3D Implant Planning and Surgical Guides

At C-Dental X-Ray, we continue to innovate to support a wide array of third party software. NewTom data is 3.0 DICOM compatible, which is now the industry standard. 3.0 DICOM data is compatible with all third party volumetric software. In response to the explosion of implant surgical guide market, we are now supporting all the most popular systems. the radiographic guide is the critical first step to most 3D planning systems. If you will not manufacture the radiographic guide yourself, you may use your regular dental prosthetic lab. Here are the labs we have worked with in the past. They are familiar with the radiographic guide protocols.
