Fitz Fahey Academy

Looking back at a trip to Northern Wales.

The landscape genuinely reminded me of parts of New Zealand, particularly the roads and mountain scenery. Driving through some of these areas felt very familiar.

Always good to step away from the practice for a few days before getting back into surgery, planning, and teaching again.

Good scenery helps.

Guided surgery isn’t just about placing implants.
It’s about knowing what you’re dealing with before you start.

After placing thousands of dental implants, with over 6000 of them guided, one thing has become very clear: the scan changes the plan.

3D imaging allows you to see what isn’t always obvious clinically. Bone limitations, anatomical constraints, and underlying pathology can influence your approach.

It means you’re not encountering these challenges during surgery, but identifying and planning for them in advance. That shift alone changes how controlled and predictable the procedure feels.

In many ways, it serves as a rehearsal for the real thing.

This is exactly what we focus on in Unlock the Art of Guided Implant Surgery – Simplifying Implant Placement Part 1*.

Join me on the next course date to build a more structured and predictable guided workflow.
