Subperiosteal dental implants are a specialized type of implant designed for patients who lack sufficient bone height in the jaw and are not good candidates for traditional endosteal implants. Unlike conventional implants that are placed directly into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants rest on top of the bone but underneath the gum tissue. They consist of a custom-made metal framework that supports one or more prosthetic teeth and is anchored securely in place once the gums heal around it. This type of implant is particularly useful for patients with significant bone loss who wish to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures. Subperiosteal implants offer a stable and long-term solution for restoring function and aesthetics in challenging dental cases.
