Guided implant surgery in Fethiye
Implants planned in 3D before surgery and placed with millimetre precision using a custom-made surgical guide. Digital planning by a specialist oral & maxillofacial surgeon means a shorter, more comfortable procedure.
Computer-guided 3D implant surgery in Fethiye at Europe Smile Center uses high-resolution CBCT scans and custom 3D-printed surgical guides. This digital workflow allows Dr. Ozan Akıncı to place implants with sub-millimeter precision through minimally invasive, flapless surgery, significantly reducing swelling, pain, and healing time.
Guided implant surgery is a modern technique in which the implant treatment is planned digitally before the operation and carried out with the help of a custom-made surgical guide. The position, angle and depth of the implant are decided in advance on 3D CBCT data; during the procedure, this plan is followed exactly using the surgical guide.
At Europe Smile Center, in suitable cases implant treatment is planned with this digital guided technique and performed by oral & maxillofacial surgery specialist Dr. Dt. Ozan Akıncı.
How does it work?
- A 3D CBCT scan and digital impression are taken.
- The ideal implant position is planned to the millimetre on the computer, taking the nerve, sinus and neighbouring structures into account.
- A custom-made surgical guide is prepared based on this plan.
- During the operation the implant is placed into the planned position with high accuracy thanks to the guide.
Advantages of guided implant surgery
- High accuracy: the implant is placed into the planned ideal position with millimetre precision
- Less trauma: in most cases smaller surgery, less swelling and faster healing
- Predictability: because the result is planned digitally in advance, the outcome is more predictable
- Safety: a safe distance from critical structures such as the nerve and sinus is determined beforehand
- Comfort: a shorter and more comfortable operation
Is the procedure painful?
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia – or general anaesthesia in suitable cases – and you will not feel pain. The guided technique makes the procedure shorter and more comfortable.
