Patients occasionally inquire if agaram Dental practices “basal implantology”. The purported benefits of this system mainly focus on the possibility that these implants can hold the permanent teeth on the day of the surgery, and there is no need to undergo a healing phase with temporary teeth, which is how traditional implants work. We at agaram Dental strongly believe in a scientific, evidence supported approach to plan treatment for our patients. Basal implants simply do not have enough long term evidence to support it’s use. Basal implants are also not available in most Western countries. In contrast, traditional implants have more than four decades of scientifically backed evidence supporting their use.

A major issue with basal implants is the lack of flexibility to idealize the shape, size and contour of your teeth. Food getting caught under crowns held in by basal implants is a significant issue experienced by patients. We strongly believe that every patient’s requirements are unique, and traditional implants allow us to customize the ideal restorative solution for our patients. Basal implants in their current form are a “one size fits all” type solution, but in reality, they do not appear to fit anyone perfectly.
