A bone-supported surgical guide is a custom implant guide that rests directly on the jawbone after the gum tissue is reflected. It is used to achieve highly accurate implant placement in complex cases.
They are typically used in full-arch implant cases, severe bone loss situations, or complex anatomical conditions where maximum precision is required.
Yes. Bone-supported guides offer excellent accuracy and stability because they are positioned directly on the bone, minimizing movement during implant placement.
Bone-supported guided surgery may require a slightly longer procedure due to flap elevation, but it improves precision and reduces the risk of implant misplacement.
No. This type of guide is recommended for specific complex cases only. Your dentist will assess bone condition, treatment needs, and overall oral health before choosing this option.
