Every patient’s smile is different. Because of this, for practitioners who are getting started with guided implant placement, it may be difficult to meet the unique needs of each case. Technology can be a very helpful tool when treatment planning, and can enable you to produce excellent results for every smile type, and every clinical situation. This being said, it is not always realistic to invest in new technology and equipment when you’re looking to optimise and further your guided dental implant treatment workflow. Smile in a Box™ is the ideal solution here, allowing clinicians to pick and choose which parts of dental implant treatment planning they’d like to outsource, and which parts they’d prefer to carry out in-house. So, what are the options?

Case submission and treatment planning

When a patient requires dental implant treatment, submit your case to the Smile in a Box™ team. This will be carried out in practice, and requires you to upload a patient’s CBCT scan, along with STL files of the patient’s upper and lower jaws and bite registration, with the additional option of providing patient photos.

Following this, you can opt for treatment planning to be completed by the team at Smile in a Box™. A treatment plan will be developed based on your case data, and will be reviewed and approved by you via a webinar session. This allows you to maintain full control over the case, and access the high standard Straumann^® digital treatment planning workflow, without needing to bring the software in-house.

High-quality production

Once your treatment plan is finalised, the Smile in a Box™ team is able to produce a completely customised surgical guide and restorative design, all according to the treatment plan you have approved. Having approved these aspects, the Smile in a Box™ team will carry out precise, high-quality centralised CAD/CAM production of these aspects, in plenty of time. Smile in a Box™ uses the highest quality restorative and surgical guide design and production technology, offering you the benefits without the need to make these investments yourself. Of course, if you so wish, you may choose to carry out these steps in-house, should you have the facilities to do so.

Convenience for predictable workflows

Once manufacture of your components is complete, they are carefully packed into a box, and shipped to you 10 days after your final approval. This means that, when the day of the dental implant treatment arrives, you’ll have everything you need, ready to go, conveniently available for you to provide your patients with high-quality guided dental implant treatment.

Flexibility for the best outcomes

No matter the case, whether single implant, multi-unit solutions, or full arch treatment, Smile in a Box™ is able to offer you support at each stage. Should you require assistance with just some or all stages of treatment planning, design, and manufacture, Smile in a Box™ allows you to pick and choose which areas you prefer to carry out in house, and which to outsource. This allows practitioners to access the Straumann^® digital workflow, and decades of expertise, without the need to invest heavily in new software or equipment. This also helps to reduce the number of implant cases that clinicians need to refer out, increasing capabilities for more predictable workflows.

If you provide high-quality guided dental implant treatment in your practice, and are looking to increase your capacity, consider outsourcing parts of the process with Smile in a Box™. Discover the benefits of efficient treatment planning, high-quality design and manufacture, and predictability, as well as the convenience that it offers. Both you and your patients will benefit from the high standards of technology utilised in the Smile in a Box™ workflow.
