AMSJI
Traditional dental implants have revolutionised how we replace missing teeth. However, for patients with severe jawbone atrophy (bone loss), these implants might not be suitable. AMSJI implants, or Additively Manufactured Subperiosteal Jaw Implants, can provide a promising alternative in such cases. At OS Head and Neck, we are proud to offer this new treatment in our specialist clinic.
QUICK LINKS
Why choose AMSJI implants?
If you’re missing a significant number of teeth and have undergone bone loss in your jaw, traditional implants may not provide enough support. This can mean the need for bone grafting procedures before implant placement, extending treatment time and complexity.
AMSJI implants have a number of benefits for these cases:
Eliminate the need for bone grafts
Custom-made to perfectly fit your jawbone
Can be completed in a faster time than traditional implants
Able to support a full set of fixed or removable dentures
Minimise discomfort and recovery times
What does AMSJI treatment involve?
During your initial consultation, we assess your jawbone health and suitability for AMSJI implants. We also take CT scans to create a 3D model of your jaw, enabling us to design your custom implant and plan your treatment.
Your bespoke AMSJI implant is placed just under the surface of your jawbone during a surgical appointment. We use local anaesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. Immediately after surgery, we fit a temporary tooth, allowing you to smile and eat comfortably while your implant heals and integrates with your jawbone.
When your implant has healed and fused successfully, we remove your temporary tooth and place your custom-made permanent restoration on top of your implant to reveal your new smile.
