Missing teeth combined with bone loss can make conventional implants difficult. Cortico-basal (basal) implants are an alternative technique that anchors in the stronger, deeper bone, and in suitable cases can allow fixed teeth within about 3 days. At PS Dental Care, Narela Mandi, we examine your bone and gums first and tell you honestly whether this option suits you.

These implants are designed to hold in both the cortical bone (the dense outer layer) and the basal bone (the deeper, denser bone that usually stays stronger when the upper jawbone shrinks). They are often considered for patients with:
| Cortico-basal implants | Conventional implants | |
|---|---|---|
| Bone needed | Anchors in deeper basal bone | Needs enough bone in the tooth-bearing area |
| Bone grafting / sinus lift | Often avoided in suitable cases | May be needed if bone is low |
| Time to fixed teeth | Often within about 3 days in suitable cases | Often several months of healing |
Basal implants are a specialised technique and are not right for every patient. Your doctor will explain the benefits, limits and alternatives, and you should feel free to ask about the implant system used, follow-up care and what happens if a problem occurs.
Immediate loading means fixing teeth onto the implants within days instead of waiting months for healing. Because basal implants anchor in the deeper, denser bone, immediate loading is often possible with them in suitable cases, so you may have fixed teeth within about 3 days. Your first set of fixed teeth may be refined after healing, and your doctor will explain what to expect. Read more about fixed teeth in 3 days.

The cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced and the complexity of your case. Book a consultation and we will give you an estimate before you begin.
Basal implants are often considered for patients with bone loss, but suitability depends on your scans and overall health. Your doctor will confirm after examination.
In suitable cases, fixed teeth can be fitted within about 3 days. Your doctor will tell you the timeline for your case.
Longevity depends on oral hygiene, gum health, bite forces, smoking and regular check-ups. Your doctor can explain what to expect in your case.
Basal implants are made of titanium and are an established technique, but as with any implant, results depend on choosing the right patient, careful surgery and good aftercare. Ask your doctor about the implant system used, follow-up care and the alternatives.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and can be managed with medicines your doctor prescribes.
