At London Dental Specialists, we offer subperiosteal implants as a tailored solution for patients lacking sufficient jawbone density for traditional endosteal implants. This procedure involves placing a custom-made metal framework over the jawbone beneath the gum tissue, providing a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth without the need for extensive bone grafting. Our comprehensive process includes an initial consultation and assessment, development of a personalised treatment plan, precise surgical placement of the implant, and dedicated post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.

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.
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.
Ideal candidates for subperiosteal implants include:
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.
The subperiosteal implant procedure at London Dental Specialists typically involves:
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.
Subperiosteal implants offer several advantages, including:
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.
