Dental implants have become one of the most reliable and effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. At Clínica Dental SOIVIP in Marbella, we use guided implant surgery to make treatment more precise, safer and more comfortable for our patients.
What Is Guided Implant Surgery?
Guided implant surgery is a modern technique that uses three-dimensional digital planning to determine the ideal position of each dental implant before the procedure begins.
First, a three-dimensional scan of the patient’s jaw is taken. This scan allows us to evaluate the bone structure, the position of the nerves and other important anatomical structures. The future teeth are also considered during the planning process, ensuring that the implants are placed in the best possible position for both function and appearance.
Based on this digital plan, a personalised surgical guide is produced. During the procedure, this guide helps the dentist place each implant at the previously calculated angle, depth and position.
Greater Precision and Safety
One of the main advantages of guided surgery is its exceptional precision. Because the complete procedure is planned digitally in advance, the position of the implants can be determined with great accuracy.
This is particularly important when implants must be placed close to sensitive anatomical structures, such as nerves or the maxillary sinus. Careful three-dimensional planning helps reduce risks and makes the treatment more predictable.
A Minimally Invasive Procedure
In many cases, guided implant surgery allows us to place implants without making large incisions in the gums. Instead, the implant can often be inserted through a very small opening.
This minimally invasive technique causes less trauma to the gum tissue. As a result, patients usually experience less swelling, less discomfort and a faster recovery than with conventional implant surgery.
In suitable cases, stitches may not be necessary.
A More Comfortable Recovery
Because guided surgery is generally less invasive, the postoperative period is often easier and more comfortable for the patient.
Many patients can return to their normal daily activities quickly. However, every patient and every clinical situation is different. A detailed examination is therefore essential before deciding whether guided implant surgery is the appropriate treatment.
Natural Function and Appearance
The objective of implant treatment is not only to replace missing teeth. The new teeth should also feel comfortable, function properly and look natural.
Digital planning allows us to consider the final position and appearance of the future teeth before placing the implants. This prosthetically driven approach helps us achieve a harmonious and functional result.
Depending on the individual case, dental implants can be used to replace:
• A single missing tooth
• Several missing teeth
• A complete dental arch
• Unstable removable dentures
Immediate Teeth in Selected Cases
In certain cases, temporary fixed teeth can be placed shortly after implant surgery. This technique is known as immediate loading.
Whether immediate fixed teeth are possible depends on several factors, including bone quality, implant stability and the patient’s general health. After a careful evaluation, we can determine the safest and most appropriate solution.
Extensive Experience in Dental Implantology
Dr. Jehuda Jakubowicz has worked in implant dentistry since 1988 and has placed more than 20,000 dental implants.
For the past several years, he has performed implant treatments almost exclusively with guided surgery. This combination of extensive surgical experience and modern digital technology allows Clínica Dental SOIVIP to offer highly personalised implant treatment.
Who Can Benefit from Guided Implant Surgery?
Guided implant surgery may be suitable for many patients who have lost one or more teeth. It can also be particularly useful in complex situations or when several implants must be placed during the same procedure.
Before treatment, we perform a complete clinical and radiological examination. We also review the patient’s medical history, oral health and individual expectations.
Patients with diabetes, reduced bone volume or other medical conditions may also be candidates for implant treatment, but they require careful individual assessment and planning.
