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:
1
Consultation & 3D Assessment
A detailed examination is carried out using advanced imaging such as CBCT scans to evaluate your jaw structure.
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
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
4
Healing Phase
Your gums heal around the framework, stabilising the implant and preparing for final teeth placement.
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.
