What each stage means for you
| Stage | What happens | Examples named by Straumann |
|---|---|---|
| Scanning | Your teeth and jaw are recorded digitally | SIRIOS™1 |
| Planning | The implant position is planned from the future tooth backwards | coDiagnostiX®, Smile in a Box®1 |
| Surgery | The implant is placed, freehand or with a guide | iEXCEL, iGuide™1 |
| Secondary scan | The implant position is scanned for the lab | SIRIOS™, RevEx™, EXACT™1 |
| Restoration | The crown or bridge is designed and milled | UN!Q™1 |
A digital workflow can make treatment more predictable and reduce appointments, but the result still depends on the team using it.
