Implant planning · Remote · 24-48h
Implant planning service for U.S. labs and clinics.
Restoratively driven implant planning from your CBCT and scans, with a guide file and a readable report back in 24–48 hours, planned by one designer and invoiced only after you approve.
Planned from the final teeth back
The plan starts with the restoration, not the bone. The tooth setup or crown position is placed first; implant position, angulation and depth are then chosen to support it, with the emergence, screw access and occlusion checked before a guide is built.
Single implants, multiple implants and full arches are planned the same way. Multi-unit positions for All-on-X are planned with the provisional in mind, so the same plan carries through immediate loading and the final design.
What you send, what comes back
You send
- CBCT (DICOM)
- Intraoral scan (STL); denture scan for edentulous arches
- Implant system and guided kit
- Prosthetic goal, or a request for a proposal
You get back
- Implant positions, angulation and depth, reviewed against the prosthetic plan
- Planning report (PDF) for the surgeon and the patient conversation
- Surgical guide STL when a guide is ordered
- Prosthetic files that follow the same plan: provisional, final, abutments
Why send it here
One designer, every position
The same person plans, positions and checks every case: angulation, depth, emergence and screw access. You approve every position on your own screen before anything is built, and the person who drew them is the person who answers your questions about them.
Same clock as your lab
Angulation, depth or emergence questions are answered inside your own business day. Atlantic time keeps Aruba on U.S. Eastern hours during daylight time and one hour ahead in winter.
Approve the plan, then pay
Nothing is invoiced until you approve the implant positions on your own screen. If angulation, depth or emergence needs another pass, the plan is revised until it is right.
Built for your kit, not a default
Sleeve seat and drill offset come from your guided kit's published protocol, and the provisional, final and abutment files all follow the same plan. I do not substitute a generic sleeve into a guided case: that offset sets the depth.
Pricing
Every price is design only. You review the plan and the design before you pay: approval is on the report and the screenshots, and the production files are released when the invoice is settled. Revisions inside the approved plan are included. The turnaround clock starts when I confirm your files are complete and stops while I am waiting on an answer from you; if I miss the turnaround I stated when I accepted the case, that case is free.
Questions U.S. labs ask, answered
Can the plan be reviewed live with our surgeon?
Yes. Implant positions can be reviewed on screen with you or your surgeon before the surgical date. Aruba is on Atlantic time, so a call fits inside a U.S. Eastern business day.
Do you plan for immediate loading?
Yes. When the case is an immediate load, the provisional is planned with the implant positions, so the screw-retained provisional is ready for the surgical appointment.
Is this a U.S. company?
No. NB Digital Dentistry is Nicolás Petersen, a digital dentistry designer based in Aruba, working remotely for laboratories and clinics in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Aruba is on Atlantic time, so the working day overlaps the U.S. Eastern business day.
How do files travel, and what about patient data?
You receive an encrypted upload link. Patient files never travel as email attachments and never over WhatsApp. Send the CBCT (DICOM) and intraoral scans (STL) with no patient identifiers in the file names; the design work needs none.
Who carries the regulatory responsibility, and who owns the plan?
You do, on both counts. The deliverable is a design file: printing, materials, sterilisation and every regulatory obligation stay with your laboratory or clinic, as they would for a design your own technician produced. The treating clinician prescribes the case, approves every implant position on their own screen and is solely responsible for the decision to place. I design to that prescription and tell you about anything in the data I would not drill on.
Can you work on-site in the U.S.?
The service is remote and file-based; that is how U.S. clients are served on the same 24–48 hour turnaround as Aruba clients. In-person work is available on Aruba.
You approve the design before you pay.
The first case is free — one implant plan and guide of up to two implants for a clinic, or three restorative units for a laboratory, one per practice. Judge the files on your own equipment first.
