3D Guided Dental Implants in Korea
What are 3D Guided Implants?
Our 3D Guided Implant procedure involves an advanced assessment of your oral condition using various diagnostic equipment such as a 3D CT scanner and intraoral scanner. We assess individual factors like jawbone structure, tooth positioning, and gum health to determine the optimal placement for the implant.
Our methodology involves systematic implant placement that minimizes the margin of error. We use a customized guide, created via oral modeling and computer-simulated surgery, to ensure precise results
