Some of the most common questions from patients
looking for information on basal dental implants

Are basal implants affected by gum disease?

Basal dental implants are the best solution for treating gum disease because they are longer and fixed in the cortical bone, which is harder and deeper than the root of the tooth. They are therefore unaffected by the gum resorption associated with gum disease.

---

I smoke, can I have basal dental implants?

Yes, you can have dental rehabilitation with basal dental implants because basal implants are placed in the cortical bone which is hard and not subject to resorption due to the heat of cigarette smoke. It includes electronic cigarettes.

---

Can I have basal dental implants if I have diabetes?

Yes, you can have a full dental restoration with basal implants because it’s the best solution for diabetics. The basal implant is placed in the cortical bone, the hard bone of the jaw, and is therefore better integrated than traditional conventional dental implants that are placed in the soft cancellous bone.

Are basal implants resistant to teeth grinding?

Basal dental implants are the best solution for bruxism, teeth grinding, because they are longer and fixed in the cortical bone, which is deeper and harder. This gives strength and stability to the fixed bridge that welds all the implants and teeth together.
