Precision and Accuracy for Optimal Results
At Young Dental Health Center in Upland, CA, we offer Guided Implant Surgery — a state-of-the-art procedure that ensures the most accurate placement of dental implants. Using advanced technology and 3D imaging, we can plan and execute your implant surgery with precision, reducing the risk of complications and improving healing time.
This approach provides a more predictable and streamlined process, making it easier for you to restore your smile.
Guided Implant Surgery is a cutting-edge technique that uses 3D imaging and a custom surgical guide to place dental implants with extreme precision. This method allows us to plan your implant placement digitally before the surgery, creating a tailored treatment plan.
A custom guide is then used during the procedure to ensure the implants are placed exactly where they're needed, resulting in better accuracy, reduced recovery time, and a higher success rate.
How Guided Implant Surgery Works
3D Scan & Digital Planning
We will take 3D scans of your mouth to map out the best placement for your implants. This imaging will be used to create a detailed digital treatment plan and a custom surgical guide to assist during surgery.
Surgical Guide Fabrication
A custom guide is fabricated based on your digital plan. This precisely fitted template guides our instruments to the exact planned position, ensuring the actual placement matches the virtual plan to millimeter accuracy.
Guided Placement Surgery
Using the custom surgical guide, we will place your implants with precision. The guide helps us avoid sensitive areas and ensures the implants are positioned in the optimal location. The surgery is minimally invasive and typically completed in one appointment.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Guided Implant Surgery typically results in faster recovery. You'll be given post-surgical care instructions to ensure proper healing, and follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress.
Why Guided Implant Surgery is Right For You
- Enhanced Precision: Digital planning ensures implants are placed with high accuracy, improving the overall outcome.
- Minimized Risk of Complications: The surgical guide helps avoid sensitive structures like nerves or blood vessels.
- Faster Recovery: Precise surgery leads to less trauma, resulting in quicker healing and less post-operative discomfort.
- Less Invasive: Minimizes the need for large incisions, making the procedure less invasive and more comfortable.
- Predictable Outcomes: Digital planning ensures the implants are placed in the ideal location for optimal function and aesthetics.
- Suitable for patients needing precise placement, those with bone grafting needs, and those wanting faster recovery times.

Why choose us for Guided Implant Surgery?
3D Imaging for Every Patient
We do not perform implant placement without a full 3D CT scan. Every implant patient at Young Dental Health Center receives cone beam CT imaging as part of their evaluation — because accurate planning is the foundation of long-term success.
Custom Surgical Guides as Standard
While many practices still perform freehand implant surgery, we use custom-fabricated surgical guides — transferring your digital plan precisely to your mouth for better outcomes.
Full In-House Planning & Surgery
The entire guided surgery workflow — CT scanning, digital planning, guide fabrication, and surgery — is managed by Dr. Clifford Young and Dr. Peter Young here in Upland.
Particularly Valuable for Complex Cases
If you need multiple implants, have limited bone volume, or have had previous implant complications, guided surgery offers the highest level of precision and safety for your situation.
Patient Education First
Before surgery, we walk you through your 3D treatment plan so you understand exactly where each implant will be placed. We believe an informed patient is a confident patient.
