Stackable Guide

A stackable guide is a system of modular, multi-component surgical guides used in implant dentistry for complex full-arch restorations. Rather than using a single-piece guide, the dentist “stacks” or layers different components during the surgery to perform sequential procedures, such as bone reduction, implant placement, and provisional prosthesis delivery.

Quick Answers for Confident Smiles.

What is a stackable guide?

A stackable guide is an advanced implant surgical guide system made of multiple guides that fit together in stages. Each guide is used for a specific step of implant surgery to ensure high precision.

Why is a stackable guide used in implant surgery?

Stackable guides allow dentists to perform implant placement step by step with extreme accuracy, controlling depth, angle, and position. This improves safety and long-term implant success.

Is stackable guided surgery more accurate than single guides?

Yes. Stackable guides offer greater stability and control, especially in complex or full-arch implant cases, reducing the risk of implant misalignment.

Does using a stackable guide reduce surgery discomfort?

In many cases, yes. Guided surgery with stackable guides is often less invasive, which can result in reduced surgical time, minimal trauma, and faster healing.

Who is suitable for stackable guide implant surgery?

Stackable guides are commonly used for complex implant cases, multiple implants, or full-mouth restorations. Your dentist will determine if this approach is suitable for your treatment plan.
