The USPTO has issued the broadest claims in the GuidedSMILE patent family to date. Our methodology has been used in more than 50,000 patient cases, and we are thrilled that the new patent offers additional protection for the invention.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
