At The Pines Dental Office, we pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge of dental innovation, providing our patients with the most advanced solutions for implant rehabilitation. One of the most transformative technologies we’ve adopted is computer/CT-guided implant placement, a groundbreaking approach that has redefined the way dental implants are performed. This precise, minimally invasive technique delivers optimal results, faster recovery times, and a more comfortable experience for our patients.
What is Computer/CT-Guided Implant Placement?
Computer/CT-guided implant placement is a state-of-the-art method that combines 3D imaging with advanced software to plan and execute dental implant procedures with unparalleled accuracy. Using a CT scan of your jawbone, our dental team creates a detailed digital model of your mouth. This allows us to meticulously plan the exact placement of your implant, ensuring optimal positioning for long-term success.
This innovative technology eliminates the need for invasive procedures and significantly reduces recovery time, making it a game-changer for patients seeking a comfortable and efficient implant experience. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or require full-mouth rehabilitation, this method ensures your implants are placed with precision and tailored to your unique anatomy.
Step-by-Step: The CT-Guided Implant Procedure
Here’s what you can expect during a CT-guided implant placement:
- Consultation: Dr. Pampena evaluates your oral health and discusses your goals.
- CBCT Scan: A 3D image of your jaw is captured to create a digital model.
- 3D Planning: Using specialized software, Dr. Pampena plans the implant placement.
- Surgical Guide Creation: A custom guide is fabricated to ensure precision during surgery.
- Implant Placement: The procedure is performed using the guide, often with flapless surgery.
- Recovery: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and a quick healing process.
Benefits of CT-Guided Implant Placement
For Patients:
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions mean less discomfort and faster healing. Most patients recover within a few days to a week.
- Faster Recovery: Reduced trauma to the tissue speeds up the recovery process.
- Better Outcomes: Precise placement leads to long-lasting, natural-looking results.
For Dentists:

- Predictability: Potential challenges are identified and addressed before surgery.
- Reduced Complications: Lower risk of errors and post-operative issues.
The Future of Implant Rehabilitation
The future of implant dentistry is bright, with emerging trends like AI integration, robotics, and advanced biomaterials set to take CT-guided implant placement to the next level. By year end, these innovations will make implant rehabilitation even more precise, efficient, and accessible.
This means shorter procedures, faster recoveries, and even better results for patients. For dentists, it means enhanced tools and techniques to deliver exceptional care.
