Subperiosteal Implants Treatment Procedure

At London Dental Specialists, our subperiosteal implant procedure is a sophisticated solution for patients with insufficient jawbone density. This innovative technique places a custom-designed titanium framework directly on the jawbone, beneath the gum tissue, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.

Key Steps in the Subperiosteal Implant Procedure

1. Anaesthesia Administration: We ensure your comfort with appropriate local anaesthesia or sedation options.


2. Gum Tissue Elevation: Our specialists carefully lift the gum tissue to expose the jawbone.


3. Framework Placement: The custom-made titanium framework is precisely positioned on the jawbone.


4. Gum Tissue Closure: The gum is sutured back into place, leaving only the implant posts visible.


5. Healing Period: A crucial phase allowing for proper integration of the implant with surrounding tissues.

Advanced Techniques for Optimal Results

• 3D-Guided Surgery: We utilise advanced imaging for precise implant placement.


• Biocompatible Materials: Our titanium frameworks promote optimal tissue integration.


• Minimally Invasive Approach: Techniques to reduce recovery time and enhance comfort.

Post Subperiosteal Implants Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your subperiosteal implants. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive post-treatment support to ensure optimal healing and integration of your new dental implants. This critical phase helps establish the foundation for years of comfortable, functional use of your restored smile.

Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours)

• Gentle Oral Hygiene: Carefully clean around the implant area without disturbing the surgical site.


• Cold Compress Application: Apply ice packs externally to reduce swelling (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off).


• Medication Management: Take prescribed antibiotics and pain relief as directed.


• Soft Diet: Consume only soft foods and liquids to avoid pressure on the implant site.

First Two Weeks Following Procedure

During this crucial healing period, we recommend:

• Saltwater Rinses: Gently rinse with warm salt water 3-4 times daily to promote healing.


• Smoking Cessation: Avoid smoking completely as it significantly impairs healing and can lead to implant failure.


• Alcohol Avoidance: Refrain from alcoholic beverages which can interfere with healing and medication effectiveness.


• Physical Activity Limitation: Avoid strenuous exercise that could increase blood pressure and affect healing.

Long-Term Maintenance for Subperiosteal Implants

To ensure the longevity of your subperiosteal implants, we advise:

1. Regular Check-ups: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor implant integration and overall oral health.


2. Professional Cleanings: Maintain regular hygienist visits every 3-6 months for specialised implant care.


3. Thorough Home Care: Use recommended tools such as interdental brushes and water flossers to clean around implants.


4. Prompt Attention to Issues: Contact us immediately if you experience pain, mobility, or inflammation around your implants.
