Traditional guided implant surgery involves more laboratory time than the X-Guide. Guided implant surgery would previously require a surgical guide to be created using 3D printing. Making these surgical guides involves taking impressions of the patient’s teeth, adding more chair time to the process. With the X-Guide, patients can receive a more immediate implant without needing to have mouth impressions or a second visit for surgical guide creation.
The innovative X-Guide technology leaves no margin for error. Dental Implant Solutionz is one of the few surgical centers that provide the X-Guide navigated dental implant surgery to produce the best results for our patients.
