Basal Implants

 Basal implants are a type of dental implant that are used to replace missing teeth or provide support for dentures. These implants are unique in that they are placed in the basal bone, which is the bone at the base of the jaw. This type of implant has several potential uses in dentistry.

One use of basal implants is to replace missing teeth. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to resorb, or shrink. 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. Many people who wear dentures find them to be uncomfortable or unreliable. Basal implants can provide a more secure foundation for dentures, making them more stable and comfortable to wear.

In addition to these uses, basal implants can also be used to correct jaw deformities or to stabilize the jaw after trauma or surgery.

Overall, basal implants are a versatile tool in dentistry that can be used to replace missing teeth, support dentures, and correct jaw deformities. If you are considering dental implants or have questions about basal implants, be sure to speak with your dentist. They will be able to determine if basal implants are the right option for you and help you make an informed decision about your dental care.
