Differentiating Your Practice
How does guided surgery differentiate your practice?
- Patients feel confident knowing that the surgeon has complete knowledge of all anatomy presurgically
- Patients value preoperative planning versus intraoperative planning – appreciate and value high technology
- Patients can sense the trial and error process which often accompanies free hand drilling
- Patients also can sense the surgeon’s confidence when using a drill guide
- Patients who have experienced free hand implant placement are thankful after experiencing guided surgery
- The consistent accuracy attained by guided surgery far exceeds that obtained by free hand placement
