Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            1. Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              1.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        1. Partially Edentulous Case- This guide is ideal for patients missing one or two teeth, a scenario that accounts for 75% of the guided cases at Implant Concierge. Its design ensures an intimate and secure fit that provides accurate placement for these “onesie” and “twosie” cases.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          1. Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            1.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Partially Edentulous Case- This guide is ideal for patients missing one or two teeth, a scenario that accounts for 75% of the guided cases at Implant Concierge. Its design ensures an intimate and secure fit that provides accurate placement for these “onesie” and “twosie” cases.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Partially Edentulous Case- This guide is ideal for patients missing one or two teeth, a scenario that accounts for 75% of the guided cases at Implant Concierge. Its design ensures an intimate and secure fit that provides accurate placement for these “onesie” and “twosie” cases.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              1. Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment.

Partially Edentulous Case- This guide is ideal for patients missing one or two teeth, a scenario that accounts for 75% of the guided cases at Implant Concierge. Its design ensures an intimate and secure fit that provides accurate placement for these “onesie” and “twosie” cases.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                1. Partially Edentulous Case- This guide is ideal for patients missing one or two teeth, a scenario that accounts for 75% of the guided cases at Implant Concierge. Its design ensures an intimate and secure fit that provides accurate placement for these “onesie” and “twosie” cases.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  1. Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.

Terminally Dentate Patients- The benefits of a tooth borne guide are most noticeable in terminally dentate scenarios. The guide is effective, provided that supra-structures or teeth are present to support the guide during implant surgery, allowing extremely complex and multi-staged procedures to be simplified into a single appointment. This ensures adequate anchorage and reduces the risk of movement.
