SILOADED – Full Arch Fully Guided – Southern Implants

SILoaded is a full arch fully guided service. The process is more complex than a single or a couple of teeth, and this page will describe the process and timeframe of planning and producing the guides for your full arch surgery with both dentate and edentulous patients.

STEP 1:

Collecting and uploading patient records. We need extensive patient records, including photographs, models or stl files, DICOM files, bite registration, etc. Once everything is received, we can proceed to the planning stage. Please click here for the patient records we need to plan your case.

For fully edentulous patients, we need CT or CBTC scans taken using the dual scan protocol – click here to view the guidelines for a successful dual scan.

STEP 2:

We will invite you to attend a meeting with our planners. After the plan is approved, guide manufacture can start.

STEP 3:

After manufacture, guides, implants and components will be shipped to you. The expected timeframe for completion of the process is a minimum of 20 business days, provided that the patient records are of good quality and usable. It is crucial to send complete files of good quality. We recommend that surgery is only scheduled after the planning meeting.
