iCare Lab is a specialist Surgical Guide Dental Lab London providing collaborative planning, CAD/CAM design, and 3D printing for implant-guided surgery cases.
At iCare Lab, we are not just 3D printing guides. We are your collaborating planning partners from CBCT analysis through final delivery. Your surgeon sends us the patient's CBCT scan and an Digital scan. Our technician imports both into, merges the bone anatomy with the soft tissue data, and designs virtual implant positions that optimise bone utilisation, prosthetic outcome, and safety.
The most precise protocol. Titanium sleeves control the entire osteotomy depth, angle, and diameter. The surgeon cannot deviate from the planned position — the guide is completely deterministic. Ideal for single implants, complex anatomical cases, and multi-unit situations where position accuracy is critical.
Titanium sleeves guide only the pilot drill, not the final implant fixture placement. This provides directional control and accurate depth but allows slightly more variability at implant insertion compared to full guidance. Useful for surgeons who prefer some tactile control during final placement, or for cases with softer bone where full guidance might cause binding.
A surgical guide that rests on and is retained by existing teeth, providing excellent stability and spatial reference. Ideal for partially edentulous patients where remaining tooth structure can anchor the guide. Provides high precision due to stable positioning.
For edentulous patients, the surgical guide is retained by soft tissue anatomy alone. Requires meticulous CBCT planning and precise bony landmark identification. More technique-sensitive than tooth-supported guides but essential for completely edentulous cases.
Receive CBCT & Scan Data You submit patient CBCT (DICOM files), Digital scan (STL), and clinical notes describing the surgical objectives and anatomical constraints.
Collaborative Planning Our technician designs virtual implant positions. Design incorporates bone density analysis, nerve anatomy, and prosthetic requirements. Design is shared with you and the surgeon for review and approval.
3D Print & Assemble Guide is 3D printed in biocompatible resin using high-precision 3D printers. Titanium sleeves are carefully assembled into the sleeve seats. Guide is polished, sterilised, and packaged with usage instructions.
Delivery Surgical guide arrives with identification, sleeve compatibility information, and step-by-step surgical protocol.
