GuidedSMILE Natural

What is GuidedSMILE Natural?

There is a philosophy of minimal bone reduction surging in full-arch dentistry. Most full-arch, immediate-load, cases completed today do not follow this philosophy. They involve leveling the bone to a flat surface and meeting that surface with a prosthetic, often with what is considered excessive alveoloplasty. There is an alternative and it is a part of the GuidedSMILE family of products – GuidedSMILE Natural.

GuidedSMILE Natural follows the same beginning as standard CHROME GuidedSMILE cases – Pin Guide, Fixation Base, and Osteotomy Guide. Then, a special scalloped guide aids with the visualization and contouring of the alveoli’s reduction to create socketing for the tissue and prosthetic. This is technique sensitive and we like to send one of our experienced technicians chairside for guidance for at least your first case.

The prosthetic is delivered during surgery and then converted in several months using a duplicate RAPID Appliance that was picked up during surgery.
