TOKYO HIGH DENTAL CLINIC
Computer-guided 3D Implants
In brief
Computer-guided 3D implants use a navigation guide for precise placement with minimal incision.
Implant diagnosis uses a 3D high-resolution CT (VATECH), and the plan is made by Dr. Ahn Jin-gyu — a specialist in integrated dentistry with a Ph.D. in orthodontics — taking the remaining teeth and the bite into account.
The latest 3D digital technology using computers!
Rather than the conventional method of cutting the gum with a scalpel, a navigation guide is used
to drill only a small hole at the implant site for the surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does implant treatment take?
It depends on the condition of the bone, but generally the final prosthesis is fitted after a two to three month osseointegration period following placement.
Is implant surgery painful?
It is performed under local anesthesia, so there is almost no pain during surgery, though there may be slight discomfort afterwards.
How many years can an implant be used?
It depends on individual oral care, but generally it can be used for more than ten years. With good care it may last a lifetime.
