Subperiosteal Implants: An Effective Solution For Non-Traditional Patients

 

As a dentist, you know that not all dental implant cases are the same. There are different types of implants that can be used depending on the specific needs of your patients. One such option that you may not be as familiar with is subperiosteal implants. At our dental laboratory, we are proud to offer subperiosteal implants as a reliable solution for patients who may not be good candidates for other types of implants.

So, what are subperiosteal implants? Unlike traditional dental implants that are placed directly into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum tissue but above the jawbone. They consist of a metal frame that is custom-designed to fit the shape of the patient's jawbone. The frame is then covered with a membrane, and the gum tissue is sutured back in place. Over time, the bone fuses with the frame, creating a stable foundation for the replacement tooth or teeth.

One of the primary benefits of subperiosteal implants is that they can be used when there is not enough healthy jawbone to support a traditional implant. This may be the case for patients who have suffered from periodontal disease, bone loss due to trauma, or other conditions that have weakened the jawbone. Subperiosteal implants are also less invasive than other types of implants, which can be beneficial for patients who may not be good candidates for surgery.

At SGT Guides, we have extensive experience in fabricating subperiosteal implants for a range of patients. We use only the highest-quality materials and the latest techniques to ensure that each implant is custom-designed to fit the unique needs of your patient.
