Service de Conception CAO de Guides Chirurgicaux

Surgical guide CAD design demands precision that leaves no room for error near nerves and adjacent roots. We merge your CBCT and intraoral scan to design tooth-, bone- or mucosa-supported guides with correct sleeve offset and stability, so the implant lands exactly where the plan says it should.

Why labs and clinics outsource surgical guide design

A guide that fits loosely or seats along the wrong path defeats the purpose of guided surgery entirely — the whole point is removing guesswork from implant placement, and a poorly designed guide reintroduces it. Surgical guide CAD design outsourcing puts that responsibility with a team that designs guides daily across every major guided-surgery sleeve system, rather than occasionally alongside a full restorative caseload.

We design to the sleeve specifications of the major guided-surgery kits from Nobel Biocare and other leading systems — tell us the system in your submission and we match the offset accordingly, from single-tooth guides through full-arch multi-implant guides for All-on-X cases.

What's included in every surgical guide CAD design case

Every case returns a ready-to-print surgical guide STL, a sleeve position and offset specification, and an implant plan report. Send us your finalized implant plan, or request guided planning support from our designers based on your CBCT and restorative goals — both paths are part of the standard service.

Window and inspection port placement is planned into every guide so you can verify seating during surgery without removing the guide to check, and bone- or mucosa-supported designs both account for the specific support type your case calls for.

Quality control and turnaround

Sleeve offset per guided-surgery system, guide stability and seating path, clearance from the nerve canal and adjacent roots, and window and inspection port placement are all verified before a guide file is marked ready. Turnaround runs 15 to 24 hours depending on the number of implant sites and guide support type.

Revisions stay within the original implant plan scope and are unlimited — a surgical guide is not a case where reasonable adjustment requests should be counted against you.

Getting started

Surgical guide design pairs naturally with our implant CAD design service for the restorative side of the same case, and with full-arch CAD design for guided All-on-X planning. For everything else we design, see the full services overview.

Most clinics and labs send a single trial case first to check sleeve accuracy and turnaround against their own standard before routing regular surgical guide volume through the portal — the review process stays identical whether you send one guide a month or several a week.

Surgical guide CAD design outsourcing also gives labs a way to support clinics that do not plan implant positions themselves. If a referring clinic can supply the CBCT and restorative goals but wants planning support, that request is routed the same way as a case with a fully finalized implant plan, so the workflow accommodates both without a separate process.

Send your CBCT DICOM and intraoral scan through the client portal along with your guided-surgery system, and a technician who designs surgical guides daily will have a plan back for your review within the standard window.

That same trial-case approach works whether your practice places implants weekly or only takes on the occasional guided case, since the sleeve and offset verification happens identically regardless of how often surgical guides come through your workflow.

Reach out through the portal if you are unsure which guided-surgery kit your practice uses — our team can confirm the sleeve specification before design work begins, so there is no mismatch discovered at the surgical appointment.

That confirmation step takes minutes and prevents a costly delay later.
