When Traditional Implants Aren’t Enough: Subperiosteal And Transnasal Implants In Albania

Not every patient has enough bone density in their jaw for traditional implants, and this is where advanced techniques come into play. Subperiosteal and transnasal implants in Albania offer advanced alternatives for complex cases where traditional implants are not possible.

At Virtus Dental Center, these procedures are performed with advanced technology and guarantee safe and long-term results. 

What Are Subperiosteal Implants?

Subperiosteal implants are an advanced dental technique that is used when patients dont have enough jawbone for traditional implants. Instead of placing them inside the bone, they are placed over it, under the gum line. 

They are composed of a personalized metallic structure that fits perfectly with the jaw shape of the patient. This structure offers enough support for the new fixed teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics. 

This method is a perfect solution for patients who dont want or cannot go through with bone grafting. At Virtus Dental Center, subperiosteal implants are performed with the help of 3D scans and modern technology to ensure a perfect fit. 

Thanks to this technique, even the most complex cases can benefit from a new and long-lasting smile. This is a major step forward in advanced dental implants in Albania.

When Are Subperiosteal Implants Recommended?

Subperiosteal implants are the ideal solution for patients who dont have enough jawbone for traditional implants. They are recommended in specific cases when bone grafting is not possible or is not preferred by the patients

  • They are used in patients with severe bone loss.
  • They are suitable when bone grafting is not an option as a result of health issues.
  • They offer a fast solution, without a long recovery period as with bone grafting. 
  • Perfect choice for a patient looking for a less invasive procedure.
  • Immediate stability for fixed teeth. 

At Virtus Dental Center, subperiosteal implants will be recommended after a thorough assessment with 3D imaging and digital planning. 

Subperiosteal Implant Placement Process

The subperiosteal implants procedure is personalized so it offers a perfect fit over the existing bone. This process is less invasive when compared to traditional techniques, and it provides patients with immediate stability. 

  • The procedure starts with 3D scans and digital planning to create a personalized metallic structure.
  • The projected structure will fit perfectly with the jaw shape.
  • During the procedure, this structure will be placed over the bone and under the gums.
  • Once positioned, a strong base for the placement of fixed teeth will be offered. 
  • The procedure is faster, and recovery won’t last as long. 

What Are Transnasal Implants?

Transnasal implants are an innovative dental technique created for patients with severe bone loss on the upper jaw. They are placed through the nasal space (nasal sinus), avoiding the need for bone grafting.

This method uses longer implants that will be safely placed on the nasal bone structure. This way, even patients with advanced jaw atrophy will be able to get new fixed teeth. 

At Virtus Dental Center, transnasal implants are performed with digital planning and 3D technology. This guarantees maximum safety and precise results for such cases that initially were considered impossible.

When To Choose Transnasal Implants In Albania

Transnasal implants are an advanced implantology treatment for patients who dont have enough bone on their upper jaw. They are especially recommended in cases where traditional and subperiosteal implants cannot guarantee enough stability.

  • They are used for patients with advanced atrophy in the upper jaw.
  • They are suitable when bone grafting is not possible or preferred. 
  • Suitable in cases when a long-term and stable solution is required.
  • Offer a lot of support thanks to the use of longer implants that are fixed in the nasal bone.

The Main Steps Of The Transnasal Technique

Transnasal implants are placed through a carefully planned procedure that guarantees both stability and safety. At Virtus Dental Center, each step is performed with modern technology to offer results that last a lifetime. 

  • Firstly, a 3D scan will be performed to analyse the structure of the bone and nasal cavity.
  • Digital planning will be used to define the ideal position for the implants.
  • The long dental implants will be placed through the nasal cavity and fixed in the upper bone.
  • Once placed, they offer a strong base for the fixed teeth.
  • A temporary prosthesis will be placed immediately, providing immediate functionality and appearance improvement. 

The Difference Between Subperiosteal And Transnasal Implants

Subperiosteal and transnasal implants are only used for patients with severe bone loss, but their differences lie in the placement process and application field. At Virtus Dental Center, both techniques are placed after a careful analysis with 3D scans to decide the suitable option for each patient. 

  • The position: Subperiosteal implants are placed over the jawbone, under the gums, while transnasal implants are placed in the nasal cavity, fixed in the upper jawbone.
  • Suitable candidates: Subperiosteal implants are the perfect choice for patients with severe bone loss in the upper or lower jaw, while transnasal implants are especially used for those with advanced atrophy in the upper jaw. 
  • Invasiveness: Subperiosteal implants are less invasive as they avoid bone grafting.  
  • Stability: Transnasal implants offer more fixation for upper dentures, while supperiosteal implants offer immediate support in areas where bone is missing.
  • Results: Both techniques offer durability and improved aesthetics when performed by trained specialists.
