Plan the Final Tooth First

Digital implant planning brings together 3D imaging, digital scanning and treatment planning to help your dentist assess where an implant may be placed and how the final restoration may fit within your smile and bite.

At West Perth Dental Centre, this approach can be used to plan selected implant cases with greater detail before treatment begins.

What Is Digital Implant Planning?

Digital implant planning uses detailed scans and 3D imaging to help your dentist study the teeth, bone and surrounding structures before implant treatment.

Where appropriate, the proposed final tooth can be considered first, helping guide the position and design of the implant treatment around the planned restoration.

A surgical guide may also be created for selected cases to support the planned implant position during treatment.

Planned Around Your Individual Case

Digital planning allows several pieces of information to be reviewed together before implant treatment begins.
  • 3D Imaging
    Helps your dentist assess the jawbone and surrounding structures.

  • Digital Scanning
    Creates a detailed digital record of your teeth and bite.

  • Restorative Planning
    The proposed final tooth can be considered when planning the implant position.

  • Surgical Guides
    For selected cases, a custom guide may be created to support the planned treatment approach.

Digital planning does not remove the risks associated with implant treatment, and it does not guarantee a particular outcome. Your dentist will explain the benefits, limitations and alternatives relevant to your situation.
