This can make it difficult to place a traditional dental implant in the area. However, basal implants are placed in the basal bone, which is more stable and less prone to resorption. This makes them an ideal option for replacing missing teeth in areas where the bone may not be strong enough to support a traditional implant. Basal implants can also be used to support dentures.
