X-Nav navigated implant surgery

X-Nav is a dynamic navigation system used during implant surgery. Before the surgery, your CBCT 3D scan is loaded into the X-Nav system and we plan the exact position, angle, and depth of every implant against your specific anatomy. During the surgery itself, X-Nav tracks the position of the surgical drill in real time and shows the surgeon — on a screen, as the procedure happens — exactly how the drill is positioned against the planned implant trajectory.

Think of it as GPS for implant surgery: instead of relying on a static drilling template that doesn't adapt during the procedure (the way traditional surgical guides work), the surgeon sees the actual real-time position of the drill against the plan and can correct on the fly. The result is sub-millimeter accuracy on placement angle and depth — which matters enormously on complex cases like zygomatic and pterygoid implants, where being off by a few millimeters can mean the difference between a successful placement and one that doesn't engage the target bone.

Background on the system is available from X-Nav Technologies. At Suncoast, X-Nav navigation is used on cases where precision matters most — typically remote-anchorage cases, full-arch reconstructions, and any case where the implant geometry is complex enough that real-time feedback meaningfully changes the outcome.
