Basal implants for diabetes
Basal dental implants are the best solution for diabetics. Basal implants are placed in cortical bone, which is much deeper. This is the hard bone of the jaw that is not subject to resorption of gum tissue.
The basal implant is recommended for diabetic patients as long as their diabetes is under control, either with insulin or medication such as Metformin. Diabetic patients undergoing dental restoration with a basal dental implant should be aware that healing is slower and there is more inflammation of the gums.
Conventional Implants and Diabetes
What are the limitations of conventional dental implants for diabetics?
Conventional dental implants are not recommended for people with diabetes because the implants are placed in soft, spongy bone, which is prone to resorption, which occurs more rapidly in diabetics.
Diabetic patients are not accepted by implant dentists who place conventional dental implants. The slow healing and high risk of implant failure are the most common explanations for the refusal of conventional implant dentists to treat patients who suffer from diabetes.
The Risks of Conventional Dental Implants for Patients with diabetes
Diabetes affects the body’s healing process and immune response, increasing certain risks associated with dental implants. Poorly controlled diabetes can significantly raise the chance of implant failure, as the bone may not adequately integrate with the implant, called osseointegration:
Slow Healing
High blood sugar levels impair circulation, reducing blood flow to tissues. This can slow down healing after surgery and increase the risk of infection.
Risk of Infection
Diabetes can weaken the immune system, making infections more likely around the implant site.
Periodontal Disease
Diabetic patients are more prone to gum diseases, complicating the long-term success of implants..
A Higher Implant Failure Rate
Poorly controlled diabetes can significantly raise the chance of implant failure, as the bone may not adequately integrate with the implant. The osseointegration fails.
The Solution: Basal Dental Implants
Basal dental implants avoid the effects of diabetes. They are placed deep into the hard cortical bone of the jaw that is not affected by the deficiencies of the soft bone to heal after implantation. As a result, they are the best and often the only solution to fully restore the teeth of diabetic patients.

Basal dental implants
for smokers
Basal dental implants are the only long-term solution for smokers. The heat of cigarettes damages the soft gum tissue that recedes. But, basal implants are fixed deeper into the hard cortical bone that does not recede.
Basal Dental implants
for missing teeth
Basal dental implants are especially designed for patients who have missing teeth with severe bone loss. Basal implants help recreate the natural functionality of the mouth to give the patient a full set of fixed teeth.
Basal dental implants
for bruxism
Basal dental implants are the best solution for patients who suffer from bruxism. Basal implants resist the grinding of the teeth that is associated with bruxism because they are fixed deep into the hard cortical bone.
