What are Subperiosteal Implants?

Subperiosteal implants are custom-made dental frameworks designed to sit on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue, providing an alternative solution for patients with insufficient bone density or height to support traditional endosteal implants. Unlike conventional implants that are inserted directly into the jawbone, these specialised implants rest on the bone surface, eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting procedures while still providing stable support for dental prosthetics such as dentures or crowns. They are particularly beneficial for patients with significant bone atrophy or those who cannot undergo bone augmentation, offering a viable tooth replacement option that can restore both function and aesthetics with reported long-term success rates of up to 91% over a 10-year period when properly maintained.

Conditions We Treat With Subperiosteal Implants

Our Knightsbridge practice uses Subperiosteal Implants to treat specific dental conditions that benefit to this treatment approach. We thoroughly evaluate your condition to ensure Subperiosteal Implants is the most suitable solution. Our team explains which conditions can be effectively treated with Subperiosteal Implants.


  • Severe Bone Loss or Atrophy: Subperiosteal implants are ideal for patients who have experienced significant jawbone deterioration, as these custom-made frameworks sit on top of the jawbone rather than being inserted into it.

  • Insufficient Bone Density: When traditional dental implants aren't viable due to poor bone quality, subperiosteal implants offer an alternative solution without requiring extensive bone grafting procedures.

  • Atrophic Jaws: Patients with severely receded jawbones can benefit from subperiosteal implants, which are specifically designed to accommodate the unique contours of atrophied jaw structures.

  • Multiple Missing Teeth: Subperiosteal implants can support multiple prosthetic teeth or full dentures, making them suitable for patients missing several or all teeth in an arch.

  • Medical Contraindications for Bone Grafts: For patients who cannot undergo bone graft procedures due to medical conditions or personal preference, subperiosteal implants provide a viable tooth replacement option.

  • Failed Traditional Implants: Patients who have previously experienced unsuccessful endosteal implant procedures may be candidates for subperiosteal implants as an alternative solution.

  • Shallow Jawbone Structure: When the height or width of the jawbone is insufficient for traditional implants, subperiosteal frameworks can be custom-designed to fit the existing bone structure.

  • Need for Faster Treatment Completion: Subperiosteal implants can sometimes offer a quicker treatment timeline compared to bone grafting followed by traditional implants, benefiting patients seeking more immediate tooth restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are subperiosteal implants?


Subperiosteal implants are a type of dental implant that sits on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue. Unlike traditional endosteal implants that are placed directly into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants consist of a metal framework that rests on the bone surface. They are specifically designed for patients who lack sufficient bone height or density for conventional implants but still want a fixed tooth replacement solution.



What is the success rate of subperiosteal implants?


Modern subperiosteal implants have shown impressive success rates. Studies indicate survival rates of 79% over a 10-year follow-up period and 60% after 15 years. More recent research evaluating hydroxyapatite-coated subperiosteal implants demonstrated a success rate of 91% over 10 years. At London Dental Specialists, we carefully assess each patient's specific situation to maximise the likelihood of successful outcomes.



Who is an ideal candidate for subperiosteal implants?


Ideal candidates for subperiosteal implants include:



  • Patients with insufficient bone height or volume for traditional implants

  • Individuals who cannot or do not wish to undergo bone grafting procedures

  • Patients who have experienced significant bone loss due to long-term denture wear

  • Those seeking a fixed alternative to removable dentures

  • Patients with good overall oral health and healthy gum tissue



What is the difference between endosteal and subperiosteal implants?


Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone ('endo' meaning 'in' and 'osteal' referring to 'bone'). They typically have a screw-like or cylindrical shape. Subperiosteal implants, however, are positioned on top of the jawbone but beneath the periosteum (the membrane covering the bone). They consist of a custom-made metal framework that sits on the bone surface with posts that protrude through the gums to support the replacement teeth.



What does the subperiosteal implant procedure involve?


The subperiosteal implant procedure at London Dental Specialists typically involves:



  1. Comprehensive examination and 3D imaging to create a precise model of your jawbone

  2. Custom fabrication of the metal framework to fit your unique bone structure

  3. A surgical procedure to place the framework on the jawbone and under the gum tissue

  4. A healing period of approximately 3-6 months

  5. Attachment of the final prosthetic teeth to the posts that extend through the gums



How long do subperiosteal implants last?


With proper care and regular dental check-ups, subperiosteal implants can last 15 years or more. The longevity depends on several factors including oral hygiene practices, regular professional maintenance, and lifestyle habits. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive aftercare guidance to help maximise the lifespan of your implants.



What are the advantages of subperiosteal implants?


Subperiosteal implants offer several advantages, including:



  • Viable solution for patients with insufficient bone volume

  • Elimination of the need for extensive bone grafting procedures

  • Provision of fixed, stable tooth replacement

  • Improved chewing function compared to removable dentures

  • Prevention of further bone loss

  • Enhanced facial aesthetics and confidence



Are there any risks associated with subperiosteal implants?


As with any surgical procedure, subperiosteal implants carry some risks, including infection, implant movement, and gum inflammation. There's a slightly higher risk of infection compared to endosteal implants since the framework is placed under the gum tissue. However, at London Dental Specialists, we implement strict sterilisation protocols and provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise these risks. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the health of your implants.



How do I care for my subperiosteal implants?


Proper care for subperiosteal implants includes:



  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Daily flossing around the implant posts

  • Using antimicrobial mouth rinses as recommended

  • Attending regular professional cleanings and check-ups at London Dental Specialists

  • Avoiding tobacco products and limiting staining foods and beverages

  • Wearing a night guard if you have bruxism (teeth grinding)
