Guided surgery is the technique of computer aid for the placement of dental implants. It is a novel treatment that allows the dentist to simulate the operation before carrying it out. Professional scans the jaw of the individual, enters the data into the computer and get a three-dimensional image of the jaw that lets you play, virtually and with utmost precision, where to place the implant. In addition, the dentist can create a guide with information on the operation to drill the gum without having to open it, which will help you avoid any major damage and seize the bone structure available, without having to resort to grafting. The advantage is that the guided surgery is minimally invasive and reduces the operation time and recovery. Sometimes, it is even possible to design the prosthesis from the scan, so it can be placed in the same operation that implants.
