Are Subperiosteal Implants Safe?

Are Subperiosteal Implants Safe?

13 March Fri, 2026

Safety in subperiosteal implant treatment depends on three things: patient selection, surgical precision, and prosthetic design. Recent literature reviews conclude that subperiosteal implants can be effective in complex atrophic cases when these factors are carefully managed. At the same time, systematic review data show that while modern designs have favorable short-term function rates, soft-tissue exposure and related complications still remain important considerations.

That is why at MilimInternational, Dr. Ali Direnç Ulaşan treats subperiosteal cases as specialist-level surgery. Safety does not come from the implant alone; it comes from the whole protocol: imaging, anatomical assessment, prosthetic planning, hygiene access, and follow-up. A safe treatment plan also includes realistic discussion of risks, healing expectations, and maintenance. In advanced bone loss cases, a clinic should never promise “easy implants.” It should explain why a custom subperiosteal design may be appropriate and how the team plans to reduce risk at every stage.
