A surgical guide is a piece of plastic that is placed in your mouth during surgery to guide the surgeon. This allows your dentist to place the dental implant in the proper position and angulation with high precision and a high margin of safety.
When there is insufficient healthy bone or gum to support the dental implant, bone and gum grafts are required. The cost is determined by the amount of bone graft and gum graft required. However, in some cases, bone and gum grafting is not required at all!
Sinus lifting is a bone-grafting procedure that increases the amount of healthy bone available for implant placement in the upper jaw’s back.
Prosthetic and lab components are custom-made or prefabricated in the dental lab. They are essential for fabricating a high-quality dental crown that fits precisely into the dental implant.
