Pilot Surgical Guide

Used with the initial drill only to ensure the accurate position and orientation of the implant. The rest of the placement procedure is completed freehand.

​

Tooth Supported Surgical Guide

Usually fabricated for single implant placement or partially edentulous patients. Easily reproducible landmarks (i.e. teeth) are used for retention and support.

​

Bone Supported Surgical Guide

Used for edentulous patients, this type of guide gains its support from the load-bearing areas along the alveolar ridge.

​

Tissue Supported Surgical Guide

Gaining its main support and retention from the sot tissues (i.e. mucosa), the tissue-supported guides are commonly fabricated based on an existing removable prosthesis.
