Precision planning is key across all aspects of Your Smile Choice
When you decide to go forward with us you will experience the precision necessary to ensure a life enhancing transformation.
Your dental implants must be placed in a precise way – where they are positioned; at what angle; and how deep into the jawbone they go, are vitally important. Many companies/doctors use the old-fashioned, free-hand surgical approach to this type of advanced surgery.
Your Smile Choice uses the advanced, modern modern guided surgery protocols to create a minimally-invasive procedure to deliver the most risk averse, dental implant process available in the world.

Can I see my NEW smile before surgery?
Your Smile Choice™
See the smile that you deserve. You will be presented a smile simulation, allowing you to see the improved you before surgery is even planned. This beautiful smile is the accurate and predictable result of the Your Smile Choice™ journey.
“Free Hand” Dentist
In traditional free-hand surgery, you will only get to see your smile after surgery is complete.
How precise is implant placement?
Your Smile Choice™
You and your dental situation are unique. This means you need a very specifically designed surgery unique to you. Advanced digital planning means precision with no chance of mistake. The implant position, depth and angle are pre-planned to a fraction of a millimeter by a team of dental experts who have successfully treated thousands of patients. They take into account all biological (e.g. mouth size and how far you can be opened, bone quality and volume) and anatomical aspects (e.g. nerve and sinus position) that make you unique.
“Free Hand” Dentist
Free hand implants cannot be expected to be accurate to a millimeter. The human aspect involved in placing them will always introduce variability and the potential for error. Small errors can require additional drilling to adjust the implant, resulting in larger implant holes, potentially long-term re-treatment, and longer patient healing times.
Is the surgery simple?
Your Smile Choice™
Our teams work very hard to make day-of-surgery a breeze for you and your surgeon. Our belief is that by pre-planning every step and stage of your surgery we remove the guesswork and chance for ‘surprises’ making it as simple as it can be on that big day. This makes the surgery quicker and more predictably successful.
“Free Hand” Dentist
Freehand surgery is cautious by nature. Surgeons have to go slow in order to make in-the-moment surgical decisions. Without careful planning surgical surprises are not surprising and can make the final stages more complex and error prone.
How long does surgery take?
Your Smile Choice™
Surgery is significantly quicker (2-3 hours) than freehand surgery because all major factors have been analyzed in advance of surgery. Quicker surgeries result in using less anesthesia during surgery, and result in less pain and discomfort to the patient post-surgery.
“Free Hand” Dentist
Freehand surgery can take several hours due to continuous decision-making, converting of a traditional denture, laboratory work and variables. This can result in a more invasive surgery, greater oral trauma and more post-operative patient pain.
What about the actual teeth?
Your Smile Choice™
On the day of surgery you take home a brand new set of digitally-designed, strong, and natural-looking, natural-feeling teeth. You’ll walk out with a beautiful, perfectly aligned smile designed and crafted specifically for you.
“Free Hand” Dentist
A generic temporary denture is reshaped in surgery to approximate the fit and contours of the patients gum. As your implants heal post-surgery, this can result in unbalanced biting and an unevenly aligned smile causing chewing and wear issues for years to come.
Is the surgery painful?
Your Smile Choice™
Your Smile Choice is all about simplicity on the day of surgery. Shorter surgery means less time in dental chair, and the use of less anesthesia. The Your Smile Choice team will do everything possible to keep you comfortable before, during, and after surgery. Healing is fast and relatively pain free, most patients require nothing more than over the counter medication.
“Free Hand” Dentist
Free-hand patients experience statistically higher post-operative pain and swelling.
