GuidedSMILE Receives New Patent for Guided Dental Implant Surgery

---

The USPTO has issued the broadest claims in the GuidedSMILE patent family to date.

GuidedSMILE® founder and inventor Jay Watson announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,758,365, “Fixation Base and Guides for Dental Prosthesis Installation,” on October 13, 2026. The patent adds 17 claims to GuidedSMILE’s growing portfolio addressing guided dental prosthesis installation.

“Guiding the teeth into their planned position has always been the purpose of my work,” said Watson. “That begins with the mouthpiece positioning the fixation base in relation to the patient’s anatomy. This new patent expressly addresses that relationship through a mouthpiece that conforms to jaw surfaces.”

GuidedSMILE® LLC, an ISO 13485-certified manufacturer of guided implant surgery systems, is the exclusive licensee of the GuidedSMILE® patent family. GuidedSMILE® and its network of laboratories fabricate products under the license.

GuidedSMILE® LLC, based in Independence, Ohio, is an ISO 13485-certified manufacturer of guided implant surgery systems for full-arch restoration.
