Subperiosteal Implants: A Reliable Solution for Patients with Severe Bone Loss

When traditional dental implants are not possible due to advanced bone loss, subperiosteal implants offer an innovative and life-changing solution. At our clinic in Antalya, Turkey, we specialize in advanced implantology techniques for international patients who travel for safe, effective, and affordable dental care.

What Are Subperiosteal Implants?

Unlike conventional implants that are placed inside the jawbone, subperiosteal implants rest on top of the bone, beneath the gum tissue. They are custom-designed to fit the shape of the patient’s jaw and provide stable support for fixed or removable prostheses.

This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo bone grafting or sinus lift surgeries but still want to enjoy the benefits of implant-supported teeth.

Benefits of Subperiosteal Implants

• Ideal for Severe Bone Loss: No need for complex bone reconstruction procedures.
• Shorter Treatment Time: Immediate solutions compared to months of graft healing.
• Custom Design: Tailored framework ensures perfect adaptation to the jaw structure.
• Improved Function & Aesthetics: Restores natural chewing ability and a confident smile.
• Cost-Effective in Turkey: Dental tourism patients save up to 70% compared to treatments in Europe, the UK, or the USA.
