Subperiosteal Implant in Chicago

Considering a Subperiosteal Implant? Explore Your Options at Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Chicago

Dealing with significant bone loss in your jaw can make traditional dental implants seem out of reach. At Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Chicago, we understand the challenges this presents and are pleased to offer advanced solutions like subperiosteal implants. This innovative approach provides a stable and reliable foundation for your new teeth, even when bone density is compromised.

What are Subperiosteal Implants?

Unlike traditional endosteal implants that are placed directly into the jawbone, a subperiosteal implant rests on top of the jawbone, underneath the gum tissue (periosteum). This custom-fabricated framework is designed to fit precisely over the existing bone, providing secure support for a complete upper or lower arch of replacement teeth.

How Do Subperiosteal Implants Work?

The process typically involves:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons will conduct a thorough examination, including imaging (like CT scans), to assess your jawbone structure and determine if a subperiosteal implant is the right solution for you.
  2. Custom Framework Design: Based on detailed impressions or digital scans of your jawbone, a personalized metallic framework is created in a dental laboratory. This framework precisely contours to the shape of your bone.
  3. Surgical Placement: In a minor surgical procedure, the gum tissue is gently lifted, and the custom-made framework is placed directly onto the jawbone. Small posts attached to the framework protrude through the gums.
  4. Healing and Integration: The gum tissue heals around the posts, securing the framework in place. This typically takes a few months.
  5. Prosthetic Attachment: Once healed, custom-designed artificial teeth (a denture or bridge) are attached to the posts, providing you with a functional and natural-looking smile.
