Oral surgery has seen dramatic advances in recent years—and at the South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, we’re proud to bring those innovations to our patients in the Coral Springs and Pompano Beach communities. In this post, we’ll explore how modern technology is enhancing safety, comfort and results in procedures that once seemed intimidating.
3D imaging and CBCT scanning
Traditional 2-D X-rays gave us a lot of information—but today’s three-dimensional (CBCT) scans allow our surgeons to view the jawbone, nerves, sinuses and anatomy with incredible precision. This means:
- More accurate diagnosis and planning
- Reduced risk of complications (by avoiding nerves and vital structures)
- Shorter procedure times and improved outcomes
Guided implant placement
With digital scans and planning software, we can virtually place implants ahead of surgery and even create surgical guides. This offers:
- More accurate positioning of implants — crucial for long‐term success
- Minimal invasive approaches in many cases (smaller incisions, less trauma)
- Faster recovery and better predictability
Sedation and anesthesia advancements
Patient comfort is a priority. With improved sedation protocols, monitoring equipment and experienced anesthesia teams, we now offer safe and comfortable options—whether you need local anesthesia, IV sedation or general anesthesia. Today’s options mean:
- Less anxiety and greater relaxation during procedures
- Faster recovery from sedation in many cases
- Enhanced safety with modern monitoring and home instructions
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and regenerative medicine
One of the exciting developments in oral surgery is the use of regenerative techniques like PRF (platelet-rich fibrin). This technology uses your own blood’s growth factors to enhance healing—helping bone grafts integrate faster and soft tissue heal more reliably.
Minimally invasive techniques
Thanks to imaging, digital planning and refined surgical tools, many procedures that once required large exposures can now often be done with smaller incisions, less swelling and faster recovery. This is a big win for patients who want effective care without long downtime.
Telehealth & digital workflow
Even your consultation experience has been modernized:
- Secure online forms let you upload records and health history ahead of time
- Virtual consults may help determine candidacy for a procedure and set expectations before you walk in the door
- Digital records and imaging help align your general dentist, implant dentist and our surgeon for seamless care coordination
