Basal
Implants.
Fixed Teeth
in 72 Hours.
Severe bone loss? Previous implants failed? Flying in from abroad? Basal (cortical) implants anchor in the dense cortical bone of your jaw — bone that remains permanently present regardless of alveolar resorption. Immediate mechanical stability means fixed teeth within 72 hours — no waiting months, no bone grafting.
The implant that anchors where
bone never disappears.
When a tooth is lost, the alveolar bone that once held it begins to resorb — shrinking progressively over months and years. This is why patients with long-standing tooth loss are often told they don't have enough bone for conventional implants. Basal implants were engineered to bypass this problem entirely.
Instead of anchoring in the resorbing alveolar ridge, basal implants engage the dense basal cortical bone — the structural foundation of the jaw. Cortical bone remains present throughout life, is resistant to infection, and does not resorb after tooth loss. Because it is so dense, the implant achieves immediate osseofixation — mechanical stability from the moment of placement — without waiting for biological bone bonding.
This immediate stability is what makes fixed teeth within 72 hours clinically achievable. Research presented at the FDI Regional Congress / SIDC 2025, Riyadh by Dr. Haris Mehmood demonstrated immediate full-mouth rehabilitation using bicortical hybrid implants without bone grafting in severely atrophic maxilla — validating the approach in peer-reviewed international scientific settings.
Dense, permanent, infection-resistant. Never resorbs after tooth loss. Present throughout life — even after decades of edentulism.
Softer bone that supported tooth roots. Resorbs progressively after extraction — shrinking in height and width over time.
Osseofixation provides immediate stability — no 3–6 month biological bonding wait. Bridge measurements taken same day as surgery; bridge delivered within 72 hours.
Because basal implants engage cortical bone — not the resorbed alveolar ridge — bone augmentation procedures are not required, even in cases of severe bone loss.
Most basal implant procedures require a single pilot osteotomy — no large incisions, no flap elevation. Rapid recovery with minimal post-operative discomfort.
Severe bone loss, previous implant failures, long-term denture wearers, compromised healing environments — basal implants are clinically indicated for these presentations.
Cortical bone does not resorb — providing lasting structural stability for the implant over the long term with appropriate maintenance.
How basal implants work —
and why the difference matters.
The distinction between basal and conventional implants is not brand or material — it is where in the jaw they anchor, and what that means for your timeline, bone requirements, and treatment pathway.
Basal implant options
matched to your case.
Dr. Haris selects the appropriate system based on CBCT 3D scan findings, bone architecture, and case complexity.
Complete implant placed and provisional bridge fitted in a single surgical appointment. Suitable for cases with adequate cortical bone thickness. Most commonly used for dental tourism patients with straightforward full-arch presentations.
Thin-diameter screws engaging both cortical plates of the jaw — upper and lower — for maximum primary stability in complex cases with thin ridges or challenging bone architecture. Clinically researched for full-arch rehabilitation.
6 to 8 strategically placed basal implants supporting a full-arch fixed bridge — replacing all teeth in one or both jaws within 72 hours. Clinically indicated for complete edentulism without bone grafting. CBCT-guided planning mandatory.
Basal implants are clinically indicated
for patients other approaches cannot serve.
Suitability is confirmed by CBCT 3D scan — not assumptions. Every case is assessed individually. Send your X-rays via WhatsApp for a free remote pre-assessment before travelling to the clinic.
"I've worn dentures for 15 years. Three clinics said I'd need 12 months of bone grafting. My bone is completely gone from the alveolar ridge."
"I'm in Pakistan for 5 days from London. Conventional implants would mean two separate trips 6 months apart. That's not possible for me."
"Two implants failed at another clinic. The bone around them is damaged. I've been advised I cannot have implants again."
"My physician says bone grafting carries too much risk for me. I need the most minimally invasive implant option available."
"All my remaining teeth are periodontally compromised with Grade III mobility. I need everything extracted and replaced in one coordinated treatment."
"My daughter's wedding is in 3 weeks. I've had a missing front tooth for 2 years. I need something permanent — not a flipper or temporary crown."
Everything that happens
from Day 1 to Done.
Every step is planned before it begins. Dr. Haris walks through the full process at your consultation — nothing proceeds without your understanding and consent.
CBCT 3D imaging maps your cortical bone availability, bone density, jaw anatomy, nerve pathways, and sinus position in full three dimensions. This is the clinical foundation of your treatment plan. Dr. Haris presents your personalised plan — number of implants, positions, timeline, and full transparent cost breakdown — before any treatment is scheduled. You ask questions. You approve. Nothing proceeds without your consent.
Where failing or periodontally compromised teeth remain, extractions can be performed in the same appointment as implant placement in appropriate cases. Basal implants can be placed into fresh extraction sockets where the cortical walls remain stable at extraction — reducing total visits and utilising the natural cortical support.
Under local anaesthesia, a single small pilot osteotomy is created per implant site — no large incisions, no flap elevation. The basal implant is inserted through this channel and anchored in the cortical bone to the planned depth and angulation. Osseofixation — immediate mechanical stability — is achieved the moment the implant is seated. Most patients describe the experience as less uncomfortable than anticipated.
Immediately following implant placement, digital impressions of the implant positions are captured via intraoral scanning — precise, comfortable, no impression trays. These measurements feed directly into bridge fabrication. Bridge construction begins immediately while you recover from the placement procedure.
Your fixed bridge is seated, adjusted for bite, and secured to the implant heads. The bridge spans all implants across the arch, distributing chewing forces and protecting the implants during initial consolidation. You leave Hassaan Dental Clinic with fixed, permanent-looking teeth — not a removable temporary or a gap — a real, functional bridge.
A 6-week review assesses healing, bridge fit, and occlusion. For international patients, remote follow-up via WhatsApp is offered — send photographs and X-rays from your home country for monitoring by Dr. Haris. Annual check-ups are recommended to verify cortical bone stability and prosthesis condition over the long term.
