Case suitability
Implant treatment is considered only after the patient’s periodontal stability, medical history, smoking status, oral hygiene, bone volume and restorative goals have been reviewed.
CBCT assessment
Three-dimensional CBCT imaging is used to assess bone height, width and anatomy, including nearby structures such as the sinus, nasal floor and inferior dental nerve where relevant.
Digital implant planning
The CBCT scan is used alongside clinical records and restorative aims to plan implant position in relation to bone, soft tissue and the final crown, bridge or denture.
Bone and grafting needs
CBCT assessment helps identify whether ridge preservation, guided bone regeneration, sinus lift or staged bone grafting may be required before or during implant placement.
Periodontal stability
Where periodontitis is present, implant treatment is planned only after disease control and maintenance planning have been considered, reducing biological risk around teeth and implants.
Restorative handover
For referred patients, the surgical phase can be coordinated with the referring clinician, including healing abutments, implant details and restorative information for the final restoration.
