Have you been turned down for dental implant treatment elsewhere? Subperiosteal implants from Pristine Dental Group could be the right treatment for you.
Many patients who come to us looking for dental implants have previously been told they weren’t a suitable candidate for the treatment. This is because traditional dental implants cannot be placed in patients who have suffered significant bone loss in the jaw.
This can, in some cases, be treated with a bone graft, but for anyone hoping to avoid lengthy surgical procedures, or who aren’t suitable candidates for bone grafting, subperiosteal implants could be a suitable alternative instead.
These implants work differently from traditional implants, which use titanium screws to act as the new tooth root and are placed directly into the jawbone. In cases where the bone density is insufficient, subperiosteal implants instead sit on top of the jaw and are held in place beneath the gums through the use of titanium fixation screws.
This specialist option uses a completely different design and technique to traditional implants. Custom-made to fit around, instead of in, the jawbone, your personal prosthesis will be held in place via titanium fixation screws.

Subperiosteal implants are a specialist implant solution designed to sit on or above the jawbone beneath the gum tissue, rather than being placed directly into the jawbone in the same way as conventional implants.
They may be considered in selected complex cases where there is significant bone loss and conventional implant placement may not be suitable.
A comprehensive assessment is required to determine whether this type of treatment is appropriate.
In certain carefully selected cases, they may provide an alternative approach where extensive bone augmentation would otherwise be required. Your implant dentist will assess the available options and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your circumstances.
