A smile is one of the first things we notice about other people. But when the health and appearance of your smile are compromised, self-confidence often begins to fade and quality of life can decline. In such cases, especially in cases of missing teeth and more advanced periodontitis, our experts have a solution. Alongside implant placement and modern fixed solutions for edentulism, we now also offer a completely revolutionary option for everyone who until now was not able to receive implants.

A unique and revolutionary method

We are extremely proud to be able to offer fixed teeth to all patients who previously only had the option of wearing removable dentures. Our modern dental center is once again proving its uniqueness, this time with the ZERO BONE IMPLANT Concept, or subperiosteal individualized implants. These are implants that are fully customized for people who do not have enough bone volume and quality for the placement of standard implants or for the best-known solution for edentulism—the All-on-4 method.

Subperiosteal implants are also ideal for patients with more advanced forms of periodontitis. This revolutionary concept is therefore the ideal solution for anyone who wants fixed teeth even though they do not have sufficient bone volume for standard implants, and who:

• has a completely edentulous jaw or both jaws,
• struggles with uncomfortable removable dentures,
• has lost all or several teeth over the years,
• has teeth in such poor condition that the only option is extraction.

'After the clinical examination and agreement on the procedure, we carefully determine the position and method of placing the subperiosteal implants. This concept is based on digital surgical planning and the placement of the structure in preplanned positions. The implantologist designs and places the structure, and the procedure itself is very simple, painless, and fast. Within 48 hours, if the patient is fully edentulous, they can receive fixed temporary teeth. After that, we wait 3 to 4 months, and then the patient returns for the fabrication of the final fixed restoration,' explains our Filip Štimac, DMD, Specialist in Oral Surgery.

The experience of the oral surgeon is essential

'With the ZERO BONE IMPLANT Concept, there is no need to consider bone grafting at all, which is often used in cases of insufficient bone before standard implant placement, because the structure is fixed to the lateral sides of the jawbone. This involves surface osseointegration, so, just as with standard implants, it is necessary to wait 3 to 4 months after placement for everything to heal together before the patient receives fixed permanent teeth,' explains Dr. Štimac.

This method has already proven successful in many patients. It is very important to choose an experienced oral surgeon who will dedicate sufficient time to planning the procedure and initially creating the prosthetic-surgical treatment plan for the entire case.

'Experience, knowledge, and professionalism are always essential in any surgical procedure in the mouth. At Štimac Center, we have a team of oral surgeons with many years of experience, and together with the modern technology our center is equipped with, this gives every patient the confidence that every procedure will be painless, fast, and straightforward,' emphasizes Dr. Štimac. Although the price of subperiosteal implants is higher than that of the other options mentioned, they represent the only fixed solution for patients who until now could not receive standard implants. At Štimac Center, we understand that price is an important factor, which is why we have introduced special discounts and payment options. At the moment, we offer a 30% discount on subperiosteal implants for all payment methods in cases of an edentulous jaw.
