Innova Dental Implant Institute Explains How Oral Surgeon Training Shapes Implant Treatment Planning

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - June 27, 2026 - PRLog -- For patients who require dental implants, full-arch reconstruction, or oral surgery involving the jaw and bone structure, the treatment plan begins before any procedure. Building that plan requires a thorough understanding of the patient's jaw anatomy, bone structure, and any anatomical factors that affect placement. At Innova Dental Implant Institute in Brunswick, Georgia, treatment planning for complex cases falls under the direction of Dr. Dexter Mattox, DMD, MD, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with both a dental degree and a medical degree. Oral and maxillofacial surgery training covers jaw anatomy, bone structure and density, facial structure, and surgical medicine, and that training informs every planning decision at the practice.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging forms the diagnostic foundation of that planning process. Before the surgical team at Innova finalizes any treatment plan, the practice runs a CBCT scan that produces a 3D view of the patient's bone quality and density, nerve channel locations, sinus anatomy, and overall jaw structure. The oral surgeon reads this data directly and uses it to determine implant positions, assess whether the case requires bone grafting before placement, evaluate sinus conditions for upper jaw cases, and identify any anatomical factors that affect the procedure. The plan that results from this evaluation reflects the patient's actual bone condition and jaw anatomy.
For full-arch restoration cases, the planning process at Innova extends beyond CBCT imaging. Navigational implant surgery technology provides real-time positional guidance during implant placement, working from the positions established in the pre-surgical plan. Photogrammetry captures precise spatial measurements after placement to confirm that the final full-arch restoration seats accurately. These technologies work within the surgical plan that the oral surgeon builds at the outset.
