Implant planning
Surgical guides
Digitally planned, 3D-printed guides for predictable implant placement.
Best for: Predictable implant placement, planned from the CBCT and intraoral scan
We design and manufacture highly accurate surgical guides to support predictable and prosthetically driven implant placement. Our guides are digitally planned using advanced software and produced with high-precision 3D printing to ensure optimal fit and stability during surgery.
We offer sleeved guides, compatible with most major guided surgery kits, which control both depth and angulation, and sleeveless systems that give greater visibility and flexibility while staying precise. We merge the CBCT with the intraoral scan to assess the bone, the restorative space and the surrounding anatomy, and before production we send you a digital implant plan to review and approve.

What we need from you
STL file or digital intraoral scan
An STL of the patient's arch, taken with an intraoral scanner or scanned from a model. We accept files from all major intraoral scanning systems.
CBCT in DICOM format
Required for accurate implant planning. We merge it with the STL so we can evaluate the bone, the anatomical structures and the implant position together.
Implant system and components
The brand, diameter and length of the system you are placing, so the guide matches your surgical kit. Send these details to cadcam@mdentlab.com.
Prosthetic information
If you are placing for a specific restoration: the type (single crown, bridge or full arch), a diagnostic wax-up or digital setup if you have one, and the desired tooth position. This lets us plan the implant around the final restoration.
Clinical instructions
Your preferred implant angulation and depth, any immediate loading considerations, and any anatomical limitations or surgical notes.
