Straumann explains how the Smile in a Box implant system can improve treatment acceptance through thorough treatment planning and predictable results.
The prospect of undergoing dental implant treatment can be daunting for some people. This feeling of fear and uncertainty about the procedure can discourage some patients, even though it offers many benefits. Because of this, it is useful to implement workflows that support predictable outcomes and improve patient experiences.
The use of updated technology can be helpful as it allows clinicians to provide patients with a clear treatment plan. In some cases, outsourcing aspects of the design and construction process can create a seamless experience.
Overcoming obstacles
Increase confidence in guided implant placement with predictable workflow and guided surgery. Smile in a Box from Straumann allows you to access an improved digital workflow without investing in additional hardware or software. This means you can offer patients the benefits of a well-established Straumann digital ecosystem. All while focusing on patient care and growing your business.
Smile in a Box enables clinicians to reduce chair time. This makes treatment more comfortable for their patients by facilitating straightforward protocols. In addition, treatment is more predictable. Treatment plans and surgical guides are ready. You will have everything you need to provide high standards of treatment to all your patients.
A modular solution
As mentioned, Smile in a Box allows clinicians to outsource certain aspects of the guided implant design and manufacturing process. This allows you to streamline your workflows and produce high-quality results. It is ideal for those who are expanding their practice, want to increase scale and integrate more digital solutions. But how does it work?
First, clinicians must perform an assessment and submit their case. To do this, submit the patient’s CBCT scan to the Smile in a Box team. Along with STL files of the patient’s maxilla and mandible and their bite record. In some cases, it may also be helpful to provide the team with patient photos.
From here, clinicians can choose which steps to bring in-house and which to outsource to Smile in a Box. This depends on the practice possibilities. If you choose to outsource, treatment planning will be done by the team, based on the case information. You can then review and approve the plan before moving on to the next steps during a live web session.
Adjustment
The team can then customize the digital drawings of your surgical guide and temporary restoration according to the agreed upon treatment plan. Once approved by you, they will begin the construction of these unique folds. This uses Straumann precision engineering to ensure accuracy and reliability. The team will also ensure that all necessary components are ordered and carefully packed into a single box in plenty of time for treatment.
Finally, everything they need will be conveniently delivered and clinicians will be able to provide their patients with high-quality guided surgery with immediate placement of temporary restorations. By using the Smile in a Box workflow, you and your patients have peace of mind that everything you need is available to you on the day.
This will allow you to provide the highest quality treatment without having to invest heavily in additional equipment, particularly useful for smaller practices or those expanding into guided implant therapy.
