Precision You Can See. Results You Can Trust.
At Third Coast Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we use advanced computerized surgical planning to transform diagnostic imaging into highly accurate, customized treatment plans. This digital approach allows us to virtually simulate every step of your procedure before you ever enter the operating room—ensuring safer, more efficient surgeries and more predictable results.
What Is Computerized Surgical Planning?
Computerized surgical planning (CSP) is a cutting-edge technology that combines 3D imaging, virtual modeling, and computer-aided design to map out oral and maxillofacial procedures in advance. Using data from cone beam CT (CBCT) scans and digital impressions, we create detailed digital reconstructions of your facial anatomy. These models allow us to plan procedures with an extraordinary level of detail and accuracy.
How We Use CSP at Third Coast OMS
We integrate computerized surgical planning into a wide range of procedures, including:
- Dental Implant Placement
CSP allows us to virtually plan the precise position, angle, and depth of dental implants based on your bone structure, nerve locations, and final prosthetic design. This digital blueprint improves surgical outcomes and often reduces the need for grafting or revision procedures. - Orthognathic (Corrective Jaw) Surgery
For patients undergoing jaw surgery, CSP helps us analyze skeletal discrepancies, plan bone movements, and predict how changes will affect bite alignment and facial appearance. Virtual planning also allows us to fabricate custom surgical splints and guides for use during surgery. - Wisdom Teeth Removal & Impacted Teeth
Using CSP, we can assess the exact position of impacted teeth, evaluate proximity to nerves and sinuses, and determine the safest, least invasive surgical path—minimizing risk and improving recovery. - Reconstructive & Trauma Surgery
In trauma or pathology cases, CSP helps us visualize and restore the patient’s anatomy with precision. We can virtually model bone grafts, reconstructive plates, or implants to achieve optimal symmetry and function.
Benefits of Computerized Surgical Planning
- Enhanced precision and control
- Improved safety and reduced surgical time
- More predictable outcomes and fewer complications
- Personalized treatment based on your unique anatomy
- Better communication between patient, surgeon, and referring doctor
