Fully guided dental implant surgery is MORE ACCURATE than freehand

If you're a dentist who's still placing implants freehand (or if you're new to dental implants), this video is for you. We've heard for years that we need to "see the bone." We've heard that guides aren't better. And it's all B.S. Today, we're showing you an experiment that demonstrates exactly WHY fully guided dental implant systems produce more accurate, precise results than freehand placement–regardless of the doctor's skill or experience level.

There are several factors at play here–constraining something inherently gives it more consistency, bone in the mouth isn't homogenous, drill flutes aren't designed to cut sideways–but ultimately, we'll just show you the data and let you decide for yourself.

If you're new to dental implants, this might be the single most important decision you make in your implant career. Deciding to place implants fully guided will not only yield more accurate implant placements, but it will lead to fewer complications and better functional and aesthetic outcomes for your patients.

I can't stress this enough: use a guide!
