Subperiosteal Implant

Subperiosteal implants are a specialized type of dental implant designed for patients who have insufficient bone height or volume in the jaw and are not suitable candidates for traditional endosteal implants. Unlike conventional implants that are inserted into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants rest on top of the bone but beneath the gum tissue, supported by a custom metal framework.

At Medixir Clinic, we use cutting-edge 3D imaging, CT scanning, and digital impressions to design subperiosteal implants that perfectly conform to the unique contours of each patient's jawbone. This precise customization ensures a secure and stable fit without the need for bone grafting, which is often required in traditional implant procedures for patients with severe bone loss.

Subperiosteal implants are especially beneficial for patients who cannot undergo bone augmentation due to age, medical conditions, or time constraints. The framework is fabricated from biocompatible materials such as titanium, ensuring both durability and integration with the surrounding soft tissues. Posts attached to the frame protrude through the gum line and serve as anchors for crowns, bridges, or full dentures.

The procedure typically involves two stages. During the first phase, detailed imaging and impressions are taken to design the implant framework. In the second stage, a minor surgical procedure is performed to place the custom-fitted framework under the gums and secure it in place. In some cases, same-day temporary teeth may be placed depending on stability and patient condition.

One of the key advantages of subperiosteal implants is their ability to provide implant-based restorations for patients who were previously told they were not candidates for implants. This includes individuals with significant bone atrophy or those who have worn removable dentures for many years.

Patients at Medixir Clinic receive individualized care and attention throughout the process. Our experienced oral surgeons ensure precise placement, while our prosthetic team creates highly aesthetic restorations that match the patient's natural smile. The result is a functional, comfortable, and confident dental solution.

Recovery time is generally short, with most patients experiencing mild swelling or discomfort for a few days after surgery. Post-operative instructions are provided to ensure proper healing, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and finalize prosthetic fittings.

We prioritize safety and efficiency by utilizing advanced sterilization protocols, digital planning systems, and minimally invasive techniques wherever possible. These methods reduce surgical risks and improve the overall patient experience.

Subperiosteal implants can support a wide range of prosthetic options, from single crowns to full-arch bridges. This versatility makes them a reliable choice for complex cases, particularly in the upper jaw where bone density tends to be lower.

At Medixir Clinic, we also welcome international patients with complex dental needs. Our dental tourism services include virtual consultations, hotel arrangements, airport transfers, and multilingual support. No matter where you're from, we are committed to delivering world-class dental care tailored to your situation.
