Subperiosteal Implants

Q: Do I need bone grafting for this treatment?

No. One of the main advantages is that bone grafting is usually not required, making treatment faster and less invasive.

Subperiosteal Implants in New Milton

Subperiosteal implants are an advanced dental implant solution designed for patients who do not have enough jawbone for traditional implants. Unlike conventional implants that are placed inside the bone, subperiosteal implants are positioned on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue.

Subperiosteal Implant Treatment Overview

These implants consist of a custom-made titanium framework that sits securely over the bone and is fixed using small screws.

This approach allows patients with severe bone loss to receive stable, long-lasting teeth without undergoing complex bone grafting procedures. With modern digital planning and 3D design, subperiosteal implants offer a highly precise and personalised solution for full-mouth rehabilitation.

Who This Treatment Is For

Subperiosteal implants are ideal for patients who:

Have severe jawbone loss (atrophy)
Have been told they are not suitable for traditional dental implants
Want to avoid bone grafting or sinus lift procedures
Have experienced long-term tooth loss or denture use
Are looking for a fixed alternative to removable dentures

This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals with advanced bone resorption, where conventional implant placement is not feasible.

Procedure / Process Explained Simply

The subperiosteal implant process is highly customised and involves several stages:

Step 1

Consultation & 3D Assessment

A detailed examination is carried out using advanced imaging such as CBCT scans to evaluate your jaw structure.

Step 2

Digital Design & Custom Implant Creation

A bespoke implant framework is designed based on your anatomy
Manufactured using advanced 3D technology for a precise fit
Each implant is completely patient-specific

Step 3

Surgical Placement

The implant framework is placed over the jawbone and under the gum
Fixed securely using small screws
Performed under local anaesthesia or sedation

Step 4

Healing Phase

Your gums heal around the framework, stabilising the implant and preparing for final teeth placement.

Step 5

Final Teeth Placement

Custom crowns or bridges are attached to the implant posts, restoring your smile and function

Problems It Solves

Subperiosteal implants address several key dental challenges:

Lack of sufficient bone for traditional implants
Need for invasive and time-consuming bone grafting
Loose or uncomfortable dentures
Difficulty eating and speaking
Loss of facial structure and confidence

By using a custom framework that rests on the bone, this treatment provides a stable and functional solution for missing teeth, even in complex cases.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a really positive experience with the clinic and its staff. I initially came to see Dr Ackerman for Smile White orthodontic treatment after another dentist dismissed my case due to the alignment of my teeth and wasn’t willing to explore treatment options. During the process, I needed a filling, and Dr Ackerman arranged for me to see a private dentist within the clinic. The repair was completed quickly and to a high standard, allowing my aligner treatment to continue without delay. Throughout my treatment, every visit was thorough and professional. Dr Ackerman was always friendly, approachable, and welcoming, both to me and to my daughter when I occasionally needed to bring her along. My teeth are now beautifully straight, and while my dental journey isn’t quite finished, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to the clinic for future treatments such as implants or veneers. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment or other dental work.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was advised to have the crown taken off an impacted wisdom tooth which was causing infection, and then a bone graft would be put on the jaw under the gum line. I am an extremely nervous patient but was made to feel at ease by the whole team who explained the procedure and the options for sedation.  I opted to have IV sedation and have no regrets about paying the extra money for this. I did not feel a thing and I don't remember anything about it. In fact, I was told that I was snoring for the last 20 mins of the procedure. The follow up care and advice was excellent with a review booked in 3 weeks after the extraction. Mr Puttur, the Dental Nurses, the reception team and the sedationist delivered exceptional care and understanding which was important to me as a patient, hence why I am giving a 5 star review.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent treatment. Everything was explained fully before treatment and I was very satisfied with how everything went and the post treatment plan given to me. I was very nervous beforehand as had bad experiences with Dentist in the past, but they helped me relax and helped me through the whole process.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been attending the Ackerman Clinic this past year for a bone graft and 2 implants. I had my final visit today when Dr Putter fitted two perfect implants. I’m thrilled with the result. Everyone at the clinic is very friendly and Dr Putter is a perfectionist. My new teeth are perfect. The bone graft was done in an hour and a half and the result was positive. It was not painful and I just needed painkillers when I was recovering at home afterwards.   The equipment they have at the clinic is first class. Thank you Dr Putter and all the staff.

They were there while I was doing my clear aligner treatment and gave a warm and welcoming atmosphere every time I had an appointment. Very inclusive, professional, informative and overall friendly. Would recommend them 10 out of 10 times.
