Successful dental implants start with careful planning. In this article, we cover the top 5 implant planning mistakes and how to avoid them. Even skilled dentists can face problems that affect long-term results if they skip important steps. At SGT Guides (A Styledent Brand), our radiology and guide design team spots common mistakes and prevents them before surgery.
1. Place Implants Safely Around Critical Areas
Dentists risk hitting nerves, sinuses, or other vital structures if they misjudge implant angles. With guided implant surgery, SGT Guides shows you critical anatomy in 3D, so you can plan the perfect angle before surgery.
2. Ensure Enough Space for the Restoration
Too little space for the restoration can lead to poor fit or function. We plan implants with the final restoration in mind, so your crowns, bridges, and arches fit perfectly and look natural.
3. Merge CBCT and Intraoral Scans Accurately
Incorrectly merged scans lead to misaligned guides and misplaced implants. At SGT Guides, we combine CBCT and intraoral or photogrammetry scans into a precise 3D model, giving you a reliable guide for surgery.
4. Check Bone Quality and Quantity
Bone quality and volume affect implant stability. We evaluate bone before surgery and suggest adjustments if needed, so you can place implants smoothly and achieve lasting results.
5. Plan Around the Final Restoration
Implants must support both function and esthetics. SGT Guides focuses on prosthetically driven planning, positioning implants for predictable, long-lasting restorations that satisfy patients.
