GuidedSMILE® and Hiossen Implants: A New Era in Guided Surgery

In a significant move to enhance access to guided surgeries across North America, GuidedSMILE® has recently joined forces with Hiossen Implants, the U.S. subsidiary of Osstem Implant. This strategic partnership integrates Hiossen's kernel of implant systems along with its extensive clinician network with GuidedSMILE's innovative patented stackable surgical guide technology. The collaboration is poised to elevate the standards of dental care, particularly in full-arch treatment approaches.

The synergy between the two companies is not merely transactional, but rather it lays the groundwork for a comprehensive educational and practical framework. Hiossen has established a robust clinical education platform through its Advanced Dental Implant Research and Education Center (AIC), which offers practitioners the opportunity to sharpen their skills through hands-on training programs, live surgeries, and ongoing education. On the other hand, GuidedSMILE specializes in developing guided workflows that enable clinicians to plan and execute complex full-arch treatments, ranging from surgical planning and bone reduction up to implant placements and restorative workflows.

This partnership aims to simplify the obstacle-ridden process of full-arch treatment in dental practices. Alan Banks, President of GuidedSMILE, commented on the complexity of full-arch procedures, stating, "Full-arch treatment has a lot of moving parts, and no single piece of technology solves all of them." The collaboration allows the integration of Hiossen's implant expertise with GuidedSMILE’s guided workflows to offer a predictable and streamlined solution for dental professionals.

A pivotal component of their joint initiative is the focus on education and hands-on experience. Many dentists have expressed the need for comprehensive training in guided surgery techniques. This partnership opens doors for them, allowing greater access to the technology and education necessary to master guided full-arch treatments. Through Hiossen's dedicated educational programs and clinical network, dentists can gain valuable insights and practical experiences that solidify their understanding and proficiency in this advanced field.

GuidedSMILE's portfolio consists of seven patented stackable guide innovations, which have successfully supported over 50,000 full-arch procedures, resulting in more than 350,000 surgical guides. These guided workflows are meticulously designed to align surgical and restorative planning, ensuring that every dental professional has a structured approach to complex cases.

Together, these two companies are not only broadening the availability of guided full-arch education but also infusing the clinical landscape with the latest advancements in dental technology. As they collaborate closely, more dental practitioners throughout North America will be equipped with the skills and support needed to incorporate guided workflows into their daily practices effectively.
