CHROME generates $1,000 more per hour compared to freehand surgery
The business/financial decision on whether to conduct freehand or guided surgery is often focused solely on the material cost of the surgery. This is not a comprehensive overview of the true cost, as it does not take into account the high-cost variable of time!
The table below provides a model to better understand the complete costs associated with a full-arch surgery – time and materials. This model only considers the doctor's hourly rate (established at $400 per hour) and not the cost of staff and operatory use.
The freehand costs and times were averaged from the feedback gathered from 18 full arch specialists.

| ROE Treatment Plan | $400 | 1 | $800 | 0.5 | $200 |
| Present Treatment Plan to Patient | $400 | 0.5 | $200 | 0.5 | $200 |

| Post-Surgery Equilibration | $400 | 1.0 | $800 | 0.5 | $200 |
| Temp Adjusted (Soft Tissue) | $400 | 0.5 | $200 | 0.25 | $100 |
| Transition steps to final prosthesis | $400 | 6.5 | $1,800 | 2 | $800 |
| Total Cost | 13.0 hrs | $5,200 | 8.25 hrs | $3,300 | |
A guided surgical approach should 1) reduce the overall number of appointments from 7 to 5, and 2) the overall appointment hours by up to 66%+. The biggest differences between freehand vs guided times are in relation to:
- Premade Temp Prosthesis – CHROME's surgical accuracy means the team can convert the prosthesis with far less work.
- Transition steps to final prosthesis – CHROME offers a simplified approach to ordering the final.
Taking a guided surgical approach diminishes the majority of the time and clinical implications of unforeseen surgical complications while delivering a superior restorative outcome.

CHROME is slightly more expensive than doing the surgery freehand. This slight increase in cost helps guarantee a predictable, efficient surgery. The CHROME Complete package contains all of the surgical guides plus the immediate load prosthesis, a RAPID applicant, and the final prosthesis on healing has been completed.
