Implantology in Essen
3D implant planning involves analyzing three-dimensional X-ray images for computer-aided treatment planning. This allows anatomical structures, the planned implant position, and the subsequent restoration to be viewed together prior to the procedure.

Considering the implant and the future restoration together
The scan provides spatial information
Three-dimensional X-ray images of the jaw are created for planning purposes. Depending on the planned procedure, custom-made guides can be used to visualize reference points for the subsequent implantation.
The data can provide information regarding the location of nerve canals, maxillary sinuses, teeth, and tooth roots, as well as the bone structure in the intended implant site.
Computer-based planning
The planned procedure can be visualized spatially on a computer beforehand. Factors such as the implant’s position, drilling depth, and angle, as well as the intended implant restoration, can be incorporated into the plan.
The specific information required for your case and how it influences the treatment will be discussed following the examination and diagnosis.
Part of the overall implant planning process
3D planning is linked to 3D X-ray diagnostics and the planning of the final tooth restoration. Information on the overall process can be found on the Dental Implants page.
Frequently asked questions about 3D implant planning.
Are 3D X-rays and 3D implant planning the same thing?
The three-dimensional scan provides the image data. During implant planning, this data is analyzed to determine the intended position and the subsequent restoration.
What is considered during planning?
This can include anatomical structures in the jaw, bone conditions, the position, depth, and angle of the implant, as well as the subsequent restoration.
