Are you worried that you have bone loss and need major surgery? Assoc. Prof. Dr. Elif Öncü explains that not every bone loss requires advanced surgery, highlighting the advantages offered by “Short Implants”.
Is Major Surgery Necessary for Every Bone Loss?
Not every patient requires advanced bone augmentation (major surgical procedures such as bone powder grafting or bone grafting). In cases of insufficient jawbone, more practical and comfortable alternatives are available thanks to developing technology.
What are the Advantages of Short Implants?
In many cases, successful results can be achieved without the need for major surgeries thanks to thinner and shorter implant alternatives. The main advantages this innovative approach offers to patients are:
- Less Surgical Intervention: With limited bone support that can be done simultaneously, a less traumatic process is experienced.
- Faster Recovery: Because the procedure is more minimal, the recovery time is much shorter than in classic major bone surgeries.
- High Patient Comfort: With less pain, less swelling, and a shorter operation time, the patient’s overall comfort is significantly increased.
Remember: In modern implantology, the goal is to achieve the longest-lasting result with the least tiring method for the patient!
