Changing the implant workflow

Roughly 3 million people in the United States have implants, and that number is expected to grow by 500,000 each year, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Many of those implants will be placed successfully thanks to surgical guides and digital treatment planning software.

By utilizing this new technology, more dentists can plan cases virtually before ever touching a patient. This helps to not only visualize the final outcome but also to overcome any obstacles that may present themselves along the way.
