Short dental implants are ideal for patients with limited maxillary bone availability, since they reduce the difficulty, duration, possible problems and cost of the treatment.
These dental implants are shorter than traditional implants (measuring between 4 and 8.5 mm) and are therefore indicated in cases where the alveolar nerve is 5 or 6 mm from the bone surface.
They maximize the possibilities of dental implant placement and minimize the need to resort to bone grafting procedures, thus reducing healing time and the cost of bone grafting techniques.
Short implants are particularly indicated in the posterior mandibular area, where bone augmentation techniques involve a higher risk of severe complications such as injury to the nerve responsible for lip sensitivity.
Or when it comes to solving a case of sensitive lack of bone in the maxilla with a very dilated sinus, as the alternative of choice to sinus elevation.
By avoiding this more complex surgery, the duration of treatment is similar to that of conventional implants, about three months, compared to the nine months involved in the placement of bone grafts.
If you wish to have dental implants, do not hesitate to contact us and we will provide you with all the necessary information about the treatments and techniques in implantology offered by Raslan Dental Clinic.
As specialists in dental implants in Barcelona at Raslan Dental Clinic we use the most avant-garde techniques to offer the best results such as guided surgery, a technique for placing dental implants that is less invasive and improves the postoperative period of patients.
Guided surgery allows dental implants to be placed in the exact location of the dental arch. Thanks to the 3D technology we work with, we are able to replicate the patient’s jawbone and teeth in our computer. After this planning, a splint is created that serves as a guide to know the exact point in which to place the dental implant.
- More precise than traditional methods
- The incision is minimal
- The postoperative period is much more bearable
- The intervention time is shorter than with traditional methods
- The time of the intervention is much shorter than with traditional methods.
