When it comes to dental implants, precision makes all the difference. At Dentistry @ Perth, we use the latest guided implant surgery technology — combining in-house CBCT 3D imaging with computer-designed surgical guides — to place every implant with exceptional accuracy. For patients across Lanark County seeking guided implant surgery in Perth, Ontario, this means a safer procedure, less discomfort, and a faster, more predictable recovery. We are proud to be one of the very few dental practices in Lanark County offering this level of advanced implant care — no referrals, no travel, right here in Perth.
Guided implant surgery is a modern approach that uses digital 3D imaging and computer planning to map out exactly where each implant will be placed before we ever begin the procedure. A custom surgical guide is then fabricated and used during the surgery to ensure the implant is inserted at the precise angle, depth, and position planned. This is a significant step forward from traditional implant placement, which relied on 2D X-rays and estimation alone. With guided surgery, every step is planned and controlled — before the appointment even begins.
Step 1 — CBCT 3D Scan
Your journey begins with a CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan taken right here in our Perth, Ontario office. This produces a detailed, three-dimensional image of your jaw, bone density, nerve pathways, and surrounding teeth — all in a matter of minutes.
Step 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Using specialized implant planning software, our doctor studies your 3D scan and maps out the ideal position for your implant. Every millimetre matters — we assess bone volume, proximity to nerves, and the angle needed for long-term stability before making any decisions.
Step 3 — Custom Surgical Guide
Based on the digital plan, a precision surgical guide is created. This guide fits over your teeth and jaw during the procedure and directs our instruments to the exact location. Think of it as a GPS system for your implant placement.
Step 4 — Precise Placement
During your procedure, the surgical guide ensures your implant is placed exactly as planned. This level of accuracy minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue, makes the procedure faster, and results in more predictable healing.
Step 5 — Healing and Restoration
After placement, the implant integrates with your jawbone over the next 4–6 months. Once healing is complete, your custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached — providing a natural- looking, fully functional result that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Most patients who are candidates for dental implants are excellent candidates for guided implant surgery. During your free consultation at our Perth clinic, our doctor will review your CBCT scan and medical history to confirm the right approach for you. We assess:
Even patients who have been told they may not have enough bone may still be candidates — our 3D imaging often reveals options that traditional 2D X-rays simply cannot show. In some cases, a bone graft may be recommended to prepare the site before implant placement.
The cost of guided implant surgery in Perth, Ontario varies depending on how many implants are needed, whether any preparatory treatment is required, and the type of restoration chosen. We provide a full, transparent cost breakdown at your free consultation — no surprises.

Traditional implants are planned using 2D X-rays and placed based on the surgeon's experience. Guided surgery uses a detailed 3D scan and a physical surgical guide for computer-precision placement — resulting in less room for error, a faster procedure, and better healing outcomes.
There may be a modest difference in cost compared to traditional implant placement. However, the improved accuracy, reduced healing time, and lower risk of complications make guided implant surgery excellent value for most patients. We will provide a full cost breakdown at your consultation.
Thanks to the precision of the surgical guide, procedures are often faster than traditional implant surgery. Single implant placements typically take under an hour. Your doctor will give you a personalized estimate at your consultation.
Most patients experience mild soreness and some swelling for a few days after placement. Because guided surgery is minimally invasive, many patients find recovery more comfortable than they anticipated. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually all that is needed.
This is more common than many people realize. A CBCT scan gives us a precise picture of your bone volume. If bone density is insufficient, we may recommend a bone graft prior to implant placement. Our team will walk you through all options at your consultation.
