Dental implants are today’s most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth. Traditionally, implants have been placed using the freehand method, where the surgeon determines the position, depth, and angle based on their experience and tactile feel. While this technique can be highly successful, its outcome heavily depends on the skill and experience of the individual dentist.

With the advancement of technology, new digitally guided approaches have emerged, significantly increasing safety, precision, and predictability. Among them, dynamically guided implantology stands out — performed using the X-Guide system.

 

Implant Placement with the X-Guide System (Dynamic Navigation)

  • Initial Consultation with the DoctorEverything begins with a consultation, where the patient and doctor define expectations, wishes, and possibilities together. Every smile is unique, and the treatment plan must be tailored individually.
  • CBCT Diagnostics – A Digital 3D View of the JawFollowing the consultation, a CBCT scan is taken — a modern 3D diagnostic method that precisely visualizes bone structure, density, and shape. Based on this scan, the doctor can accurately determine where implants can be placed and where bone may be lacking.
  • Digital Planning Using Implant SoftwareThe CBCT data is uploaded into specialized implant planning software. Every detail is meticulously planned — the position, depth, and angle of each implant. A simulation of the future teeth is often created simultaneously to serve as a guide for achieving optimal aesthetic and functional results.
  • Transferring the Plan to the Navigation SystemOnce the plan is finalized, it is transferred to a computer that manages the dynamic navigation. The system is connected to the surgical instruments and guides the surgeon’s hand in real time during the procedure.Thanks to this precise technology, the procedure becomes safer, less invasive, and more psychologically comfortable for the patient.

Benefits for Patients:

  • Higher Precision and Safety – Implants are placed with millimeter-level accuracy, continuously monitored by the software.
  • Minimally Invasive – In many cases, implants can be placed without incisions or sutures, resulting in less pain, minimal swelling, and faster recovery using only local anesthesia.
  • Fewer Visits, Faster Results – In certain cases, temporary teeth can be placed within just one hour, allowing the patient to leave the clinic with a new smile the same day.
  • Original All-on-4 in Just a Few Hours – For patients with complete tooth loss, four implants and a fixed bridge can be placed in just a few hours, with significantly fewer visits and much greater comfort.

 

A Digital Revolution in Dentistry

Dynamic navigation is part of a broader concept — digital implantology. This involves not only advanced devices and software but also a new way of thinking and working within the dental team. Digitization requires significant investment in equipment, but more importantly, it demands changes in communication, planning, and collaboration.

When all components — technology, planning, experience, and communication — are aligned, the result is:

  • A more precise and predictable procedure
  • Fewer errors and uncertainties
  • Greater patient satisfaction and safety

Expertise You Can Trust

The team at Dr. Jelušić Dental Clinic successfully implements dynamically guided implantology. This technology is applied in suitable cases, always in agreement with the patient and after a thorough analysis of their dental condition.

Dr. Damir Jelušić is a highly experienced and respected implantologist with over 25 years of experience in dental implantology. With his expertise and innovative approach, Dr. Jelušić had the honor of presenting his experience in dynamically guided implantology at the Global Symposium in Las Vegas this year, sharing knowledge with colleagues from around the world.

It is fair to say — dynamic navigation represents a true revolution in implantology. It is a transitional step toward robot-assisted implantology, which we can expect in the near future.
