Surgical guides have transformed implant placement for millions of cases — and they have been an excellent tool. But guides are built on a pre-operative plan. They can’t adapt for what you encounter once you’re inside the osteotomy: variations in bone density, anatomy that presents differently than expected or a trajectory that needs to be adjusted in real time.
These moments don’t just happen in complex cases; they happen in everyday implant dentistry — and they matter.
Join Dr. Daniel Choi, a board-certified periodontist and implant surgeon with more than 10,000 implants placed since 2011, for a webinar as he presents a case-based framework for understanding how to choose between guided, freehand and navigation across a spectrum of clinical scenarios.
Dr. Choi will discuss a case type protocol for choosing technology that will help you conquer complex anatomy, embrace tactile and visual guidance and meet angulation demands that make accurate guide fabrication particularly challenging. He will walk you through how X-Guide’s real-time drill tracking allows visualization of position and angulation continuously throughout the osteotomy, supporting precise placement and intraoperative adjustments when they matter most — before a complication develops.
The webinar extends from routine workflows to high-stakes sites: implants placed in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve, the sinus floor and other critical structures where the margin for error is narrow and intra-operative feedback is essential. Throughout, Dr. Choi will reinforce a practical, complementary approach that will help clinicians build a confident decision framework for selecting the right tool for each case and understand how to integrate navigation into routine workflows to improve consistency, streamline procedures and enhance surgical and restorative outcomes.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be worth 1 C.E. credit.

Dr. Choi is a board-certified periodontist and implant surgeon. He is the founder and owner of North Texas Dental Surgery (NTDS), a multi-location specialty practice serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area with offices in Plano, McKinney and Grapevine, Texas.
