Frequently Asked Questions

I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS/ COMPLICATIONS WITH MY CONVENTIONAL DENTAL IMPLANTS.IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME NOW TO SWITCH TO STRATEGIC BASAL IMPLANT METHOD?

Yes, of course.

The treatment costs for conventional 2-stage implants like nobel biocare  often accumulate uncontrollably over months or even years. One surgery here, another intervention there, aftercare… the bills pile up. Many time the patient is afraid to terminate the treatment or isn’t aware of treatment alternatives. They feel stuck in a dead end.

Many surgical steps and procedures, such as bone grafting, are unnecessary in our treatment method. Being able to avoid these procedures results in cost reduction of 60% compared to the expenses associated with traditional methods. Another 20% are saved by eliminating multiple visits to dental office ,which obviously disrupt your regular routine professional and personal life. Switching treatment methods and providers almost always pays off. The conventional implants are removed and the new Strategic Implants placed in one single surgical procedure. Patients can resume their lives with a smile within three to five days at most.


.WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL DENTAL IMPLANTS AND THE STRATEGIC BASAL IMPLANTS?

Conventional implantology with 2-stage implants requires plenty of bone volume , time and money. Many patients do not possess adequate and good bone , resulting in the need for bone augmentation, sinus lift surgery, or risky bone grafts/augmentation. The entire treatment duration  is characterized by long waiting periods(3-8 months), healing time and high costs.And also with the life time high risk of developing periimplantitis-i.e infection around implants.

This is where the distinct advantages of Simpladent® implantology(Strategic implantology)  become apparent. The method is swift, reliable and predictable.

Even patients with very low bone volume  can receive immediate treatment with polished, single piece, cortical-basal implants. This  technique only requires cortical bone areas, which exists in sufficient quantities in each and every patient. These stable, cortical bone areas are ideally suited for implant placement and are available in practically every patient throughout their entire lives.

The Strategic Implant® can be immediately loaded. The feared peri-implantitis, a dangerous infection, does not occur in this treatment method at all.


AM I ELIGIBLE FOR TREATMENT WITH STRATEGIC BASAL IMPLANTS METHOD?

Many patient asks themselves this question – even more those who suffer a compromised state of health or chronic illness (such as diabetes), or who are heavy smokers.

And patients who are told by their dentists that implants can not be done because of less bone situation can also benefit from basal implants

The answer is clearly: Yes! Over 99% of these patients are successfully treated with the Strategic Implant®.

This includes patients suffering periodontal disease and (chronic) gingivitis, and those who have given up on receiving fixed teeth due to prolonged, agonizing or expensive treatment methods. These patients can all receive care with a “single-treatment-step“.
