Subperiosteal Implants
At Balat Aesthetic, we offer subperiosteal implants as an alternative solution for patients with severe bone loss in the jaw. This advanced technique provides a secure and stable foundation for dental restorations without the need for bone grafting.
What are Subperiosteal Implants?
Subperiosteal implants are a type of dental implant placed on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue. They are commonly used to:
- Restore missing teeth in patients with significant bone loss.
- Provide a fixed alternative to traditional dentures.
- Eliminate the need for extensive bone grafting procedures.
- Ensure long-lasting stability for prosthetic teeth.
The Subperiosteal Implant Procedure
- Consultation & Planning: A 3D scan is used to create a custom implant frame.
- Implant Placement: The subperiosteal implant is positioned on the jawbone beneath the gums.
- Healing Process: The gums heal over the implant, securing it in place.
- Final Prosthetic Attachment: After a few months of healing, permanent teeth are placed.
