Surgical Guides for Dental Implants
Digitally designed surgical guides for precise, prosthetically driven implant placement — from single implants to complex full-arch and All-on-X cases.
SURGICAL GUIDES EXPLAINED
What Is a Dental Implant Surgical Guide?
A dental implant surgical guide is a digitally designed device used to transfer a virtual implant plan to the surgical field. Using CBCT data and intraoral scans, the guide helps control implant position, angulation, and depth during guided implant surgery.For single implants, multiple implants, and full-arch cases, accurate guide design depends on coordinating anatomy, implant planning, restorative goals, and the selected guided surgery system. All-on-X Direct connects these elements into one digital workflow before the case moves into production.
All-on-X Direct supports clinicians by connecting digital implant planning, surgical guide design, and restorative considerations into one coordinated workflow.
CBCT + Scan Integration
Combine CBCT data with intraoral scans to evaluate anatomy and establish the digital foundation for guided implant placement.
Restorative-Driven Planning
Plan implant position around the intended restoration, prosthetic space, angulation, and final treatment goals.
Guide-Ready Workflow
Translate the approved implant plan into a surgical guide designed for the selected clinical workflow and implant system.
GUIDED IMPLANT PLACEMENT
From Digital Implant Plan to Surgical Placement
A surgical guide turns the approved digital implant plan into a precise clinical workflow. By combining CBCT data, intraoral scans, and restorative goals, we design guides that help transfer the planned implant position, angulation, and depth to the surgical field.
Each guide is designed around the specific case, implant system, and guided surgery protocol to support predictable placement from planning through surgery.
Implant Position & Angulation
Transfer the approved 3D implant position and trajectory from the digital plan to the surgical field.
Guided Depth Control
Support controlled osteotomy and implant depth based on the planned guided surgery protocol.
Restorative Coordination
Keep implant placement aligned with prosthetic space, emergence, and the intended final restoration.
GUIDE OPTIONS
Types of Dental Implant Surgical Guides
Surgical guide design depends on the patient’s anatomy, remaining dentition, surgical approach, and treatment plan. Different support and guide designs can be used to help transfer the approved implant plan accurately to the surgical field.
We evaluate the digital records and planned workflow to determine the appropriate guide design for each case.
Tooth-Supported Guides
Designed to seat on stable remaining teeth for guided implant placement in partially edentulous cases.
Bone-Supported Guides
Designed to seat on exposed bone in cases requiring direct bony support and surgical access.
Tissue-Supported Guides
Designed for selected fully edentulous cases where guide support is established primarily from the soft-tissue surface.
Stackable & Full-Arch Guides
Multi-step guided solutions for complex full-arch workflows, including implant placement and related surgical or provisional steps when indicated.
SURGICAL GUIDE WORKFLOW
Our Surgical Guide Workflow
A coordinated digital workflow from case submission and implant planning through clinician approval and surgical guide fabrication.
Submit Case Files
Send CBCT/DICOM files, intraoral scans, bite records, and relevant case details for review.
Digital Implant Planning
We merge your digital records and plan implant position, angulation, and depth around the restorative goals.
Clinician Review & Approval
Review the proposed implant plan and confirm implant positions before surgical guide design is finalized.
Surgical Guide Fabrication
After approval, the guide is finalized for the selected implant system and guided surgery workflow.

Case-Specific Guide Design
Each guide is designed around the patient’s anatomy, implant system, and selected guided surgery protocol.
Clinician-Approved Workflow
Review and approve implant position, angulation, and depth before the surgical guide is finalized.
Full-Arch Expertise
Support for complex full-arch and All-on-X workflows, including cases requiring advanced guided solutions.
CASE FILE REQUIREMENTS
Files We Need for Surgical Guide Design
Accurate surgical guide design starts with complete, high-quality digital records. Case requirements may vary based on the guide type, implant system, and clinical workflow.
CBCT / DICOM Files
Submit the patient’s current CBCT scan in DICOM format for evaluation of bone anatomy, implant positioning, and relevant anatomical structures.
Intraoral Scans
Provide accurate upper and lower arch scans, including the relevant teeth, soft tissue, and supporting anatomy required for guide design.
Bite & Clinical Records
Include the bite scan and relevant clinical photos or prosthetic records when needed to support restorative-driven planning.
Implant System & Guide Details
Specify the implant system, guided surgery kit, planned components, and any case-specific surgical or restorative requirements.
