Cortico-Basal Implant

WHY CORTICO-BASAL IMPLANTS?

Strong Support Where Bone Is Limited

Cortico-basal implants are anchored in the dense, strong outer bone of the jaw. They can be an option for patients with reduced bone, and in suitable cases may help avoid extensive bone grafting. Suitability is always confirmed after a 3D scan.

GOOD TO KNOW

Who May Need to Wait First?

  • People with active gum disease or infection, which must be treated first
  • Cases where conventional implants are the better choice, as advised after your scan
  • Smokers, since smoking slows healing and can affect implant success
