Whether it’s for single-unit implants or a full-arch reconstruction, Glidewell’s Digital Treatment Planning (DTP) option is an all-encompassing service designed to make implant surgery safe, predictable and efficient. With a prosthetically driven approach informed by Glidewell’s 50+ years of restorative experience, the DTP team is able to combine 3D-treatment-planning with data from over two million restorations to deliver maximum precision — from surgical guide fabrication, to osteotomy, and to seating of a predictable, esthetic final restoration. The surgical guides produced by Glidewell enable safe, precise implant positioning using less chair time. They can help dentists provide implant treatment to more patients while reducing costs for their practice.

• Restorative-driven treatment planning
• Minimized surgical trauma
• Implant positioning that is a safe distance from vital anatomical structures
• Increased patient comfort
• Custom healing abutments or provisional screw-retained crown for immediate loading for most major implant systems
• Single-source implant solutions provider, from surgical guide, to immediate provisional to final restoration
• Optimal spacing from adjacent teeth and the buccal and lingual plates
• Reduced chair time for implant surgery

Glidewell DTP understands that failing to place implants in the optimal position can complicate the restorative phase of treatment and make it difficult to achieve the esthetic results patients expect when they invest in implant treatment. Keeping this in mind, Glidewell makes it easy for clinicians to get treatment plans that establish the foundation needed for an optimal prosthetic outcome, with special attention given to the desired method of crown retention, as well as the function, occlusion, emergence profile and esthetics of the planned restoration.

Surgical guides help doctors efficiently place implants, avoid surprises during surgery, and establish the foundation for easy-to-deliver restorations that save chair time and expenses along the way. No matter how complex the case, Glidewell DTP can provide a guide to remove the guesswork from any procedure. This includes multi-level surgical guides to aid with difficult full-arch reconstructions. The stackable componentry can guide doctors through bone reduction, osteotomy, implant placement, and delivery of an immediate fixed screw-retained provisional in one efficient visit.
