Surgical guide design services
A surgical guide ties the prosthetic plan to the bone: the CBCT and the intraoral scan are merged, implants are placed where the final restoration needs them, and a guide is designed to hold the drill on that path.
The designers listed below plan implant positions and design tooth-supported, tissue-supported and bone-supported guides. The plan is shared with you for approval before the guide file is finalised.

Questions
Who approves the implant positions?
You do. The designer shares the plan, and the clinician treating the patient approves it before the guide is finalised.
Which planning software is used?
Designers list their software on each listing. Common choices are exoplan, 3Shape Implant Studio, coDiagnostiX and Blue Sky Plan.
How do I send a CBCT safely?
Export the DICOM without patient details where your software allows it. AllonLab screens uploaded files for patient identifiers before a designer can open them.
